About The Stepstone Group
Employers are the buyers here: they pay for job ads, CV database searches (DirectSearch), the Stepstone Recruit hiring platform and Salary Navigator pay benchmarking on subscription, and in the US for Appcast's programmatic job advertising, run as software or a managed service for enterprise accounts. The bulk of the hiring is phone-led new business with small and mid-sized employers: the German SMB hunter seat is posted in Münster, Düsseldorf, Köln and Frankfurt (twice in each city, as account executive and as inside sales), the same kind of telesales job sells Hotelcareer and Gastrojobs ads to hotels, restaurants and tourism from Düsseldorf and for YOURCAREERGROUP in Kloten, and SMB hunters are wanted for Pnet in Johannesburg, Jobs.ie in Dublin and stepstone.at in Vienna. Düsseldorf also holds the enterprise seats: a head of key account management, a customer success consultant for large customers, a customer success manager for reseller partners in an indirect channel the posting sizes at about €250 million, and media sales roles that grow revenue through recruitment agencies. All 9 US openings are Appcast's: seven account managers who track and steer client ad spend (St. Louis Park, Tampa, Franklin, Scottsdale, Denver, Newton, Lebanon), plus an SDR and a director who runs the SDR team, both in Newton and both also posted in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Of the 41 flagged postings 22 are in Germany, several are one job listed under two or three titles, and a few carry no quota (an Anaplan architect, two student data-quality postings, an e-commerce manager posted three times, a pricing and subscription lead).
