As Strategic Account & Growth Manager Netherlands, you are responsible for driving commercial performance and unlocking growth within a portfolio of key national accounts. While the role includes strategic ownership, the primary focus is on accelerating revenue, outperforming targets, and creating tangible commercial impact.
This is not a traditional account management role focused on maintaining relationships. Instead, it is a commercially driven position at the intersection of strategy and execution, where you actively push the business forward, identify growth levers, and translate strategy into measurable results.
You operate at head-office level within an international matrix organization and act as a key driver of performance across both B2B and B2C segments (approximately 50/50).
Key responsibilities
- Drive sales growth, profitability, and KPI performance within key national accounts
- Identify and unlock new commercial opportunities within existing customer relationships
- Develop and execute data-driven account and growth strategies
- Take ownership of volumes, targets, pricing, and commercial negotiations at HQ level
- Continuously monitor performance and steer based on data, insights, and market developments
- Collaborate closely with marketing, sales, and supply chain teams to maximize commercial impact
- Challenge and align internal stakeholders (including field sales) to ensure strong execution
- Operate effectively within an international matrix and align with European stakeholders
You are not a traditional relationship-focused account manager, but someone who actively drives sales, challenges opportunities, and delivers against targets. You thrive in an environment where performance is measured and where you can make a visible impact.
This role is ideally suited for a high-potential profile: someone with strong capabilities, a solid educational foundation, and the ambition to grow into broader commercial leadership roles within an international organization.
