## Description (the employer's text)

### You enjoy:

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.

### Your tasks are:

- 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
### What we expect from you:

- 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
### What you can expect from us:

- 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.
