Technical Sales Board lists technical and industrial sales jobs only – no retail, no call centre, no software subscriptions.

What you see here is what is open right now.

DACH covers Germany, Austria, and Switzerland – one search instead of 3 separate ones, which is how most sales territories are cut anyway.

The roles advertised most often here are Technical Inside Sales (44), Technical Sales Representative (41), Technical Sales Engineer (38), Sales Manager (30), Key Account Manager (29), and Area Sales Manager (24).

Technical inside sales teams prepare quotations, clarify technical details, handle orders and support the field sales force – the backbone of every industrial sales organisation.
