Regional Ownership: Take full responsibility for a major bicycle region in your area, managing all business relationships end-to-end.

Stock Purchasing: Identify and purchase excess stock from partners to expand our product offering.
Build Long-Term Trust: The bike industry is built on relationships. You will need to be an available and reliable stakeholder, and just as comfortable talking technical specs with a mechanic as you are negotiating contracts with a business owner.
Negotiations: Secure the most favorable purchasing conditions for Upway through effective and strategic negotiations.
Deploy Additional Services: Leverage your network of existing trusted partners to support the deployment of new services as we turn the trade-in platform into a fully-fledged B2B ecosystem (including pickup, drop-off, maintenance, B2B sales…)

Experience: A strong interest in B2B Sales.
Hunter Mindset: You are not afraid to push open doors. You enjoy the thrill of closing a new deal and don't take "no" for an answer easily.
Road Warrior: You are energized by being in the field. You are willing to travel 80% of the time within your region to strengthen partner relationships.
Analytical Hustle: You use data to prioritize your targets and optimize your routes.
Negotiation: Proven track record of securing favorable terms through strong negotiation skills.
A genuine passion for life on two wheels: Our partners are true enthusiasts, and so are we. Your authentic excitement for bikes will be the key to unlocking conversations, building trust, and establishing yourself as a relevant peer in the industry.
Languages: Native level in German and professional proficiency in English (for internal reporting and communication).

Impact & Ownership: You are directly contributing to the decarbonization of mobility by giving thousands of e-bikes a second life.
Autonomy: You are the owner of your territory. We give you the tools, but you build the strategy.
Growth: Join a Series C scale-up backed by top-tier investors (Sequoia, Exor) during our hyper-growth phase in Europe.
Competitive Package: Attractive salary plus equity participation.
Perks & Benefits: Company Car, corporate Benefits program, phone allowance, Deutsche Bahn ticket, and regular team offsites.
