We are looking for a Sales Manager who is ready to take ownership of growing our business by building new partnerships, deepening existing relationships and exploring new area’s of opportunity.

What you’ll be doing as Sales Manager?

As our Sales Manager, you will be the link between our clients and our technical team. You understand what clients need, you propose smart and tailored solutions that help them move forward, and you ensure Eager.one is always top of mind when lifting challenges arise.

• Keeping a close eye on trends and developments in the market.

Who are you?

You enjoy working in a dynamic, tech-driven environment and get energy from building relationships and closing deals.

• A lease car, laptop, mobile phone, and pension plan (PME).
• 27 vacation days and flexible working hours.
• A supportive team with plenty of room for your own ideas and initiative.
• A wide range of training opportunities through our in-house Academy.
• An informal, open work culture that values collaboration and professional growth.
• The chance to work on international projects that challenge and inspire.
