Sales & Client Engagement Director (EMEA + DACH)

About us Constructor Labs is the research arm of Constructor Knowledge, based at Campus Ring 1 in Bremen, Germany. Our work is organized around three units: Knowledge Labs, Cyber Labs and Science Labs. We apply computing, software and robotics research to make scientists, teachers and students more effective, working with institutional partners that include CERN, NUS, Carnegie Mellon and Fraunhofer. Our EdTech practice produces research that runs in production. AI-supported remote proctoring is in use at the Irish Aviation Authority, Princess Nourah University and Saudi Electronic University, and our course delivery platform is used by CERN, EPFL, MariaDB and Acronis. For industry clients, we build tailored BSc, MSc and PhD pipelines, L&D operating models, AI upskilling programmes and customer training systems. Constructor Labs Solutions (CLS) is our client-facing systems integrator for the education and research sector, launching in September 2026. It brings audit and consultancy, content, platform, talent and R&D services together under a single contract, an offer few providers make to education buyers today. Delivery is orchestrated across several Constructor organizations: CUB, Nexford, Nexademy, EBAC, Constructor Labs and Constructor Tech. Our aim is to become the go-to systems integrator for education in EMEA by 2029. The role You will open EMEA markets for Constructor Labs Solutions as a quota-carrying individual contributor.

Supporting you are a credible research institution, named production references, an existing Constructor and Constructor Tech client base, and delivery capability across five service lines that can be combined into a single proposal. The sales motion is consultative. Engagements typically open with a low-risk paid diagnostic (Technology Landscape Assessment, Curriculum Gap Analysis or Learning Strategy Advisory), which you then convert into a multi-line implementation or managed-service mandate. Initial engagements start at around €150–250K in lifetime value and grow from there. Sales cycles in public higher education run six to twelve months, so you will manage a long-cycle institutional funnel alongside faster corporate L&D deals.
