WHAT IS AXIS?

With over 5,000 employees in 50+ countries, we create cutting-edge security and surveillance solutions that make the world smarter and safer. At Axis, creativity and independent thinking thrive in a multicultural, open-minded workplace, where passionate people come together to innovate for a smarter, safer world.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

As an Account Manager, you take ownership of a select group of promising channel partners and help them grow with Axis. You move from waiting for business to going out and creating it. You work independently, spend most of your time in the field, and turn new-business opportunities into lasting partnerships.

Grow your partners.

You manage a portfolio of promising partners.

You build clear business plans to help them grow from mid-size partners into top performers.

Be in the field.

You spend most of your time with partners.

You run site surveys, joint meetings, seminars and on-site trainings to build their knowledge and confidence.

Find new opportunities.

You follow up on qualified leads from our Benelux sales development team.

You also spot "white spots" in the market.

Stay organised.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

You are an energetic relationship builder with a hunter's mindset. You are hands-on, you enjoy being out with partners, and you are motivated by growing business. You explain solutions clearly, listen first, and keep your plans and CRM tidy.

We would love to hear from you if you have/are:

• A team-player attitude
• Willingness to travel across the Netherlands
• The ambition and potential to grow into a Key Account Manager role

Don't tick every box? We'd still love to hear from you. We hire for potential and passion as much as for experience.

This role is based in the Netherlands, with a mix of office, hybrid and field work. You will spend most of your time visiting partners across your territory.

WHAT CAN AXIS OFFER?

At Axis, you will be working within an international organisation surrounded by enthusiastic people in an open-minded and innovative culture. We are growing rapidly, which means new challenges and opportunities to grow personally and professionally happen every day.
