If you’re ready to take on a rewarding challenge and work with a global leader in modern poultry housing equipment, we want you on our team!

About VDL Jansen

VDL Jansen has been a leader in the poultry industry for 40 years, providing innovative housing equipment both for commercial layers and breeders. Our state-of-the-art cage free systems and community nest systems are increasingly becoming across the US a well-accepted concept to the poultry industry. After years of growth and success, we’re ready to take things to the next level and further expand our presence and market share in the US poultry industry.

This is your chance to be part of this journey. In close co-operation with our VDL Jansen team you will be in the frontlines to achieve our ambitions, helping the egg producers to build profitable and sustainable cage free egg producing farms.

What You’ll Do

As National Sales Manager, you’ll be responsible for growing VDL Jansen’s presence in the U.S. market.

• Developing and executing strategies to expand VDL Jansen’s customer base and market share across the U.S.
• Cultivating strong relationships with existing dealers and clients and seeking out new business opportunities.
• Leading in-person negotiations, closing significant deals, and securing long-term partnerships.
• Offering expert guidance on specifications, pricing, and terms for projects and installations.
• Overseeing the successful delivery of projects and ensuring exceptional customer service every step of the way.

This role requires someone who excels at high-stakes negotiations, understands capital goods sales, and is passionate about providing innovative solutions. Your work will directly impact VDL Jansen’s growth in the U.S. and set the stage for success in the years ahead.

Who are we looking for?

You! We’re looking for an experienced sales leader who’s as excited about our mission as we are. If you’re the right fit, you’ll bring the following:

• A Bachelor’s or advanced degree in commerce, agriculture, business, or a related technical field.
• At least 10 years of sales experience, ideally in capital goods or international markets.
• A love for travel, as this role involves frequent trips to meet with clients across the U.S.
• Strong negotiation skills and the ability to close major deals.
• In-depth understanding of the poultry industry and its unique challenges.
• You are legally authorized to work in the U.S.

What We Offer

• A competitive base salary with a generous bonus structure.
• The opportunity to work for a global leader in poultry technology with a supportive and dynamic team.
• An exciting, hands-on role with plenty of opportunities for personal and professional growth.
• Comprehensive benefits, along with a salary package that reflects your expertise and commitment.
