Job description

German/English Customer Retentions Specialist

If you’re the kind of person who loves building relationships that actually last — not just hitting “send” and hoping for the best — this role might just fit you perfectly.

You’ll be the bridge between service and sales, turning great customer relationships into long-term partnerships. The kind of person who listens first, spots opportunities others miss, and genuinely cares about getting it right the first time.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Managing and growing customer accounts across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, communicating fluently in German by phone and email

  • Keeping everything running smoothly with the customer service team to ensure orders are accurate and on time

  • Updating customer details and notes on the CRM system (because good data equals fewer headaches later)

  • Preparing clear, accurate quotes and following them through negotiations to close

  • Hitting individual and team retention targets — and finding smart ways to upsell where it adds real value

  • Re-engaging with past customers and rebuilding trust through consistency and care

  • Advising customers on the best products for their needs, based on genuine understanding — not guesswork

  • Supporting the wider team outside of peak periods, because success here is shared, not siloed

What You’ll Need

  • Highly fluent German and confident English communication skills 

  • Proven experience in sales and customer success, or retention sales

  • Target-driven mindset with a genuine customer-first approach

  • Strong negotiation and relationship-building skills — you know how to turn “maybe” into “yes” without pressure

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment

  • A natural problem solver with a “right first time” attitude

  • Confident using CRM systems and digital tools to stay organised and proactive

What You Might Not Like

  • It’s fast-moving and targets matter — if you prefer a purely service role without commercial accountability, this isn’t it.

  • You’ll be switching gears often — from follow-up calls to quotes to relationship-building — and that takes focus.

  • The region is yours to own, which means plenty of independence… and responsibility to match.

What To Do Next

If you thrive on building trust, enjoy spotting growth opportunities, and get a genuine kick out of helping customers succeed — we’d love to hear from you.
