Are you ready to play a key role in Teamleader’s growth in Germany? We’re looking for a versatile and driven colleague eager to help build our presence in a new and promising market — someone excited to be part of the early growth phase and shape our success in Germany.

Who are we and why should you care?

Teamleader is a SaaS scale-up born in 2012 in Ghent, Belgium. Our mission? To make work easier, not harder, for small and medium-sized businesses.

Teamleader offers a suite of five products, two of which are expanding their presence in the German market:

• Teamleader Focus – Our all-in-one solution designed to help small businesses streamline their CRM, project management, and invoicing processes.

We're building momentum in Germany and looking for passionate people to help us grow our impact in this key market.
