Sales Director Benelux

This is an opportunity to take something with genuine scale, market credibility, and an established customer base, then help unlock what comes next. The foundations are already there. The challenge is modernising the sales approach, creating more demand, building stronger enterprise relationships, and turning potential into sustained growth across the Benelux region.

You'll need to be comfortable leading from the front. Not just managing forecasts and reporting numbers, but shaping strategy, influencing senior stakeholders, and driving meaningful change across the organisation. The ideal person will enjoy bringing structure to complexity, building momentum, and helping teams perform at a higher level.

For someone who wants real ownership, this role offers the chance to lead a major growth initiative within a respected enterprise software business. You'll have the autonomy to make decisions, the visibility to influence direction, and the opportunity to leave a lasting mark on a region with significant untapped potential.

Who’s it for and what’s in it for you?
The software our client develops is used within the world’s most asset-intensive organisations to keep critical operations running smoothly, that’s how good their offerings are. The platform is used by maintenance, operations, and engineering teams to reduce downtime, manage assets, and overall to improve performance. 

With a fast-growing international presence and strong existing reputation in the enterprise software market, they manage to find a great blend of a global business with a culture that is product focused. Working here gives you the opportunity to work with technology that delivers measurable, real-world impact.

What will your day to day look like?
This is a true leadership position. You will be leading a team of excellent sales professionals who need guidance in this transformation of the sales function. Your day-to-day responsibilities could include:
•    Taking ownership of a mature revenue engine, setting new standards and operating rhythms that boost revenue further
•    Leading proactive sales, building new GTM strategies, and engaging with C-level executives
•    Generating your own demand for the software offerings, including increasing deal size and executing land-and-expand approaches
•    Coaching a seasoned sales team to improve performance and drive change
This is not a caretaker position. This is a role that is central to the future plans of the company, and it’s a role that needs a strong leader to lead from the front.


This role will suit you if you…
•    Have proven success leading complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales organisations
•    Are confident leading large, mature teams with a mix of strong personalities
•    Can showcase credibility with C-suite executives, both internal and external
•    Are experienced in coaching salespeople to reach their potential, as well as managing expected attrition
•    Have experience within asset-heavy sectors
•    Are fluent in Dutch
