Job description

Overview

For more than 30 years, DO IT Organic has been active in the Nordic region. As demand for organic food ingredients continues to grow, we see significant opportunities to further strengthen our position in this region and expand the reach of the plant based agenda. We are looking for an entrepreneurial Key Account Manager who wants to make a real impact and help shape the future of organic food demand in the Nordics.

In this role, your main focus will be Sweden. You will play an active role in expanding the use of organic food ingredients across the food industry and various sales segments by cultivating ongoing and new partnerships with food manufacturers, packers and wholesalers, and by identifying new sales segments and product opportunities.

What will you be doing?

Your primary focus will be on the Swedish food industry, though you may also work with customers in Norway and Finland. You will be part of an international, flexible and entrepreneurial working environment, closely connected to our Nordic regional office in Copenhagen and our Dutch headquarters in Barneveld.

As Account Manager, your responsibilities include:

• Developing and expanding ongoing and new customer relationships within the Nordic food industry.
• Providing solutions and opportunities that enable the success and growth of your customers.
• Identifying and converting new business opportunities to real commercial solutions.
• Managing the complete sales process, from initial contact to release of goods.
• Negotiating prices, contracts and commercial agreements.
• Working closely with Category Managers and the Quality team to provide customers with the best information and solutions.
• Representing DO IT Organic in the Nordic market through customer meetings, trade fairs and other B2B related activities.
• Screening market channels for opportunities through websites, store visits, network building and other pro-active steps.

Success in this role is measured both quantitatively and qualitatively. You will work with a budget, turnover target and margin target. Equally important is the ability to improve the quality of communication, relationship building, the customer onboarding process and the way we are represented in the market as a professional supplier.

You will report to the Nordic Team Lead, based in Copenhagen, who will support your professional development, product knowledge, pricing insights, customer planning and execution, training and mentorship.

What will you bring?

• Full-time availability (40 hours per week).
• Experience within the food industry.
• Fluency in Swedish and English.
• A commercial, proactive and entrepreneurial mindset with the drive to develop new business opportunities.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• A genuine interest in sustainability and organic food.
• Based in Sweden (preferred), Denmark or Norway.
• Willingness to travel regularly within the Nordics and to our Nordic office in Copenhagen and our headquarters in The Netherlands.

What do we offer?

Whether you live in Sweden or in another Nordic country: at DO IT Organic, we ensure that your employment conditions are well arranged and aligned to national working labour standards. We tailor matters such as vacation days and pension scheme to the local laws and regulations of your country of residence. During the application process, we are happy to discuss what this means for your situation, so you know exactly where you stand and what your career ambitions are.
