New business & networking; You actively grow your network, open doors and introduce In2Event to organisations that have not yet discovered us.

Commercial focus; You proactively drive revenue growth and translate opportunities into clear actions, proposals and agreements.

At the same time, you keep a close eye on performance and progress, adjusting course when needed to ensure commercial opportunities are fully realised.

Pioneering mindset; You thrive in a hybrid working environment, enjoy pushing digital boundaries and use AI intelligently to uncover new commercial opportunities.

Building on a strong foundation, you develop your own markets, client base, network and commercial strategy, step by step.

Communication & collaboration; You communicate openly and naturally, listen carefully and ask questions that quickly get to the heart of the matter. You understand what clients need, contribute at both strategic and practical levels and build lasting relationships. You maintain a visible presence with clients and partners and at events, keeping you close to what is happening and where you can make a real difference.

• Effective communication skills in Dutch and English. German or another language is an advantage.
• A commercial mindset, strong people skills and an international outlook.
• The flexibility to attend client meetings, travel internationally and be present at events.
• A collaborative approach, combined with the independence to take ownership of your clients, markets, and results.
• An independent commercial role with plenty of freedom and a genuine opportunity to shape In2Event’s growth.

What’s in it for you?

• A salary that reflects your experience, plus an incentive scheme that allows you to share in the value you create.
• Flexible working hours and the freedom to work where you perform at your best.
• Extensive international contact, travel opportunities, and plenty of scope to explore new markets.
