To strengthen our team at our location in Wietmarschen-Lohne, we are looking for a 

Business Area Manager EMEA Rosenxt Linegy (all genders welcome) 

 
Water Line Integrity, a venture of the Rosenxt Group, ensures the safety, efficiency, and longevity of critical water infrastructure through cutting-edge inspection technology and deep industry expertise. As part of the Rosenxt Linegy brand, we are building a scalable commercial presence to bring our advanced water line integrity solutions to market. 

As Business Area Manager EMEA Rosenxt Linegy Europe, you take hands-on ownership of building and running our EMEA business on the commercial and operational side – operations, business development and day-to-day delivery. This is a doer/maker role, not a corporate oversight function: you are close to customers, close to projects and close to your team. You win and grow accounts, you make sure our explanation-heavy inspection and integrity services are delivered end-to-end – from acquisition to execution – and you personally drive fast turnaround and outstanding customer satisfaction. You start with a small team and a focused service portfolio, and you grow both as the business grows. You report to and work in close collaboration with the Realization leadership, who set the strategic frame, while you own execution on the ground. 

 
What you can expect   

• Build the Water Line Integrity business from an early stage – hands-on, pragmatic and customer-first – and grow it step by step into a scalable, profitable operation. 

• Jointly drive sales and business development: identify target regions, win new customers, manage key accounts, prepare and negotiate commercial proposals, and convert opportunities into repeat business. 

• Own the day-to-day commercial and operational delivery of our explanation-heavy services – from acquisition through project close-out – ensuring fast turnaround, reliable execution and high customer satisfaction. 

• Apply, run and continuously improve the execution and project processes for the service portfolio, in line with guidelines from Business Field Management and the CEO Realization. 

• Translate regional goals into concrete commercial tactics – customer prioritization, target accounts, pricing input and pipeline management – and deliver against clear targets for order intake, revenue, margin, utilization and on-time delivery. 

• Build, lead and develop a small, high-performing team, growing it as the business scales and staying hands-on alongside them rather than managing from a distance. 

• Ensure consistent, value-driven market messaging and key customer communication for the Business Area, in line with regional and group guidance. 

• Proactively manage delivery risks, remove roadblocks, and act as the first point of contact for execution-related issues (scope, quality, timelines, customer expectations), driving constructive, customer-oriented solutions. 

• Manage the regional Business Area budget on a practical level – forecasting, monitoring and taking corrective action to hit financial and operational KPIs. 

• Work closely with application engineering to ensure technical solutions meet commercial requirements and win customer acceptance – without owning research or product development yourself. 

• Collaborate closely with Business Field Management / CEO Realization, venture incubation management and support functions to align on capacities, priorities and continuous improvement. 

What you bring  

To become part of the Rosenxt family, you convince through a highly motivated, entrepreneurial, hands-on and independent way of working. You want to build something, learn and improve day over day, and grow your career through performance together with the business. Moreover, you should bring: 

• 5+ years of experience in commercial and/or operational roles in B2B services or an industrial environment (e.g. sales, business development, account management, project or operations management), ideally with first responsibility for a customer portfolio, a project area or a small team – in utilities, water infrastructure or critical infrastructure is a plus as well as a technical background and technology understanding. 

• A clear hands-on, doer/maker mindset: you enjoy being close to customers and projects, getting things done yourself, and rolling up your sleeves rather than only delegating. 

• First experience selling or delivering explanation-heavy services – understanding customer needs, structuring proposals, and seeing projects through from acquisition to execution. 

• Practical understanding of commercial steering (pricing, margin, budgeting, forecasting) combined with strong analytical skills and a data-driven, pragmatic mindset. 

• Motivation and ability to build up a business and a team from early stages and scale them step by step, ideally with some prior exposure to start-up, new-venture or greenfield environments. 

• Strong customer orientation and solid stakeholder management skills, including the confidence to handle day-to-day escalations and negotiate practical solutions. 

• Strong communication skills in German and English; another language is a plus, as is a high willingness to travel within EMEA. 

• A growth mindset: eager to learn, open to feedback, and ready to take on more responsibility as you and the business grow. 

• Identification with our values: integrity, long-term orientation, collaboration and passion for safe, future-proof water infrastructure.
