Description

About the jobeCarsTrade is one of Europe's fastest-growing B2B online used-car auction platforms — 18,000+ vehicles listed weekly, 20,000+ active dealers, and 45% year-on-year growth.
As part of our commercial organisation, we're hiring a Team Lead – Key Account Management for Northern Africa to lead the region's commercial growth, manage and develop a portfolio of key dealers, and coach a team of Key Account Managers to achieve ambitious sales targets.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You're not managing from the sidelines — you lead by example. You own the growth of sales in your area, maintain and grow your own key-account portfolio, and set the standard for your team in strategy, sales execution, customer management, and behaviour.
About the RoleAs Team Lead, you are the commercial role model for Northern Africa.
You will be responsible for the growth of the region, combining strong market knowledge with a clear strategic plan for key accounts and the wider team. You'll understand where the opportunities are, know how to turn them into sales, and make sure the team has the focus, energy, and support to execute.
At the same time, you'll continue to manage your own portfolio of key accounts — driving bids, negotiating, onboarding high-value dealers, and developing long-term relationships.
Your role is to lead from the front: demonstrate what excellent sales looks like, coach your team through their daily challenges, remove obstacles, and create an environment where people are motivated to grow their numbers.
