- Marc, Co-founder of Aquablu

Since launching our flagship system Aquablu REFILL in 2023, we’ve grown 300%+ year-over-year, expanded to 16 countries, and were named the Fastest Growing Tech Company in Health & Wellness in the Netherlands. Now, we’re ready to take that growth to the next level, we’re looking for a Partner Sales Manager to lead the charge in the DACH region. You’ll be the go-to person in the DACH region, but you’ll never feel alone. You’ll have direct contact with Marc (our Co-Founder & CCO), collaborate with other Partner Sales Managers, and engage daily with a steady network of partners.

How you’ll make an impact as Partner Sales Manager (DACH)

Simple: you’ll be the one who builds and leads our local partner ecosystem from scratch. You’ll activate new dealers, grow existing accounts, and steer regional strategy through data and market insights. It’s a role for someone who’s equal parts operator, hunter and strategist. This isn’t about maintaining. It’s about growing something that doesn’t exist yet and owning every step of the way. You’ll report directly to our Co-founder & CCO (Marc), work closely with Partner Managers across Europe, and become the face of Aquablu in the DACH region.

What you’ll be doing

• Build a high-performing partner network.
  You’ll identify, onboard, and train new resellers and dealers starting with Germany, and later Austria, and Switzerland, while serving as the go-to contact for all local partners. With a strong focus on enablement and relationship building, you’ll empower them to sell and scale with confidence.

• Grow the business
  You’ll close strategic partnerships and uncover untapped opportunities in the market, driving expansion across regions, verticals, and customer segments. Along the way, you’ll keep a sharp eye on KPIs and partner performance to ensure we’re scaling with impact.

• Shape the DACH strategy.
  By sharing on-the-ground insights, you’ll influence everything from product and positioning to our go-to-market approach. You’ll use data and partner feedback to refine our channel playbooks and create a local partner scorecard that drives smarter, faster decisions.

What you bring to the table

• 5+ years of experience in Channel Sales / Strategic Partnerships / Partner Enablement

• You live in the DACH region (or near the border in NL) and speak German & English fluently

• A builder’s mindset – you’re proactive, hands-on and like having full ownership

• You know how to open doors, close deals, and grow what you build

• You’re confident with data, CRM tools and a fast-moving environment

• Experience in SaaS, tech or FMCG is a big plus

• Comfortable with travel across the region – meeting partners face-to-face is second nature to you
