About the Opportunity

EVEREC is partnering with an international provider of EV charging and energy management technology to recruit a Business Development & Account Manager to support its continued growth across Belgium and the Netherlands.

The company provides AC and DC charging hardware, integrated software and smart energy management solutions, working with wholesalers, distributors, installers, utilities and commercial customers.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious, proactive B2B salesperson who wants to develop their career within the growing EV charging industry.

The position combines 70% new business development with 30% existing account management, with a strong emphasis on identifying new customers, building a sales pipeline from scratch and developing commercial opportunities.

We are looking for someone who is naturally curious, confident approaching prospective customers and motivated by winning new business.

You don't need to have spent years in the EV charging industry or already have an established customer network. What matters most is your ability to ask the right questions, understand customer needs, identify opportunities and turn conversations into commercial relationships.

The Role

As Business Development & Account Manager, you will be responsible for expanding the company's AC charging business across Belgium and the Netherlands.

Approximately 70% of your focus will be on new business development, identifying potential customers, generating leads, building your own sales pipeline and converting opportunities into revenue.

The remaining 30% will focus on developing existing customer relationships, identifying further opportunities and supporting long-term account growth.

This is a hands-on sales role where you will be expected to take initiative, actively approach prospective customers and create opportunities rather than rely on an established pipeline or inbound enquiries.

You will work with electrical wholesalers, distributors, installers, utilities, fleet operators, contractors and other organisations operating within the EV charging and electrical infrastructure markets.

The ideal candidate will be someone who enjoys getting out into the market, meeting customers, asking questions and learning about their businesses to identify where the company's solutions can add value.

Key Responsibilities

New Business Development – 70%

• Build and develop your own sales pipeline from scratch, identifying and approaching prospective B2B customers across Belgium and the Netherlands.
• Proactively generate leads through outbound prospecting, direct customer outreach, networking, referrals and face-to-face meetings.
• Identify and develop new relationships with electrical wholesalers, distributors, installers and other channel partners.
• Approach utilities, fleet operators, electrical contractors and commercial organisations to identify new opportunities.
• Conduct customer discovery conversations, asking relevant questions to understand requirements, challenges, purchasing processes and potential opportunities.
• Qualify prospective customers and develop opportunities through the sales pipeline.
• Take ownership of the sales process, from initial prospecting and customer engagement through to proposals, negotiations and closing.
• Develop an understanding of AC charging hardware, software and energy management solutions to confidently communicate their commercial benefits.
• Identify opportunities to expand the company's distribution network and increase market penetration.
• Research prospective customers, competitor activity and market developments to identify new business opportunities.
• Consistently work towards individual sales targets, customer acquisition objectives and revenue growth.

Account Management & Development – 30%

• Manage and develop an existing portfolio of customers and commercial partners.
• Build strong relationships with wholesalers, distributors, installers and strategic accounts.
• Identify opportunities to increase revenue through upselling, cross-selling and additional product opportunities.
• Maintain regular contact with existing customers to understand their evolving requirements.
• Support long-term customer retention and commercial growth.
• Work closely with internal teams to ensure customers receive appropriate technical and commercial support.

Sales Performance & Collaboration

• Take ownership of individual sales activity, pipeline development and revenue targets.
• Maintain accurate customer information, prospecting activity and sales forecasts using Salesforce.
• Attend regular customer and partner meetings across Belgium and the Netherlands.
• Work closely with technical, product and commercial colleagues to understand solutions and support customer requirements.
• Actively develop your product knowledge, market understanding and commercial sales skills.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for a motivated, commercially minded salesperson who enjoys new business development and wants to build a successful career in technical B2B sales.

Essential Experience & Attributes

• Proven B2B sales experience, ideally within business development, sales executive, account management, territory sales or channel sales.
• Experience proactively identifying, approaching and winning new customers.
• The ability and motivation to build a sales pipeline from scratch, rather than relying on existing accounts or inbound enquiries.
• Confidence conducting outbound prospecting, securing meetings and developing new commercial relationships.
• A curious, consultative approach to sales, with the ability to ask insightful questions and uncover customer requirements.
• Experience managing sales opportunities from initial contact through to negotiation and closing.
• A strong willingness to learn technical products, understand customer challenges and develop industry knowledge.
• A proactive, resilient and results-driven approach, with the motivation to achieve and exceed targets.
• Strong communication, relationship-building and organisational skills.
• The confidence to work independently, take initiative and manage your own sales activity.
• Willingness to travel regularly across Belgium and the Netherlands.
• Fluent/native-level Dutch and fluent English are required.

Highly Advantageous

• Experience selling technical products, hardware, electrical equipment or B2B solutions.
• Experience working with electrical wholesalers, distributors, installers or other channel partners.
• Knowledge of EV charging, electrical infrastructure, energy management or related markets.
• Experience developing new territories, customer groups or distribution partnerships.
• Experience using Salesforce or similar CRM platforms.
• French language skills.

Relevant Industry Backgrounds

We are open to candidates from a range of B2B sales environments, particularly those involving technical products, hardware or distribution.

Relevant backgrounds include:

• Electrical installation products

• Utilities and energy technology

• Other relevant technical B2B sales environments

Direct EV charging experience is advantageous but not essential.

We are equally interested in candidates from adjacent industries who have demonstrated the ability to prospect, develop customer relationships and win new business.

An established industry network is not a requirement. We are more interested in finding someone with the initiative, curiosity and commercial drive to create new opportunities and develop their own customer base.

The position will primarily be based around Antwerp, Belgium, operating on a hybrid basis.

Regular travel will be required to meet prospective and existing customers, develop commercial opportunities and strengthen partnerships across Belgium and the Netherlands.
