(Junior) Sales Manager (m/f/d)

#WEAREPLASTICFREE - Are you?

During our semester abroad in Indonesia, we, Kevin and Daniel, witnessed for ourselves how the earth is suffering from increasing littering. Inspired by local initiatives fighting for a plastic-free Indonesia, we also want to pay more attention to the issue in Germany, promote plastic alternatives and help to ensure that we live up to our global pioneering role. That's why we founded #IAMPLASTICFREE 5 years ago.

We started with our #IAMPLASTICFREE drinking straws and our portfolio now includes various plastic-free disposable and reusable items as well as packaging materials. Our customers include numerous hotels (25hours, Upstalsboom, Atlantic), restaurants (Mutterland, Neni's), bars (Boilerman Bar, Strandpauli) and retailers (Rewe, Edeka). But this is just the beginning.

To drive forward our little plastic-free revolution, we are looking for energetic reinforcement as (Junior) Sales Manager (m/f/d).
