Jobs at iGrafx (Now Hiring) — 2 open

Business Development Leader, DACH (m/f/d)

Department: Sales

Location: Remote (Germany-based)

**Please note that we will not offer visa sponsorship or visa transfer for this position.

Overview

The Head of Business Development, DACH is a hybrid sales and channel development role responsible for driving iGrafx’s growth across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in the small and mid-sized business (SMB) segment. This role owns both direct sales execution and the build-out of a regional partner network, making it a foundational hire for iGrafx’s go-to-market strategy in DACH.

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable carrying and closing their own pipeline as they are identifying, recruiting, and enabling resellers, consultancies, and technology partners who can extend iGrafx’s reach into the SMB market. This is a builder role: success looks like a healthy direct pipeline alongside a growing bench of productive partners.

Locations

Remote position based in Germany, with travel across the DACH region as needed for customer and partner meetings, trade shows, and partner events.
