Are you the type of commercial leader who sees opportunity before anyone else?

A market-leading logistics provider is looking for a Commercial Director Benelux to spearhead its next phase of growth across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. This is more than a sales leadership role. It's an opportunity to influence strategy, build high-performing teams, win major accounts, and leave a lasting mark on a business with ambitious growth plans.

You’ll take ownership of the Benelux commercial agenda, leading a talented sales and account management team while partnering with senior stakeholders across the business to unlock new opportunities and elevate customer relationships.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Develop and execute the commercial strategy across the Benelux region.
• Lead, coach, and inspire a team of Business Development Managers and Key Account Managers.
• Drive significant revenue growth through a combination of strategic account development and new business acquisition.
• Build trusted relationships with senior decision-makers across key industries including manufacturing, retail, FMCG, automotive, healthcare, and e-commerce.
• Identify new market opportunities and turn them into profitable business.
• Lead major commercial negotiations, tenders, and customer engagements.
• Work closely with operational leadership to deliver outstanding customer experiences and long-term partnerships.
• Act as a key member of the leadership team, helping shape the future direction of the Benelux business.

Who We’re Looking For

• A proven commercial leader from the logistics, freight forwarding, contract logistics, or supply chain sector.
• Someone with a strong network and reputation within the Benelux market.
• Demonstrated success in growing revenue, winning strategic accounts, and leading commercial teams.
• A natural relationship builder who is equally comfortable in the boardroom and in front of customers.
• Entrepreneurial, ambitious, and driven by results.
• Fluent in English. Dutch and/or French would be a strong advantage.

Why Join?

This organisation isn't looking for someone to maintain the status quo. They're looking for a leader who can challenge the market, inspire teams, and accelerate growth.

If you’re passionate about building winning commercial cultures, developing customer partnerships, and creating tangible business impact across the Benelux region, we’d love to hear from you.
