Job description

Are you looking for your next professional challenge, and ready to take your sales career to the next level?

Our client, Yogurt Kitchen, is looking for a talented Account Manager Belgium and Luxembourg (m/f) to strengthen its commercial team and accelerate growth across the Belux market.

Yogurt Kitchen in a nutshell

The ambition: to develop the yogurt of tomorrow.

Yogurt Kitchen reinvents healthy food, and yogurt in particular, for hotels, corporate restaurants, healthy fast-food chains, espresso bars, and more. The company produces top-quality yogurt in a modern, bright workshop in the heart of Brussels.

Since 2021, this start-up has offered its clients truly innovative and creative zero-waste yogurt concepts. The yogurt is artisanal and natural, and served through an aesthetic, minimalist-design dispenser. With a range of expressive toppings, Yogurt Kitchen adds creativity and appeal to the out-of-home yogurt experience.

Their goal?

To become the reference for quality yogurt and operate a local production site in every European country.

Yogurt Kitchen is driven by product and customer obsession, aiming to create a seamless and desirable yogurt experience.

Your role

Your mission is to generate recurring revenue by acquiring new clients, mainly 4-star and above hotels, corporate catering clients (company restaurants) and premium hospitality venues in Belgium and Luxembourg, and to retain them through an outstanding service.

The goal is to grow the client portfolio quickly and sustainably, by building strong relationships with staff and decision-makers at client venues, and by delivering a five-star service based on quality, care, trust and excellence.
