Marketing & Sales Development Executive (80–100 %)

About the job

Conversations arise from curiosity – and opportunities arise from conversations.

COMSOL develops simulation software for engineers and scientists in industry, research, and academia. For our Swiss team, we are looking for a Marketing & Sales Development Executive who enjoys connecting people, technology, marketing, and sales.

This position is particularly suitable for individuals at the beginning of their professional career who think entrepreneurially, are interested in science and technology, and enjoy communicating with people.
You do not need to be an engineer or a simulation expert. What matters is curiosity, technical understanding, and the ability to competently advance conversations with potential customers.

Your Role

You will work at the interface of marketing and technical sales, closely collaborating with our Technical Sales Team. You will help us reach relevant target groups with effective campaigns and develop interested contacts into qualified business opportunities.
Your tasks include:

• Researching target groups: identifying companies, organisations, and relevant contacts
• Executing campaigns: coordinating marketing activities from target lists through content and launch to follow-up
• Engaging leads: managing interested contacts via email and phone – no cold calling.
• Qualifying business opportunities: understanding interests and needs and recognising when our technical experts should be involved
• Working in a structured manner: using CRM, marketing, and project management tools and consistently tracking campaigns
• Coordinating press activities: collaborating with print and online media partners and monitoring campaign performance
• Meeting customers in person: supporting our team at trade fairs, workshops, and other events about once a month
• With increasing experience, taking on more responsibility for campaign planning, new target groups, and business development.

What You Bring

Above all, you enjoy communicating – and are equally good at listening. You feel comfortable picking up the phone, writing a good email, approaching people at events, and working with technically skilled colleagues.

Additionally, you bring:

• German or French at native level and very good knowledge of the other language; Swiss German/French would be ideal
• Good professional English skills
• A commercial/business background with an interest in technology or a BSc in engineering or natural sciences with an interest in marketing and sales
• Education in Switzerland or at least three years of professional experience in Switzerland
• Organisational talent, accuracy, and confident use of digital tools
• Curiosity and sufficient technical understanding to grasp technical or scientific issues in principle
• Team spirit and enthusiasm for learning new things
• Experience in sales, customer contact, marketing, or business development is an advantage but not a requirement.

Why COMSOL?

At COMSOL, you work in an international high-tech environment with customers from a wide range of industries, science, and research. You learn from experienced colleagues in marketing, sales, and engineering and build your expertise in B2B marketing, sales development, campaign management, and the high-tech market.

The position offers the opportunity to learn quickly, take on increasing responsibility, and grow together with us.

• Workload: 80–100 %
• Working style: predominantly on-site in the office; customer events about once a month
• Development: structured learning-on-the-job with increasing responsibility

Are you interested in technology, enjoy working with people, and want to see how marketing activities turn into concrete business opportunities?
Then we would like to get to know you.
