Job description

Commercially strong, curious about AI and eager to really help build a company?

We are not looking for a classic salesperson. Nor for an AI specialist who wants to sit behind a screen all day.

We are looking for someone who can connect customers, business and technology. Someone who spots commercial opportunities, builds relationships and at the same time gets excited about the question: “How can we organise this in a smarter, faster or better way?”

What will you do?

Sales & Business Development is the core of your role.

You actively look for new customers and new timber flows, further develop existing customer relationships and follow up on quotations, pricing and commercial opportunities from A to Z. You get plenty of room to take initiative yourself and to develop new market opportunities.
But it does not stop there. AI & digitalisation: from idea to practice. We want to integrate AI and automation ever further into our organisation. Not innovation for the sake of innovation, but solutions that make our daily work concretely better. Together with management, you get the space to research, develop and implement applications around, among other things:

You definitely do not have to be an AI expert today.

What we do expect is that you are genuinely interested in AI, technology and automation and that you enjoy experimenting with new possibilities. We give you the space and the means to develop yourself further in this area. Understanding how the business really works: you will also get to know our logistics operation thoroughly.

Why?

Because good commercial agreements only have value if they are also executed well operationally. You gain insight into the entire flow and get to know our logistics planning well enough to contribute where needed or to take over temporarily.

Who are we looking for?

Someone who:

• thinks commercially and entrepreneurially;
• is strong in B2B sales and relationship management;
• sees opportunities and actually goes after them;
• has an analytical and digital mindset;
• gets enthusiastic about AI and automation;
• likes to be given responsibility and autonomy;
• works hands-on and result-oriented;
• is willing to get to know our logistics operation thoroughly;
• communicates fluently in Dutch, French and English.

So you do not have to tick every box perfectly already.

Commercial drive, curiosity and the willingness to learn matter more to us than a CV full of technical terms.

What can you expect from us?

A broad key role within a growing family business in which you combine sales, AI/digitalisation and logistics.
You get:

• a lot of autonomy and responsibility;
• direct contact with management;
• room to develop your own ideas;
• the chance to actually put new technology into practice;
• a role that can grow along with your strengths and ambitions.

This is a role for someone who is not just looking for a job, but who wants to help build.

Do you get energy from winning customers and from discovering what AI can mean for a company?

Then we would love to meet you.
