Account Manager – Benelux & DACH

We’re looking for an Account Manager to focus on the Benelux and DACH regions for a food ingredients producer that has some really innovative products to offer. This position is focused on the dairy category.

What’s in it for you? You’ll be joining a high-performing team in which you’ll be able to offer your customers some unique solutions, due to the massive amount of money that the company puts straight back into its R&D department. The business is award-winning and has experienced very impressive growth over the past few years. With that growth set to continue, there are excellent opportunities to progress your career here, so this will suit someone who is ambitious and wants to take their career to the next level. This is a highly autonomous position, where you’ll work remotely and be trusted to make key commercial decisions when it comes to your high profile customer base.

We’re looking for someone who is fluent in German for this position, as many customer meetings will be conducted in German. Internally, English is the main language of the business so a strong grasp of English is also necessary. We’d like to see a Food Science degree or similar qualification, along with an appreciation of R&D applications. Then, at least 2 years in a Technical Sales or Account Manager position within non-commodity food ingredients is mandatory, although exposure to the dairy sector would be highly advantageous, as would some international sales experience.

Naturally, you will need a driving licence and be willing to spend nights away from home when needed.
