Probably the least boring job you’ll ever have.

At air up, we don’t just make bottles. We unbore water with flavor by scent. It makes no sense until you try it, and once you do, there’s no going back. Behind it all are teams pushing boundaries every day. Product bends taste and design in new directions. Marketing turns ideas into moments people talk about. Operations makes sure those moments reach hands everywhere.
Working here feels like stepping on stage: professionalism meets passion, curiosity meets courage. You’ll experiment, fail fast, learn faster, and actually see your ideas come to life. It's refreshingly low politics and low ego. Just smart, driven people who lift each other up and make things happen. And whatever happens, it sure won't be boring.

Welcome to air up.

Our offline retail channel is one of our key growth drivers, and we are accelerating. To strengthen our existing partnerships and further expand our footprint across France, we are looking for a (Senior) Key Account Manager who is ready to take ownership, drive impact, and shape our next phase of growth.

As part of our sales team, you will play a pivotal role in expanding our presence with our existing partners while unlocking new business opportunities.

We are looking for someone with a growth mindset who thrives in an international environment and enjoys working alongside driven colleagues.

Location: Germany e.g. Munich

In this role, we follow a hybrid working model, and being based in Germany is a requirement. If you're relocating — for example from France — we'll support you with an attractive relocation package. The role requires a balance between in-person presence for team connection at our Munich headquarters, on-site customer meetings in France, and remote days for focused, independent work.

• Account Ownership: You will take full commercial ownership of selected French accounts, ensuring the achievement of sales and margin targets.

• Account Management: You will build and nurture long-term partnerships with our key partners, driving high customer satisfaction and sustainable growth.
• Market Insight: You will analyze market, sales, and customer data to identify opportunities, define clear action plans, and accelerate performance.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: You will partner closely with internal teams (Sales Coordinator, Trade Marketing, Supply Chain, Logistics) to deliver seamless execution.
• Teamwork: You will work alongside a high-performing team, share best practices, and strive for collective success.

This is you

• You bring proven experience in Key Account Management within the FMCG/CPG industry, ideally with full ownership of national grocery retail accounts.
• You feel confident leading annual negotiations and pricing discussions and know the basic structures, and dynamics of the French grocery retail landscape.
• You combine strong negotiation and communication skills with a clear commercial mindset and a consistent track record of delivering against sales and margin targets.
• You act hands-on and as a team player, proactively driving initiatives across functions.
• You are fluent in English and French (written and spoken); additional European languages are a plus.
