Your Responsibilities

• You identify and research potential Chinese customers planning to expand into European markets and explore new business opportunities.
• You proactively approach prospective customers through various channels, including phone calls, social media, networking events, and referrals.
• You support new customer acquisition, continuously develop the sales pipeline, and contribute to business growth.
• You analyze customer requirements and needs and coordinate with internal stakeholders to develop tailored logistics solutions.
• You represent Rhenus at customer meetings, trade fairs, and networking events while building and strengthening relationships within the Chinese business community.
• You manage existing customer relationships, identify opportunities for additional services and cross-selling, and actively contribute to long-term customer satisfaction.

What you bring

• You have initial professional experience in sales, business development, account management, customer service, consulting, or a comparable commercial environment.
• You hold a bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Logistics, Supply Chain Management, International Business, or a comparable qualification.
• You have a strong interest in international business, Chinese companies, and their expansion activities in European markets. Knowledge of logistics or supply chain management is an advantage.
• You demonstrate a strong commercial mindset, a proactive hunter mentality, and a genuine passion for acquiring new customers and identifying business opportunities.
• You have excellent communication and networking skills, a solution-oriented approach, and the ability to work confidently in an international and multicultural environment.
• You are fluent in English; Mandarin Chinese is highly preferred. Additional European language skills are considered an advantage.
