Company: Tesla | Location: Bern, Berne | Department: Sales & Customer Support | Job Type: Full-time
About This Account Manager Job in Bern
This opening is on the front line of Tesla’s European retail and account operations, working directly with customers rather than behind the scenes. Tesla has an opening for a Account Manager (m/w/d) – Bern based in Bern, Berne, working within its Sales & Customer Support function.
This is a proactive, hunter-style B2B sales role rather than an account-maintenance one: Tesla wants someone who actively seeks out new mid-market business customers in the Bern area, not just services existing accounts, and owns the relationship end-to-end.
Bern anchors Tesla’s Swiss capital-region sales operations, with a strong focus on B2B and mid-market accounts.
What the Role Involves
Own a portfolio of mid-sized business customers, driving satisfaction and sales targets
Proactively identify and win new mid-market business customers
Present Tesla’s vehicles and business benefits directly to prospective business clients
Act as the link between customers and internal teams to make sure their needs are met
Manage and grow relationships with existing leasing partners for long-term revenue growth
Draft and manage contractual agreements, communicating processes clearly
Work with the SME lead on a coherent B2B growth strategy for the region
What Tesla Is Looking For
A track record of sales success, ideally in B2B, with results you can point to
Self-directed, relationship-driven working style
Strategic thinking with genuine enthusiasm for Tesla’s mission
Strong prioritisation skills across multiple simultaneous deals
Comfortable working under pressure and changing established approaches when needed
Fluent German, French and English
Based in or near Bern, given regular day trips to customers
Valid EU driving licence (Class B), held for at least two years
This posting is aimed at the Swiss/German market — fluent German is required, alongside a working level of English.
Compensation & Benefits
Tesla did not publish a specific salary figure for this role at the time of writing. Compensation is typically discussed directly with candidates during the interview process and will depend on experience and location. Tesla’s standard European benefits generally include a mix of stock-based reward (RSUs or an employee stock purchase option), structured training, and site-specific benefits. Always confirm the exact package for this role directly with Tesla during the application process.
Our Take
It’s a role built around real, day-to-day ownership rather than a narrow, single-task job description — expect variety and a fair amount of independent judgment.
EU Job Hub Guidance: Account Manager role in Bern
An account manager looks after existing customers and grows the relationship with them. In a sales setting this can mean handling business or fleet clients, answering questions and finding new needs. Employers value trust, planning and follow-through. A good application includes figures, such as the number of accounts you managed and how you kept them. If you worked in a B2B role, explain how you handled long sales cycles.
Application and interview checklist
Prepare one story about winning back an unhappy client.
Think about how you would rank accounts by value and risk.
Be ready to talk about your German and English level, and French if you have it.
Ask how many accounts one manager handles.
Ask which tools the team uses to track customers.
Before you move or commute
Bern is the Swiss capital and a city of the German-speaking region. Many public transport options connect it to other cities. Swiss job applications often include a CV, a cover letter and copies of certificates and references. Check whether the employer wants a photo, because customs vary. Ask about notice periods and working hours early in the process.
