Background
Mercedes-Maybach is a leading global automotive luxury brand. In the department “Product Management & Business Development Maybach“, we steer the brand, the products and related services. A small team of passionate professionals with diverse backgrounds, we are driven by our mission to unlock the next chapter of the successful Maybach brand.
We ensure success by closely aligning with our counterparts in the key markets (e.g. China, Korea, USA, …) and the headquarter functions of Mercedes-Benz (R&D, production, marketing & sales, finance, …). In the strategy team, we take the bird’s eye view and ask the big questions, e.g.: how to steer and structure the Maybach business? How to prioritize our market research activities and how to manage our knowledge? Who are our current and future customers and competitors? How could our business model evolve, and which growth pockets should we seek to unlock?
By tackling these questions, we directly contribute to Maybach’s future success. If this sounds interesting to you, we are excited to hear from you! Please send your CV & application letter directly to Jonas Feller.
