Business Development Manager – Market Insights 90 - 100 %

About the job

RONDO is a globally active Swiss mechanical engineering company that manufactures bakery machines for rolling out and shaping dough. The headquarters of RONDO is located in Burgdorf – globally, the RONDO Group has seven subsidiaries and two sales offices.

Do you have a feel for trends in the food market and want not only to analyse but also to actively shape them?
Then take on a key role in Business Development with us and successfully advance new products, markets, and ideas.

This role is your passion
At the centre is a deep understanding of the core markets – their countries, customer segments, and needs. You analyse, research, and identify, deriving potentials and trends from this. You gain the necessary market proximity through direct exchange with customers and subsidiaries – complemented by selected trade fairs and events. To obtain the crucial information, you build alliances and a sustainable network with industry, trade, and foodservice partners.

You condense your insights into trend analyses, business cases, and forecasts that support strategic decisions. Within the market team, you closely exchange with product management, engineering, and sales, bringing relevant market insights from the individual countries and thus also providing impulses for the further development of products and services. At the same time, you prepare your findings so that sales can develop concrete go-to-market strategies from them and management receives a sound basis for the further development of the company and market strategy.

In the exchange rounds with the sales teams, you question established patterns, introduce new perspectives, and convince with facts – here, assertiveness is required. In short: your work combines analysis and research with networking, communication, and persuasiveness.

What awaits you with us
Heart – tradition – pioneering spirit! This describes the values of RONDO. Trust – growing together, keeping promises and caring, having courage and daring new things. You enter a respectful, people-oriented, and family-like corporate environment where you can bring your enthusiasm for customers in an international market environment.

Your expertise convinces us
You have a degree in business administration, food technology, agricultural sciences, or a comparable qualification and bring a good understanding of market structures and trends. You quickly grasp complex contexts, work methodically, structured, and independently, and think analytically as well as strategically. In interdisciplinary collaboration, you appear convincing and with the necessary assertiveness. German is mandatory for collaboration at the Burgdorf site, English for international business; ideally, you are regionally anchored for the necessary presence on site.
