How to Apply for Geschäftsführer / CEO (m/w/d) Aufbau und Skalierung eines Watertech Unternehmens

at RX-WATERTEC GmbH

🏢 About RX-WATERTEC GmbH

RX-WATERTEC GmbH is an innovative company developing sustainable urban water management solutions to transform cities into climate-resilient environments. What makes them unique is their focus on translating technological strength into scalable market solutions within regulated municipal and infrastructure sectors, positioning them at the intersection of environmental impact and commercial growth.

About This Role

This CEO role involves building a market-ready company from an existing technological setup, requiring hands-on development of go-to-market strategies, sales structures in municipal environments, and translating regulatory frameworks into product decisions. It's impactful because you'll be creating a scalable Watertech business that addresses critical climate resilience challenges while delivering investor returns.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve morning strategy sessions on market positioning for municipal clients, afternoon discussions with technical teams about regulatory-compliant product adaptations, and evening investor updates on growth metrics. You'd balance high-level governance with hands-on sales structure development and regulatory analysis.

🎯 Who RX-WATERTEC GmbH Is Looking For

  • Has held top management responsibility for building and scaling a business in regulated markets (municipal, infrastructure, or similar complex environments)
  • Demonstrates practical business model thinking with experience translating technology into revenue-generating solutions, not just presentation skills
  • Possesses specific experience navigating regulatory frameworks and building trust with municipal decision-makers to secure market access
  • Has successfully established KPIs, control logics, and processes that enable efficient capital deployment and measurable growth

📝 Tips for Applying to RX-WATERTEC GmbH

Quantify your experience with specific examples of building/scaling businesses in regulated markets - include metrics like revenue growth, market share gained, or processes implemented

2

Demonstrate your understanding of municipal water management challenges by referencing specific regulatory frameworks (EU Water Framework Directive, national water laws) or municipal procurement processes

3

Showcase your 'business model thinking' by including a brief case study in your application of how you positioned technology to generate demand and revenue

4

Highlight your investor communication experience with specific examples of governance structures you've established or reporting mechanisms you've implemented

5

Tailor your application to show how you would approach the 'technologically strong setup to market-ready company' transition at RX-WATERTEC specifically

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
