At Dassault Systèmes, we don't just sell software — we help shape the future of engineering through modeling and simulation.

We are currently looking for a solution-oriented Sales Expert SIMULIA Aerospace & Defense (m/f/d) to join us as soon as possible.

Your mission is to position SIMULIA simulation solutions, including our 3DEXPERIENCE platform, as enablers of innovation, process optimization, and product excellence for our clients.

• Engage selectively with partners when their involvement supports broader customer success or accelerates adoption, ensuring clear coordination and consistent messaging
• Monitor and manage pipeline health, sales forecasting, and account planning activities with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
• Contribute to the identification of new lighthouse opportunities that can showcase end-to-end digital transformation in the A&D sector

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in engineering, business, or a related field
• At least 4 years of experience in consultative sales of complex software solutions, ideally in simulation, CAE, or engineering-driven environments

• Strong business acumen with the ability to align technical solutions to customer needs and strategic goals
• Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills across technical and executive audiences
• A proactive, structured, and goal-oriented approach with a growth mindset
• Fluency in German and English at a professional level is mandatory

• A collaborative and international work environment focused on innovation and continuous learning
• A competitive compensation package including company car, pension plan, and performance incentives
• Flexible working hours, hybrid work models, 30 vacation days, and extensive benefits
• Access to world-class training and career development programs
