About the role

You'll be joining a fast-scaling, founder-led company that is redefining an entire industry. Founded in 2014, this European B2B signage company has built a premium brand trusted by some of the most recognisable names in retail, hospitality, tech, and luxury — think global household brands across Germany, Sweden, Poland, and beyond. What makes this company unique is its ambition: to become the first truly scalable business in a sector that has historically been fragmented, craft-based, and impossible to systematise. Through smart processes, technology, and now AI, they are doing exactly that. This is not a startup at zero — it's a proven business with real revenue, real clients, and a clear roadmap to European market leadership. With offices in Berlin, Wrocław, and Helsingborg, they're at an exciting inflection point and building the senior commercial team to take them there.
