About Bertelsmann

The group board carries openings from many separately run Bertelsmann companies, each with its own product: Arvato Systems sells SAP transformation (RISE and GROW with SAP, S/4HANA), Microsoft, cyber security and process automation projects to insurers, energy utilities and pharma firms; Arvato's supply chain arm sells 3PL, e-commerce fulfilment and data center logistics; and Riverty sells debt collection, purchase of non-performing consumer loans and, through BFS finance, factoring to mid-sized firms. Smaller streams come from EXTEDO (regulatory information software for pharma and health authorities), Relias (wound care training sold to healthcare organizations), Fremantle UK (digital branded content sold to brands and agencies) and DK, whose London export manager sells DK and Sourcebooks titles across continental Europe, South America and the Caribbean. Many postings repeat one job across several German cities: Arvato Systems lists senior sales managers for the energy sector 10 times (in two variants) and for automating insurers' claims and document input and output 5 times, SAP solution sales managers and cyber security presales consultants 3 times each, and a warehouse solutions consultant and customer success role appears 5 times. Counted as distinct jobs, the 61 come to roughly 39, among them senior field and key account sellers, logistics account managers who run a client's service levels and P&L, two RTL Group corporate strategy seats in Cologne that carry no quota, and entry places (an SDR, a junior debt collection seller for the parking industry, a working student, an internship and a dual-study place). Germany holds 41 postings, about two thirds, while the US has four, the Netherlands four and the rest are single seats across Europe.
