Job description

Grow Network4Cars' presence in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, combining hands-on outbound sales with e-commerce and B2B marketing.

Nieuw-Vennep, NL 32-40 hours / week DACH region Automotive wholesale

About Network4Cars

For 25 years, Network4Cars has been a trusted name in the European automotive trade, specializing in new and young used cars. Our core business consists of supplying new cars and LCVs to retailers, dealerships, leasing companies and rental companies all throughout Europe.

We have an extensive network in both the procurement and sales of new vehicles. We add value to the chain by connecting the dots like no other. We're a solid, professional organization with a proven track record and a constant drive to get better. The automotive market is always in motion, and we love staying ahead of the curve.

The role

Germany and the wider DACH region are markets where we already have a solid customer base, and we see plenty of room for further growth. As our Account Developer, you'll combine three things: growing our e-commerce and B2B presence in the German-speaking markets, executing our AI-driven marketing strategy, and getting on the phone to turn leads into long-term trading partners.

You'll follow up by phone on introduction offers we've sent to German-speaking dealers, traders, and rental/leasing companies. Each of these three groups has a different stake in what we offer, which makes for a more substantive conversation than standard cold calling. Working within our follow-up structure, you'll uncover their needs, pitch the Network4Cars story, handle objections, and gauge real interest.

You'll feed what you're hearing from the DACH market back to the team: which brands are moving and which objections keep coming up.

You'll work closely with our senior sales colleagues: you're responsible for the first contact and introduction of Network4Cars to new leads, and you qualify them before handing them over to the senior salesperson. There's a clear path to grow from this role into a sales position as you build experience.

This is a role for someone who enjoys the commercial hunt, someone who's on the phone all day, comfortable making the 30th call just as much as the 1st, and driven by turning conversations into long-term trading relationships.

What you'll do

• Actively call (cold) leads in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland to introduce Network4Cars and build new trading relationships.
• Identify the vehicle needs of dealers and traders and offer stock that matches, turning first contact into repeat business.
• Develop and extend our e-commerce and B2B marketing activities in the German-speaking markets (campaigns, mailings, platform presence).
• Follow up on inbound leads from our website and marketing channels quickly and professionally.
• Prepare and send external marketing communications to customers and prospects.
• Keep the CRM accurate and up to date: log calls, contacts, needs, and follow-ups.
• Track market trends, pricing movements, and competitor activity to spot new business opportunities.
• Work closely with our senior sales colleagues: you make the first contact and introduce Network4Cars to new leads, then qualify them before handing over to the senior salesperson.
• Assist the wider team with database building and lead mapping for other international markets as needed.

Who you are

• Fluent in German and proficient in English. Dutch and/or French is a plus.
• MBO+ / HBO (or equivalent), preferably in a commercial, marketing, or economic direction. Affinity with AI developments is a plus.
• Energized by outbound sales: you pick up the phone with confidence and don't mind hearing "no" before you get to "yes."
• Commercially curious, with a feel for (digital) marketing and how it generates leads.
• Structured and disciplined in follow-up; you know a good CRM entry today is a deal tomorrow.
• Affinity with cars and the automotive trade is a strong plus.
• Proactive, results-driven, and a team player.
• Available 32-40 hours per week, living near Nieuw-Vennep or willing to commute.

What we offer

• A key role in the further development of our sales, marketing and AI strategy.
• Close collaboration with experienced traders and marketing colleagues who will help you sharpen your skills.
• Room to shape the role: your ideas for campaigns and market approach are welcome.
• A clear path to grow into a sales role as you build experience and results.
• A modern, light-filled office within walking distance of Nieuw-Vennep station.
• Competitive salary + attractive performance-based bonuses.
• An international team with an energetic, "never a dull moment" atmosphere.
• Office perks: pool table, team drinks, and fun company outings.
