About FitForMe

Since 2005, FitForMe has developed science-based nutrition for people undergoing medical weight loss. What started with vitamins for bariatric patients has grown into a range used by 750,000 consumers, supported by a network of 8,000 healthcare professionals and backed by 19 peer-reviewed publications.

Today, millions of Europeans use weight-loss medication such as GLP-1. They eat a lot less, which makes getting the right nutrients harder, and guidance on what they need is still limited. Our Beyond Bariatrics team brings FitForMe’s expertise to this fast-growing group.

The role

We are looking for a Business Development Manager to build our retail and pharmacy channel across the Netherlands, Germany, France and the UK, and ultimately the rest of Europe. You are the first person fully dedicated to this channel. You decide where we play and you close the deals that put our range (including Support-1, Clear Protein+ and Calcium Soft Chew) on drugstore and pharmacy shelves, in store and online. You work towards an ambitious revenue target and report to our Chief Growth Officer.

What you bring

• 7 to 10 years in B2B sales or key account management, selling into retail and/or pharmacy buyers
• Experience in consumer health, OTC, food supplements or medical nutrition
• A network and track record with drugstore, pharmacy or wholesale buyers in at least one of our core markets
• Strong negotiation skills and a commercial mind for margins, pricing and P&L
• The ability to turn scientific evidence into a compelling, compliant sales story
• Fluent English; Dutch strongly preferred; German and/or French a strong plus
• A builder’s mentality: you are energised by starting something new and keep going when a buyer says no
• A Bachelor’s degree at minimum

What we offer

• A greenfield role with a real mandate and direct access to the leadership team
• A fast-growing category and a science-backed range with more than 20 years of clinical credibility behind it
• A competitive fixed salary plus an uncapped variable component (~30%)
• Room to grow into a leadership role as the channel scalesBenefits: holiday allowance, pension, hybrid working, laptop, etc.
