Do you have experience as a baker and are you ready for something new?
Do you want to stay connected to the bakery world? Do you understand how a bakery operates, have an entrepreneurial mindset, and enjoy the technical side of baking? Then this is the job for you!
What will you do?
As a Sales Representative for Kalmeijer, you are the face of our company to the customer. You’ll visit bakeries in your region and work closely with bakers to find solutions to their specific challenges. With your background as a baker, you’re a true expert in your field and well-equipped to give sound advice. In addition to acquiring new customers, you’ll also maintain relationships with existing clients, identifying new opportunities along the way. Your role goes beyond just selling machines — you’ll also advise bakers on their overall business operations. The Northern Netherlands region mainly includes Friesland, Groningen, and Drenthe. A portion of Germany, including the area up to Bremen and Quakenbrück, also falls within your territory.
Who are you?
You’re entrepreneurial, eager to learn, and helpful by nature. You enjoy working with bakers to improve how they do their work — not just by selling, but by thinking along with them in the broadest sense. Your ultimate goal is to sell machines, but you understand that true success comes from helping bakers move forward. You’ll have a lot of freedom in this role, and you understand that this comes with a high level of responsibility. Since part of your region includes Germany, you speak German well. Additionally, you:
- Have several years of experience as a baker;
- Enjoy being on the road and are flexible with your working hours (mostly daytime, but machine installations may occasionally require nighttime work);
- Have strong communication skills and a commercial mindset;
- Are willing to attend (inter)national trade shows, including on Sundays;
- Speak both Dutch and German.
What we offer
A fun and challenging position within a relatively small organization, with varied responsibilities. You'll be working in a company with short lines of communication and an informal culture. In addition, you’ll receive:
- A fixed base salary;
- An attractive bonus and commission scheme;
- Plenty of time off: 27 vacation days and 13 additional leave (ATV) days;
- Pension scheme in accordance with the Metalektro collective agreement;
- A lease car, smartphone, and laptop/iPad to support your work.
