Do you love the pace of retail, and are you the person who makes sure nothing slips through the cracks? As our Sales Support Assistant, you're the operational backbone behind our key retail accounts across Europe. You keep orders, product data, forecasts and promotions running smoothly, so our Key Account Managers can focus on growing the business.

What you'll do

You report to our Regional Sales Director and work closely with the Key Account Managers in the retail team. You'll support an international sales team covering the Netherlands, Belgium, the Nordics, Germany, France and beyond, so no two days are the same. Day to day, you'll also work with marketing, supply chain and finance.

Keep our key accounts running smoothly

• Prepare, check and process quotes, orders and contracts for our retail partners.
• Manage item and price data in our internal systems and retailer portals, so product information is always accurate and up to date.
• Keep track of deadlines and follow up on open actions with internal teams and customers.

Turn data into action

• Analyse sales and sell-out figures, and build clear reports for the sales team and management.
• Spot trends and opportunities in the data, and suggest concrete actions to the account team.
• Update our logistics forecasts and flag changes to supply chain on time, so shelves stay stocked.

Bring campaigns to life

• Support promotions and retail campaigns, from planning to execution, together with marketing and supply chain.
• Coordinate samples and materials for customers, trade fairs and sales presentations.

Make us better every day

• Help improve and simplify our sales processes as we scale.

What success looks like after 6 months: you know our key accounts and systems inside out, orders and product data run without errors, and the account team relies on your reports to make decisions.

• You’re comfortable with numbers and strong in Excel (pivot tables, lookups). Experience with ERP or CRM systems is a plus.
• You communicate clearly and warmly, by phone, email and in person.
• You speak and write Dutch and English fluently.
