Who we are

At Certis Belchim, we are on a journey to transform the crop protection landscape. Our goal is to offer integrated programmes that combine biorational and chemical products in order to address the challenges of sustainable crop production and meet the requirements of the value chain.

And, of course, we are always looking for talented people with a pragmatic approach who can help us make a positive impact on our industry and beyond.

About your team

As a Sales Advisor, you will work within a young and motivated sales team in the Northeast region (10 FTE) and report directly to the Northeast Sales Team Leader. Direct and fast communication, as well as a highly collaborative and supportive environment, define our team. Following your onboarding period, you will independently manage your customers*. Direct communication with Marketing and Technical Advisory colleagues will support and facilitate your work.

How you will make difference

You are not just a salesperson – you are the ambassador of Certis Belchim in your region. In addition to building your own network, you will work together with colleagues from your team and other departments to develop solutions to your customers’ challenges. In line with our motto, “Growing Together”, you will help your customers grow and succeed.

• Make use of your internal network by collaborating with colleagues in the countries you work with – they can provide valuable local insights.
• You are sales‑oriented and provide support to distributors in your region.
• A respectful and appreciative working environment complements your role.
• We set clear goals, review them regularly and provide the support you need to achieve them successfully.
• Experienced and highly competent colleagues are available every day to support you, particularly during your onboarding period.

Your responsabilities

As a member of the Sales and Advisory Team, your responsibilities include:

• Conducting advisory and sales discussions and providing intensive support to farming businesses through sound agronomic knowledge of relevant crops.
• Acting as the first point of contact for Certis Belchim in your region with a customer‑focused and proactive approach.
• Organising field visits and winter events to increase your visibility and strengthen your presence within the region.
• Using modern communication tools as an integral part of your daily work.
• Thinking beyond conventional approaches, differentiating yourself within your region and making a genuine impact.

• You enjoy being out in the field and providing professional advice on crop protection.
• You are communicative and enjoy offering solutions to arable farming challenges.

• You are a team player who actively supports the exchange of information with colleagues.
• You are familiar with the regional environment and enjoy deepening your knowledge and experience within it.

What working with us means

• A varied role in a dynamic and international environment. We actively encourage and support regular contact with colleagues and reimburse travel expenses. A company car is also provided.
• A competitive market‑based salary, together with a performance‑related bonus in addition to your annual gross salary.
• A culture in which your work is valued by your colleagues and where you receive a high level of recognition.
• A culture that encourages you to grow within your role and develop further within the company.
• Access to our Learning Academy and regular feedback discussions.
• A commitment to achieving an optimal work‑life balance through flexible working hours.
• An understanding that success is not determined by numbers alone – it is people who make the difference.
