Job description

Strategic Business Development Manager | Antwerp | €120k+ OTE

A rare opportunity to build and own growth across the Benelux for an international business with ambitious expansion plans.

This is far more than a traditional sales or KAM position. You’ll have the autonomy, visibility and commercial ownership to identify where the next wave of growth comes from - and then go out and win it.

You’ll open new markets, win major customers, grow strategic accounts and shape commercial strategy, working directly with senior leadership.

Think:

New Business + Strategic KAM + Market Expansion + Commercial Strategy

You’ll be trusted to:

• Build your own high-value pipeline and target-account strategy
• Develop long-term C-suite relationships and become a trusted commercial partner
• Turn whitespace within strategic accounts into significant new revenue
• Identify new sectors, markets and partnerships with genuine growth potential
• Lead complex, high-value tenders and negotiations
• MUST speak Dutch or French
• Build the foundations for future commercial leadership

We’re looking for an ambitious senior B2B commercial professional with 5+ years’ experience, a strong Benelux network and a proven record of winning and growing complex accounts.

Experience in logistics, maritime, supply chain, industrial services, ports or infrastructure is highly relevant.

Real progression into Commercial Director / Regional leadership

If you want your next role to be about creating growth, shaping strategy and building something bigger rather than simply managing existing revenue this could be it.
