• Being flexible to travel nationally (including overnight stays when needed)

The person

• Degree (or equivalent experience) – business, marketing, or technical fields a bonus
• Placement year or work experience in service, equipment, or FMCG industry is advantageous
• Experience in customer-facing roles, project coordination, or field-based service is desirable but not essential
• Previous experience in account management, national accounts or sales
