Local Service Unit (LSU) Sales Manager -Germany (f/m/d)

The Opportunity

Be part of Hitachi Energy's mission to inspire the next, advancing a sustainable energy future for all, as you lead Service Sales for BU Service at the country level in Germany.

Take on a pivotal leadership role within the Local Service Unit, shaping how we support customers across the full service lifecycle and positioning Hitachi Energy as a long-term, trusted partner.

Act as a connector across businesses, driving a true One Hitachi Energy Service approach in close collaboration with Product, Systems, and the HVDC, Power Electronics and Grid Automation Service teams.

Operate with a mindset that embraces both strategic clarity and creative exploration - someone who is energised by discovering new solutions to existing problems and identifying new markets and new business potential.

Thrive in a high-trust, values-driven culture where safety, integrity and collaboration are non-negotiable, and where inclusion and continuous development allow you to grow alongside the business.

This is a role for someone who chooses the red pill - leaning confidently into the unknown, challenging assumptions, and shaping what comes next rather than relying on what has always been done.
