Job description

Our client is the undisputed global leader in the semiconductor industry. Their technology powers the world—from the smartphone in your pocket and the car on your drive to the data centers driving the future of AI.

As they continue to expand their European footprint, we are seeking a visionary Account Director to lead strategic growth and own high-level partnerships from their vibrant, multicultural hub in Amsterdam.

The Role: Strategic Ownership & Executive Impact

Reporting directly to the President of the European Office, you will be far more than a manager; you will be the architect of your account portfolio’s success. You will bridge the gap between cutting-edge physics and global business strategy.

  • Strategic Leadership: Develop and execute long-term strategies to grow market share and secure high-stakes "new designs."
  • Operational Excellence: Take full ownership of business operations, ensuring internal alignment to secure the capacity your clients need to change the world.
  • Relationship Mastery: Navigate complex, multi-million dollar negotiations and build "win-win" partnerships at the highest executive levels.
  • Global Connectivity: Collaborate with a diverse team in Amsterdam and maintain vital links with HQ in Asia and clients across the US and Europe.
Who You Are

You are a seasoned commercial leader with a rare blend of technical depth and executive presence. You don't just follow roadmaps—you help create them.

  • Technical Foundation: A Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering or Physics is essential. An MBA is the "cherry on top."
  • Proven Track Record: At least 15 years of commercial experience within the semiconductor field. Experience in the Automotive or Data Center sectors will give you a significant edge.
  • The "Global Mindset": You thrive in intercultural environments, specifically bridging European and Asian business cultures.
  • Driven & Disciplined: You are ambitious, eager to learn, and possess the organizational rigor required to manage a global portfolio.
  • Willing to Travel: You enjoy the energy of face-to-face collaboration, with regular travel to customer sites and the global HQ.
What’s in it for You?

This is a rare opportunity to work at the pinnacle of the tech industry, directly influencing the future of global electronics.

  • Competitive Reward: A premium salary and bonus package reflecting your seniority.
  • Full Support: Comprehensive secondary benefits and a professional relocation package if moving to the Amsterdam area.
  • Influence: A seat close to regional management where your decisions have an immediate impact on the semiconductor landscape.
How to Apply

If you have the technical expertise and the commercial drive to lead at the highest level, we want to hear from you.
