Vacancy

Retail Account Manager

What will you do?

As a Retail Account Manager, you are responsible for selling table potatoes and potato products to Dutch retail customers. You build lasting customer relationships, identify commercial opportunities in the market, and know how to translate these into concrete results. In this role, you’ll serve as a full-fledged partner to your clients. You’ll contribute ideas on product assortments, promotions, volumes, and market trends, and you’ll have a direct impact on the continued growth of the retail division. You won’t be selling an anonymous bulk product, but rather potatoes for which you know the entire supply chain: from cultivation to the store shelf. You’ll be based at our location in Biddinghuizen and will have daily contact with clients. In addition, you’ll spend an average of one day per week on the road visiting clients. You’ll be part of a sales team of five colleagues and will work closely with the other retail account manager, who will guide you through the onboarding process. Together with colleagues from Sales, Inside Sales, Purchasing, and Export, you’ll be given plenty of autonomy and responsibility to further develop your accounts. Your responsibilities will include, among other things:

  • Managing and further expanding retail accounts in the Netherlands and internationally;
  • Conducting annual reviews and maintaining daily contact with retail customers;
  • Providing advice on product lines, promotions, sales volumes, and market trends;
  • Analyzing customer data, sales figures, and business opportunities;
  • Identifying growth opportunities within a competitive retail market.

What do we offer?

  • A gross monthly salary ranging from €3,461.47 to €4,302.13 based on full-time employment (40 hours);
  • Pension accrual, flexible spending account, bicycle allowance, 8% vacation pay, 5 weeks of vacation per year (based on a full-time contract);
  • A position for 32 to 40 hours per week;
  • The option to work from home one day a week;
  • A good induction program with personal guidance;
  • Plenty of opportunity to further expand your retail market and contribute to Schaap Holland’s ambitious growth plans.

Who are we looking for?

  • At least 2 years of experience in account management, category management, or a commercial role in the food or retail industry;
  • Strong analytical skills and experience with Excel. Experience with ERP and market research software such as Nielsen is a plus;
  • A commercial, proactive mindset and the ability to build lasting customer relationships;
  • Good communication skills and a passion for daily customer interaction.
