Head of Commercial Affairs (m/f/d)

Create structure. Drive implementation. Develop people.
Five areas. One team. One shared direction.

We are an international family-owned company with a pioneering spirit, active in more than 40 countries, and we want to keep growing. To do this, we need a leader who not only secures the commercial foundation for this growth, but actively helps shape it: with passion for people, enthusiasm for processes and the determination to make a real difference.

• Full commercial responsibility for Finance, Purchasing & Pricing, HR, IT and Customer Support, with seven direct reports and a total team of around 14 employees
• Translating strategic objectives into clear processes and measurable goals
• Leading, supporting and actively developing seven direct reports
• Further developing digital processes and systems, with the aim of reducing complexity rather than managing it
• Commercial steering: knowing the numbers, understanding interdependencies and taking timely action

• Degree in business administration or a comparable qualification
• Several years of leadership experience in a medium-sized company, ideally in a manufacturing or technology-driven environment with an international focus
• Fluent German and English, at least C1 level
• Strong understanding of digital processes and the ability not only to use systems, but to develop them further
• Strong implementation skills and a pragmatic mindset: you make things happen instead of finding reasons why they cannot work
• Clear communication, confidence in decision-making and the ability to maintain an overview even in complex situations
• Genuine interest in developing people, not as an obligation but as part of your leadership approach
• Enjoyment of change and the resilience that comes with it

• Genuine freedom to shape your role in a company that does not fear change – but embraces it.
• Direct collaboration with the management team in a family-owned company where short decision-making processes and open communication really matter.
• A role with real influence on our continued growth – both nationally and internationally.
• Training and development: Lifelong learning is an integral part of our company culture. We support you with a wide range of internal and external training opportunities to expand your knowledge and stay up to date.
• Development opportunities: Looking for new perspectives? In regular employee reviews, we discuss your performance, development and future opportunities together.
• Health and well-being: Your health matters to us. Together with our company doctor, we support you with health-promoting measures and regular check-ups.
• Your own buddy: We want you to feel at home with us from the start. That is why, during your first few months at Dr. Eckel, a team member will be there to answer questions, offer support or simply have a chat.
• Flexibility: We give you the opportunity to balance your professional and personal life. Flexible working hours and the option of hybrid working help you organise your day around your needs.
• Team events: Whether it is a company event, a spontaneous pizza night or an evening of bowling, there are plenty of opportunities to spend time together outside work.
• Language courses: We support your language development with digital individual and group courses.
• Stay charged: Recharge your electric car conveniently during working hours at our on-site charging stations.
• Well insured: We offer a range of additional insurance benefits, from legal protection for traffic and criminal law matters to accident insurance that also covers your leisure time.
