Top Companies Hiring for Sales Jobs in Frankfurt (Oct 2026)

You want to know who is actually hiring for sales in Frankfurt before you burn a week on applications that go nowhere. Here is the live picture, with the outreach scripts and the plan to use it.

The snapshot, and what it tells you#

On 14 October 2026, the JobRise live jobs feed showed 16 open sales jobs in Frankfurt. Thirteen of those were posted in the last 30 days, and 13 in the last 7 days alone, so the market is moving right now. Fresh stock. Good sign.

For scale: Frankfurt carries 93 open listings across all categories, and there are 240 Sales listings across all of Germany. Frankfurt's 16 sales openings sit as a real slice of the national picture, not a rounding error, and the JobRise Hiring Report: Germany gives you the wider regional view before you commit to one city. Worth a look.

Two caveats before the rankings. These are counts of open listings on one feed on one date, not a market survey. And not one of the 16 listings shows a salary. Ask early.

Companies ranked by open sales listings#

Mongodb leads with 3 open listings. APM Monaco follows with 2. Then eight companies sit at 1 listing each: Pigment, Emagine, Futurae, Japan Management, Ideals, Aktivbank, Wolt - English, and Westbridge Gruppe.

The job title tells you more than the company name does, because it tells you what you will actually sell and who you will sell to. Read titles first.

• Mongodb: 3 open listings, the largest single block in the slice.
• APM Monaco: 2 open listings, including a part-time retail sales role.
• Pigment: 1 listing, "Corporate Account Executive (x/f/m) - DACH".
• Emagine: 1 listing, "Sales & Account Manager, Training Solutions (Go-to-Market) (m/w/d), Germany".
• Futurae: 1 listing, "Senior Partnerships Manager (DACH)".
• Japan Management: 1 listing, "Technical Account Specialist (m/w/d) - ABS / Kunststoffindustrie".
• Ideals: 1 listing, "Enterprise Account Executive - Frankfurt (m/w/d)".
• Aktivbank: 1 listing, "Mitarbeiterin (m/w/d) Vertriebsaußendienst Factoring".
• Wolt - English: 1 listing, "Senior Sales Manager, Regional Enterprise".
• Westbridge Gruppe: 1 listing.

Some of these names are recruiters or staffing firms, not the end employer. That is normal in Germany. It changes how you apply.

One more detail worth your attention: 15 of the 16 roles are full-time and 1 is part-time, and that part-time role is the APM Monaco "Sales Advisor - Permanent Contract - Part-Time (20h per week) - Frankfurt" position. If you need reduced hours, this slice currently offers you exactly one clean option.

How to target each type of employer#

The list splits into three practical groups. Each needs a different pitch.

Product companies with enterprise sales roles

Pigment, Ideals, Wolt - English, and Futurae are hiring named account or partnership roles: "Corporate Account Executive (x/f/m) - DACH", "Enterprise Account Executive - Frankfurt (m/w/d)", "Senior Sales Manager, Regional Enterprise", and "Senior Partnerships Manager (DACH)". These titles mean you will carry a number against named accounts, so your application has to show deal sizes, sales cycle length, and the segments you have closed into. Numbers first. Story second.

Technical and specialist sellers

Japan Management's "Technical Account Specialist (m/w/d) - ABS / Kunststoffindustrie" and Aktivbank's "Mitarbeiterin (m/w/d) Vertriebsaußendienst Factoring" are industry-specific roles where German matters as much as domain knowledge does. If you have sold into manufacturing, chemicals, or financial services, put that in the first two lines of your CV, because a hiring manager skimming for six seconds will not find it on page two. Say it up front.

Recruiters and staffing firms

Emagine and Westbridge Gruppe sit in this group, and Mongodb's listings may also run through a hiring partner. With a recruiter you are pitching yourself as a placeable candidate rather than answering one ad, so send a short profile with your target role, salary range, notice period, and work permit status. They match you to roles that never get published. Cheap option.

Referral and outreach scripts#

Cold outreach works when it is short and specific. Long messages get ignored.

Here is a script for a hiring manager on LinkedIn, aimed at a named account role:

"Hi [Name], I saw the Enterprise Account Executive opening in Frankfurt and wanted to reach out directly. I have sold B2B software into DACH mid-market accounts for the past four years, with an average deal size around [X] and a [Y]-month cycle. Happy to share a short summary of my track record if useful. Either way, good luck with the search."

For a recruiter, use this instead:

"Hi [Name], I am looking for a sales role in Frankfurt, full-time, ideally enterprise or mid-market account management. I am available with [notice period] notice and my range is [X to Y] EUR base. I have attached my CV and would be glad to discuss any fit."

Keep both under 80 words. Do not attach a cover letter to a LinkedIn message. Never ask for "any opportunities", because that hands the reader nothing to act on.

A 7-step plan for the next two weeks#

1. Pull the current list of sales openings in Frankfurt and save the links, so you can see what is new versus what has been open a while.
2. Sort the roles into the three groups above: enterprise account roles, technical or specialist sellers, and recruiter-posted positions.
3. Rewrite the top third of your CV for the group you are strongest in. Lead with the segment you have sold into and the results you can evidence.
4. Use the free company insights tool to check each employer's size, sector, and recent activity before you write anything to them.
5. Apply to the two or three roles that fit best first, and send the outreach script to the hiring manager on the same day you apply.
6. Send the recruiter script to Emagine, Westbridge Gruppe, and any other staffing contact on the list, with your notice period and range stated plainly.
7. Track everything in a simple spreadsheet: company, role title, date applied, contact name, and next follow-up date. Follow up once after five working days.

FAQ#

How current are these numbers?

They are a snapshot of the JobRise live jobs feed taken on 14 October 2026, counting open listings, not a market survey. Listings change daily, so re-check the feed before you rely on any specific count.

Why do none of the roles show a salary?

No listing in this slice included a salary figure. In Germany some ads now carry a range and some do not, so ask about the range early and check the current official requirements on salary transparency before your interview.

Are the entry-level options really that thin?

In this snapshot, 0 of 16 titles looked entry-level, meaning no intern, graduate, junior, or trainee wording appeared. If you are early in your career, look wider than this slice and consider the recruiter route, since staffing firms often fill junior roles that are not advertised publicly.

Should I apply through a recruiter or the company directly?

Apply directly when the listing names the end employer, and treat recruiters as a second channel rather than a replacement. If the same role appears through a recruiter and on the company site, applying twice can create confusion, so pick one route and mention it if asked.

Do I need German for these roles?

Several titles are in German or name German-speaking markets, such as the Aktivbank field sales role and the DACH-focused positions at Pigment and Futurae. Others, like the Wolt - English listing, are advertised in English, so check the language of each ad and ask before assuming.
