Job Description

Our customer in the Netherlands builds software for trading companies, bringing product data, GS1, supply chain processes and B2B sales together in one platform.

The product is competitively priced and wins on both cost and functionality against what is currently available in the market. The target account lists are ready. Now we are looking for someone who knows how to turn those lists into meetings, opportunities and closed deals.

## The role

You will be responsible for new business sales. No account management. No waiting for inbound leads. You build, manage and convert your own pipeline.

You will not start from scratch. There are already clear target lists of companies where the proposition solves a direct and urgent problem. Your job is to turn those accounts into conversations, demos and customers through smart outreach, phone work, your network and modern sales tooling.

We expect you to sell in a modern way. That means using AI for prospect research, enriching account lists, personalising outreach and focusing your time on the accounts with the highest potential. If your approach is still based on generic mass outreach, this is not the right role.

You will not be doing this alone. Behind you is an experienced team of consultants and developers who make every demo, diagnosis and implementation work. You open the door and close the deal. They help prove the value.

## What you will sell

You will sell product software with a clear and relevant story: fewer disconnected tools, lower costs and readiness for the new EU product data requirements coming into force in 2026.

The proposition is easy to compare with existing solutions, and that comparison works in our favour. You will be selling concrete deals, fixed pricing and recurring revenue.

Requirements

# Who we are looking for

We are looking for someone who brings:

  • 2 to 5 years of experience in B2B sales, preferably in software or SaaS
  • A proven new business track record, with examples of deals you personally sourced and closed
  • Strong skills with AI and sales tooling, including list building, prospect research, automation and personalised outreach at scale
  • A network you actively use, and the drive to grow it every week
  • Energy for cold acquisition, because you enjoy turning a strong call list into booked meetings
  • Fluent Dutch and strong English

Benefits

## What you will get

  • A product with momentum and ready to use target lists, so you can start creating opportunities from day one
  • A strong base salary plus a variable compensation model focused on new business performance
  • Real growth potential, as this role can grow with the unit, from first dedicated sales hire to commercial lead
  • Laptop, phone and mobility allowance
  • An experienced team behind you and a product that proves itself in demos

Send your CV together with a short note explaining why this role fits you and what kind of new business results you have delivered before.
