• Strong technical understanding and the ability to explain complex concepts clearly.
• Commercial instincts, including negotiation and opportunity development.
• Confident communication and presentation skills.
• A track record of building long-term customer relationships.
• Analytical thinking paired with strong problem-solving skills.
• Comfortable working with CRM tools and Microsoft Office.
• Fluent in English, plus Dutch or French (either language is great - much of the work will take place in Belgium).
• Already based in the Benelux region, holding an EU passport or valid work permit.
