Key Account Manager

*You have your first years of experience under your belt and you are hungry for more? Do you love food and want to help international brands win their place on the Belgian shelves? Do you enjoy digging into numbers and sitting across the table from a client or a buyer? Then keep reading.
* Who we are Green Seed Belgium is a small team of sales & marketing professionals specialized in the food and drink sector. We are part of the Green Seed Group, a network of privately held offices covering more than 20 countries. We help international food companies build their business in the Belgian and Luxembourg markets
- from market introduction and category management to day-to-day sales and key account management, with a focus on brands that are on-trend, innovative, or premium. The job As our Key Account Manager, you will take ownership of your own portfolio of clients: international food and drink brands that count on us to build their business in Belgium and Luxembourg. You will dive into NielsenIQ and sales data, turn it into category insights and recommendations clients can actually use, and present those recommendations to the retailers. You will grow existing accounts, help bring in new business, and become the person your clients call when they need a trusted partner. You won't be doing it alone: you will work side by side with experienced colleagues who are happy to share what they know and support. Half analyst, half relationship builder. Both halves matter equally.

What we offer
Room to grow. You will get actual responsibilities from the start, with colleagues who take the time to show you the ropes and a role that grows with you. No two days are the same: one moment you are deep in a category analysis, the next you are on a call with a client abroad, and every so often travelling to meet them in person. You will be working in a genuinely international environment: different markets, different cultures, different ways of doing business. You will join a small team where everyone relies on each other, where mutual respect and a good laugh go hand in hand. And yes, we keep the office stocked with snacks, any time of day. What you bring
•     Education. Minimum a bachelor’s degree in sales or management, with preference for a master’s degree.
•     A first few years of experience. You have 2 to 5 years of experience in a commercial or analytical role, ideally in FMCG or food. You know what it means to work with clients, targets and data, and you are ready to make the next step.
•     A head for figures. You are strong in Excel, you like to understand what the numbers are telling you, and you translate them into clear, practical recommendations
- not just pretty charts.
•     Commercial instinct. You enjoy talking to people, you are a good listener, and you know how to identify new opportunities. You want to own your client relationships from start to finish and learn how a brand wins its place on shelf.
•     A passion for food. You are curious about new products, new tastes, and what is happening on and off the shelf. You like to spot new food items in store.
•     Three languages. You are comfortable working in Dutch, French, and English. Our clients switch between all three, and so will you.
•     Common sense. You pick things up quickly, ask the right questions, and can make a sound call without overthinking it.
•     Hunger for more. We are not looking for someone who needs to be pushed. We are looking for someone who pushes, and who wants to grow with us. Does it sound like you? Send us your CV, together with a mandatory motivation letter on why this role and Green Seed Belgium feel like the right match, to kjacobs@greenseedgroup.be . *We are looking forward to hearing from you.*
