Job Description

Grow markets. Build partnerships. Shape the future of sustainable agriculture.

Are you a strategic yet hands-on commercial leader who thrives on driving growth and building lasting relationships? We are looking for an Area Sales Manager to spearhead our fertilizer business across the Benelux and Nordic countries . In this pivotal role, you'll combine agronomic knowledge, commercial acumen, and value-based selling to expand our presence and deliver meaningful impact across the agricultural value chain.

About the Role

You will lead business development initiatives, execute regional sales strategies, and build strong connections with distributors, growers, and agronomists.

What You'll Do

You will:

• Drive sales and business development across multiple European territories, developing and executing market expansion strategies.
• Identify new business opportunities along the entire value chain-distributors, retailers, and end-users-and lead negotiations from first contact to close.
• Generate demand through targeted campaigns, product demonstrations, and strategic partnerships.
• Collaborate with internal teams to design new product concepts, crop-specific programs, and marketing initiatives that support growth.
• Provide accurate forecasting, market intelligence, and performance reporting to guide regional strategy.
• Support and coach dealers and distributors, fostering engagement, motivation, and continuous improvement.
• Ensure top-tier customer engagement and handle escalations with professionalism and care.

Your Expertise

You bring a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Agronomy, Agricultural Sciences, Business, or a related field, along with 7-10 years of experience in sales or business development within the fertilizer or crop input industry. You have a proven record of growing specialty products across multiple markets and understand the dynamics of European agriculture.

You combine strategic vision with practical execution , possess strong relationship and negotiation skills, and are comfortable navigating complex value chains. You communicate fluently in English and Dutch, and conversational French would be a plus.
