Account manager

Function

• As an Account Manager, you actively build a client portfolio in Walloon Brabant and Brussels, with contractors and construction professionals as your primary contacts.
• Through targeted prospecting, you identify new commercial opportunities with, amongst others, structural contractors, joint fillers, floor layers, renovation companies, plasterers and landscaping contractors.
• You guide clients from first contact through to concrete collaboration and translate their technical needs into suitable solutions from a broad product range.
• With a clear focus on results, you develop opportunities, negotiate partnerships and ensure that agreements are effectively realised.
• You independently manage your planning, diary, client communication and reporting, ensuring every prospect and client is followed up systematically.
• Collaboration with colleagues in Antwerp and the local operations in your region gives you access to technical and commercial support, whilst you yourself operate close to the market.
• As the commercial point of contact, you report directly to the Sales Director and are given the space to further develop your approach.

Profile

• A bachelor's degree, preferably in a technical or commercial field, provides a solid foundation for advising clients professionally.
• You communicate fluently in Dutch and French, enabling you to liaise clearly with clients and colleagues in Brussels and Walloon Brabant.
• Commercial interest, persuasiveness and initiative help you to convert prospecting into lasting client relationships.
• A technical affinity or interest in construction applications makes it easier to understand an extensive product range and to think proactively alongside clients.
• You work accurately and in a structured manner, whilst maintaining a genuine, optimistic and collaborative style; this combination is important for building trust and consistently following through.

Organisation

The organisation has been thoroughly renewed and further developed in recent years by a professional management team. Investment has been made in a modern production environment, specifically focused on high-quality products for the professional tradesperson.

In addition, considerable attention was paid to product development, with a broader range for areas including finishing, construction and renovation. Significant progress was also made in logistics and service, with a dedicated delivery organisation and several service points in Flanders where products are readily available.

Offer

• A competitive salary package in line with your experience, commercial responsibility and relevant qualifications.

• An independent role with Antwerp as a key working and collaboration location, combined with a working area covering Walloon Brabant and Brussels.
• A thorough induction at the start and practical training during your initial period, so that you get to know the product range, the market and the commercial approach well.
• Variety through prospecting, client visits, advice and relationship management, with the freedom to plan your own schedule and work organisation independently.
• Real opportunities for advancement as the region is further developed and your responsibility as a client manager grows.
