Job description

On the table isn’t just another product—it’s an idea. A concept. A new opportunity.

As an International Account Manager at HVEG Group, you’ll help retailers across Europe develop successful private label collections in accessories and eyewear. This is a commercial role for someone who enjoys building relationships, spotting opportunities and turning customer needs into products that stand out on the shelf.

You’re driven by results, enjoy winning new business and aren’t afraid to pick up the phone or travel to meet customers. Rather than simply selling products, you’ll develop tailor‑made concepts—from the very first idea to the final product.

Ready for the next step in your international sales career? We’d love to meet you.

What will you do?

Every day starts with preparation. Whether you’re visiting an existing customer or meeting a potential new client, you know their business, understand their market and arrive with ideas rather than a standard sales pitch.

That’s what makes this role different. You won’t simply sell products—you’ll develop complete private label concepts that help retailers strengthen their assortment.

Working with customers across Europe, you’ll advise on everything from product selection and packaging to colours, trends and shelf presentation. You’ll combine commercial thinking with creativity to develop concepts that match both the retailer’s strategy and consumer demand.

Behind the scenes, you’ll work closely with colleagues from Styling, Merchandise and Buying to bring these concepts to life. Together, you’ll translate customer ideas into products that meet both commercial objectives and quality standards.

You’ll take ownership of your accounts, manage your own budget and remain involved after the sale to ensure every project is delivered successfully. At the same time, you’ll actively build your customer portfolio by identifying new business opportunities and expanding existing relationships.

In this role, you will:

• Manage and grow an international portfolio of retail accounts.
• Develop private label concepts together with your customers.
• Work closely with Styling, Merchandise and Buying throughout the development process.
• Manage budgets, sales targets and commercial performance.
• Identify new business opportunities and generate new customers through proactive sales and business development.
• Monitor project progress and product quality from concept through to delivery.
• Build long‑term customer relationships across the European retail market.

The best part? You’ll have the freedom to build your own customer portfolio while working with experienced colleagues who help turn ideas into successful private label collections.

What do we offer?

At HVEG Group, you’ll have the opportunity to build your own business within an international organisation. You’ll enjoy the freedom to take ownership of your accounts while working alongside experienced colleagues in Design, Buying and Merchandise to deliver successful concepts for retailers across Europe.

In return, we offer:

• A salary of up to €5,000 gross per month (based on a 40-hour workweek), depending on your knowledge and experience.
• An attractive bonus scheme of up to two months’ salary, based on your performance.
• A company lease car to visit customers across Europe.
• A flexible contract of 32 to 40 hours per week.
• Flexible working hours and the opportunity to work partly from home.
• 8% holiday allowance, 25 vacation days and 3 additional HVEG days.
• Plenty of opportunities for personal development through the HVEG Academy.
• Access to OpenUp for mental wellbeing, coaching and personal development.
• A monthly chair massage at the office.
• A company contribution towards your gym membership through our corporate fitness programme.
• Discounts on your health insurance through our collective healthcare plan.
• Access to Bril van de Zaak, offering a contribution towards prescription glasses.
• Staff discounts on HVEG brands.
• The opportunity to work with international retailers and travel across Europe.

What do you bring?

• Around 3 to 4 years of experience in an international commercial sales role.
• Fluent English. German is a strong advantage.
• Experience in eyewear, private label, supermarkets or discount retail is a plus.
• The ability to think in concepts and customer solutions rather than individual products.
• A proactive mindset with a strong sense of ownership.
• A commercial drive and the confidence to generate new business.
• Excellent relationship-building and communication skills.
• A willingness to travel regularly across Europe.
