At a pivotal stage of BLP’s growth, this role carries meaningful ownership and visibility across the business. You will shape how we compete and win in the German market, selling directly to CEOs, CFOs, CPOs, CSOs, and CIOs across leading industrial and retail companies, helping them reimagine operations through intelligent ERP automation.
