As the Business Development Manager (f/m/d) - Waste & Circular Economy, you will play an integral role in shaping and growing Siemens' presence in one of the world's most dynamic and purpose-driven markets. The waste and recycling sector — spanning smart waste infrastructure, material recovery, waste-to-energy, and circular economy solutions — represents a significant and fast-growing opportunity, and Siemens is committed to becoming a leading technology partner within it.

This is your opportunity to build something meaningful. You will be the driving force behind Siemens' waste vertical commercial growth, working directly alongside regional sales teams across Europe and the US to convert market access into closed deals and long-term customer relationships. Bringing deep waste domain expertise — across processes, procurement cycles, techno-commercial dynamics, and key industry players — you will be the credible expert voice that customers trust and that internal teams rely on to win.

We are looking for an entrepreneurial market developer who combines genuine waste industry knowledge with a relentless commercial drive — who thrives on building pipeline, opening doors, and closing business in a complex, multi-stakeholder environment.

• 30 leave days and a variety of flexible working models that allow time off for yourself and your family

• Share matching programs to become a shareholder of Siemens AG

• Continuous Learning: Benefit from specialized training and daily challenges to keep your expert knowledge up-to-date

• Innovative Environment: Be part of a team that values innovation and continuous improvement

Since each of over 300,000 employees feels that other benefits are particularly important, and we cannot list our entire benefit portfolio here, you can find more information here.

  • A commercial mindset – proven track record of pipeline development, opportunity management, and closing business in complex, multi-stakeholder industrial environments
  • Customer credibility confident and compelling in senior and technical engagements with waste operators, municipalities, system integrators, and OEMs
  • Entrepreneurial drive — comfortable operating in a space that is being actively built, with the initiative to create structure and momentum where neither yet fully exists
  • Willingness to travel regularly across priority regions

• Ways of Working: Neutral
