About METRO
METRO's sellers sell food, drink and kitchen supplies wholesale to the people who run restaurants, hotels, cafés and caterers (and, in Pakistan and one Siegen territory, to traders who resell), under METRO in Germany, France, Turkey, Hungary, Poland and Pakistan, Makro in the Netherlands and Aviludo, a delivered-food distributor, in Portugal. Germany, with 68 of the 121 sales titles, pairs a field rep who owns a named territory (Landshut, Münsterland, Bremen and Bremerhaven, a Cologne seat aimed at Turkish restaurants) with an inside-sales colleague who phones the regulars and runs delivery orders, and it openly recruits cooks and restaurant managers into the field job; France splits the same work into itinerant hunters who open the METRO card and hand the client to a generalist after the first order, telesales teams in Nanterre and Savigny-le-Temple, and territorial key-account reps who also collect what multi-outlet clients owe. A separate unit, METRO Deutschland Consulting, sells the DISH till, card payments, online reservations, websites and ordering shop to the same restaurants. By role, 69 titles are field sales (40 German territories, 13 French itinerant reps, plus Portugal, Pakistan, Turkey and Dutch HoReCa account managers), 15 inside or telesales, 9 key account managers, 8 digital sales (seven German DISH seats and a digital sales area manager in Rome) and 6 team heads, one of them over about 20 inside staff in Greifswald. The other 14 do not sell, among them SAP and AI solution architects in Düsseldorf, HR partners for the Polish sales force, an energy project lead near Paris and three fresh-counter jobs at a Makro store in Amsterdam; none of the 121 is in the US, and after Germany come France (23), Portugal (8) and the Netherlands (6).

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
