Sales Support Oleochemicals

As Sales Support you are in an ongoing dialogue with our non-food customers, mostly (but not exclusively) in the oleo-chemicals industry. Do you have a background in chemicals (education and/or work experience) and a commercial sense? In that case, please apply, we need you to be able to achieve our own and our customers goals!

The role:

For a large part your focus will be on the administrative part of the sales process. This means confirming contracts towards our customers and booking them into our ERP systems. It also means keeping track of the contracts and forecasts and give additional support to the Sales Manager.

In the (near) future, we will encourage you to visit customers when vital, and also negotiate outright offers in close alignment with the Sales Manager.

In your daily work you are cooperating intensively with the rest of the sales team (Merchandising & Non-Food), but also with other departments like Product Management, Pricing, Trading, Supply Chain, Sustainability, Finance and Customer Service.

What makes this job fun?

You will become part of our upbeat and rapidly growing team. The team has a strong chemistry, and they do not only work hard, but also have fun together. As your focus will be on such a specific segment (Oleochemicals), you can become an expert in your field, and a vital contact person for our customers! There will be room to develop the role and work independently.

This position can also offer you development paths towards a more commercially oriented position.
