Regional Managing Director & Principal Partner West Germany

Build and lead the expansion of an established international SME advisory business in West Germany.

After years of leading organisations, managing commercial responsibility, and navigating increasingly complex business environments, many experienced leaders reach the same conclusion:

They no longer want another corporate position.

They want autonomy, ownership, strategic relevance, and the opportunity to build something meaningful on their own terms.

thexton armstrong is seeking an experienced senior business leader to establish and lead our long-term expansion across West Germany.

This is not a salaried employment position. It is an entrepreneurial leadership opportunity for a commercially experienced operator seeking to build a long-term advisory and mentoring business within the German SME market.

About thexton armstrong

thexton armstrong is an international SME mentoring and business advisory organisation established in the Netherlands in 2011.

The organisation supports SME business owners through:

• Strategic mentoring
• Long-term business growth

The group currently operates across:

• The Netherlands
• and the United Kingdom

Why West Germany?

West Germany represents one of Europe’s strongest SME economies, with a highly developed Mittelstand sector and a large concentration of privately owned businesses.

At the same time, many SME owners continue to face:

• increasing operational complexity
• succession and leadership challenges
• talent retention issues
• and the growing demands of scaling sustainable businesses

The Opportunity

Initially, the role focuses on:

• establishing regional market presence
• building a portfolio of SME clients
• and developing strategic relationships within the German business community

Over time, the opportunity may evolve towards:

• broader regional leadership
• mentoring additional advisors
• building a regional advisory structure
• and expanding long-term market presence across West Germany

This is therefore not a conventional consulting role, but an opportunity to build a meaningful long-term business platform with international backing, operational infrastructure, and proven methodologies already in place.

What you will be doing

• Working directly with SME business owners and leadership teams
• Building trusted long-term advisory relationships
• Supporting business improvement and strategic growth
• Developing regional market presence
• Expanding referral and professional relationship networks
• Contributing to long-term business development initiatives

What is provided

• Structured methodologies and operational frameworks
• Training, onboarding, and strategic support
• CRM and operational systems
• Marketing and business-development infrastructure
• Collaboration with experienced international partners
• A scalable long-term business model

Who this may suit

This opportunity is well suited to:

• Former CEOs or Managing Directors
• Experienced entrepreneurs or business owners
• Independent advisors or consultants
• Senior commercial leaders seeking greater autonomy
• Operators looking to build a substantial long-term business activity

You will typically bring

• significant commercial and leadership experience
• strong relationship-building capability
• and fluency in both German and English

This opportunity requires active business development, leadership, and long-term commitment.

For the right individual, however, it offers the opportunity to build something substantial within one of Europe’s most important SME markets.
