E-Business Consultant - Fixed-Term (f/m/d)

SICK Sensor Intelligence is looking for an E-Business Consultant to join its Düsseldorf team on a fixed-term basis. The role sits with SICK Vertriebs-GmbH in the Sales division and is based onsite in Düsseldorf. It’s a 24-month contract that suits someone who wants to shape how customers buy digitally, with a mix of commercial sense and technical curiosity. The opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys collaborating across sales, operations and IT to move e-procurement, online shops and customer portals forward.

As the central point of contact for all E-Business topics within Sales, you’ll shepherd activities around e-price lists, EDI, e-procurement, PunchOut/OCI, customer portals and online shops. You’ll handle customer inquiries, clarify commercial and technical questions with the field sales team and internal colleagues, and guide customers and the Sales team in selecting and implementing suitable E-Business solutions. The role also covers supporting new E-Business integrations from initial requirements through to implementation, as well as troubleshooting and optimizing existing solutions. Expect to help identify opportunities for process improvements and drive automation of E-Business activities, while keeping administrative tasks and system documentation up to date.

Contact is with Esther Riffel. This is an onsite, full-time position designed for a 24-month fixed-term engagement within the German sales organisation.

Guiding digital buying at the sales front

In this job you’ll be the go-to person for all things digital in the sales context. Your days will blend customer-facing advisory work with technical and process-oriented tasks, from gathering requirements to shaping the technical feasibility of requests and coordinating with colleagues across departments. You’ll help customers choose the right E-Business solutions, support their implementation projects and assist with ongoing maintenance and problem-solving. There’s a clear focus on refining how E-Business processes operate today and how they can be automated or improved for smoother buying experiences.

Beyond direct customer support, the role involves documenting inquiries, tracking activities in the appropriate systems, and ensuring that you and the team stay aligned on next steps. The fixed-term nature of the job matches projects that require focused effort over a couple of years, while still delivering a hands-on experience with digital procurement, portals and integrated shopping channels.

What you’ll bring to the team

Must-haves:

• A completed vocational qualification in a commercial or technical field, or a relevant degree, or an equivalent qualification.

• A solid technical and process-oriented understanding, ideally paired with knowledge of how commercial sales and customer processes work.

• Proficiency in SAP, CRM systems and Microsoft 365 or similar tools.

• Good command of English and strong communication and teamwork skills.

• An independent, structured, and solution-focused approach to work with a clear customer service orientation.

• An interest in digital technologies and the ability to pick up new systems, platforms and processes on your own.

Nice-to-haves:

• Knowledge of EDI, e-procurement, PunchOut/OCI, online shops, APIs or customer portals would be advantageous.

Tips for applicants

Lead your resume with the E-Business and sales-facing experience you’ve built, especially any work that connected customers to digital procurement channels or portals. If you’ve supported e-procurement, e-commerce or customer portals, highlight those outcomes up front so the reader sees the relevance to this role.

When you discuss must-have skills, ground them in concrete examples. Mention a project where you used SAP or CRM tools to support a sales process, or where you helped implement an E-Business integration from scoping to go-live. Quantify impact where possible, even if it’s time saved, fewer errors, or faster response times.

Prepare to walk the interviewer through a focused example of collaboration across functions. Describe how you coordinated with field sales and internal teams to resolve a customer inquiry, align on technical feasibility and document the final solution for future use.

Have a thoughtful question ready about their E-Business roadmap. Ask which systems are currently in play (for example SAP and CRM), what upcoming integration projects they’re prioritising, and how they measure the success of E-Business initiatives within Sales.
