Are you a sales professional with an international perspective? Do you see opportunities in new markets, enjoy building lasting customer relationships, and get a thrill out of closing great deals? Then this position is for you!
About the Position
As an International Sales Manager, you are the driving force behind our international growth. You analyze markets, identify commercial opportunities, and know how to turn them into tangible results. You maintain existing customer relationships, build new ones, and ensure that the commercial strategy is successfully implemented.
You’ll work independently, but you won’t be on your own. You’ll collaborate closely with colleagues in sales and report directly to the commercial director.

- You translate market information into concrete commercial actions.
About the Company
You’ll be joining a close-knit family business where quality, teamwork, and continuous improvement are key priorities. The organization has about 85 employees who work together to ensure a smooth and efficient production process.
The organization specializes in processing high-quality raw materials into valuable ingredients for various market segments. To this end, the company collaborates with an extensive network of suppliers: 16 in the Netherlands and 8 international suppliers together ensure a stable and high-quality supply of raw materials.
With a strong focus on quality, innovation, and sustainability, the company has established a solid position both domestically and internationally. Circularity plays an important role in this: by using raw materials wisely, the company is working to create a future-proof food supply chain.
The work environment is both professional and informal, with short lines of communication, plenty of room for initiative, and a strong focus on collaboration. Together with an ambitious sales team, you’ll contribute to the organization’s continued international growth.
What We're Asking For
You are an enterprising sales professional who spots opportunities and knows how to turn them into results. You combine a business-minded approach with an analytical perspective and know how to build relationships at various levels.
In addition, you have:
- A completed associate's or bachelor's degree, for example in Business Economics, (Agricultural) Business Administration, or Food & Marketing.
- At least three years of international B2B sales experience in the food industry.
- An excellent command of the Dutch and English languages.
- Proficiency in an additional modern foreign language is a plus.
- A proactive attitude, commercial drive, and a strong sense of responsibility.

What We Offer
- A monthly salary between €5,000 and €7,500 gross on a full-time basis. (depending on age and experience)
- A job with a direct contract with the employer.
- A challenging international business role with a high degree of autonomy.
