Job description

West Netherlands | Food, Retail, FMCG & Consumer Goods

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for a commercially driven person who enjoys developing relationships, opening doors and turning opportunities into business.

Help build a new flagship food logistics operation

A major European logistics organisation is investing significantly in a new flagship Food Logistics operation in the West Netherlands.

The facility provides substantial new warehousing and distribution capacity and is an important part of the company's wider growth strategy in the Dutch food logistics market.

This is therefore not a typical Account Manager role within an established operation.

The commercial priority is clear: bring customers into the new facility, build utilisation quickly and develop long-term partnerships across food, retail, FMCG and consumer goods.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to join at an early stage, help shape the customer portfolio and see the direct impact of the business you win.

The Role

As Account Manager – Food Logistics, you will develop new customer relationships while growing and managing existing accounts.

You will work with manufacturers, retailers, food producers and FMCG businesses to understand their supply-chain requirements and develop solutions incorporating:

• Transport and European distribution
• Warehousing
• Food logistics
• Contract logistics
• Value-added logistics services

A major focus will be identifying businesses that can utilise the new warehousing and logistics capacity and converting those opportunities into sustainable, profitable partnerships.

You will:

• Identify and win new customers across food, retail, FMCG, CPG and consumer goods
• Build a strong commercial pipeline for the new operation
• Drive utilisation of the site's warehousing and distribution capacity
• Develop relationships with decision-makers across logistics, supply chain, procurement and commercial functions
• Grow existing customers by identifying additional transport and warehousing opportunities
• Develop tailored logistics solutions alongside operational colleagues
• Negotiate commercial agreements and build long-term partnerships
• Manage opportunities from first contact through proposal, negotiation and implementation
• Play a visible role in the growth of the organisation's Food Logistics activities in the Netherlands
