Job description

Buzz is the fastest-growing power bank sharing company in Europe, helping thousands of people to stay charged.

We are a startup with vibrant energy and freedom of action, where everyone feels part of a fast-growing international project. The team is united by trust, speed, creativity, and a sense of real impact – you can literally see your ideas becoming part of the city and bringing value to people.

About the Role (Sales & Account Impact)

We’re looking for an energetic, action-oriented professional with a hunter mindset who enjoys sales but also understands the value of long-term relationships and clean processes.

This is a hybrid B2B role combining sales, business development, and account management in the HoReCa & Entertainment segment: cafés, restaurants, bars, clubs, and venues where Buzz stations live and grow.

Your mission:

Bring new partners into the Buzz network, activate them successfully, and help existing locations grow further.

What You Will Do

• Prospect new venues: calls, messages, visits, and meetings with owners and managers
• Qualify leads and move them through the funnel — from first contact to signed location
• Support door-to-door and on-site meetings together with senior sales colleagues

Partner Acquisition & Activation

• Represent Buzz on the ground: explain the product, value proposition, and placement logic
• Help potential partners understand how Buzz improves guest experience and generates extra revenue
• Build relationships with venue owners and managers to secure new partnerships
• Support new partner onboarding and ensure successful activation of locations

Account & Pipeline Operations

• Stay in touch with existing partners to drive upgrades, reorders, and referrals
• Keep CRM clean and structured: log calls, update deal stages, track follow-ups
• Support weekly pipeline updates and basic reporting

What to Expect

• Daily action: calls, WhatsApp, emails, and in-person visits
• Clear sales playbooks, training, and coaching from day one
• Measurable KPIs: meetings booked, active pipeline, partner activation
• Real ownership — your work directly turns into live locations

You Are

• Proactive, confident, and comfortable taking initiative
• A natural communicator with a hunter mindset — you like opening doors and moving things forward
• Have a growth mindset and positive energy, always open to knowledge and new learning experiences
• Fluent in English is a must; conversational Dutch or fluency in multiple languages is a strong plus
• Organised and reliable (you follow up, keep notes, and close loops)
• Sales or horeca experience is welcome, but not required
• Students enrolled at a university and eligible for an internship are welcome

We Offer

• Full training, scripts, and tools from day one
• Fair compensation and a modern office in the centre of Amsterdam
• Close work with experienced sales professionals
• Fast responsibility and steep learning curve
• Clear growth path to Sales Executive based on performance
• A young, ambitious team and a product that genuinely sells itself
