Trader Fish

Working at Kühne + Heitz requires an entrepreneurial mindset. You run your own toko, so to speak!

Together with your colleagues, you will be responsible for seizing opportunities and maintaining relationships from start to finish. You can easily adjust your negotiation style and communication according to your client or supplier and their cultural background. That’s how you create a real favor factor! You not only want to score, but also analyze the associated risks. And you understand you always need another person to close a deal. In our team you will have plenty of room to implement new ideas and initiate plans. Which perfectly fits with your entrepreneurial and commercial spirit. You also possess a healthy dose of guts and good business sense. Which means that sometimes you also sell “no” when it’s better for the customer.

This is your challenge as a trader:

Expand your business with existing and new products in your area.
Maintain intensive telephone and personal contacts with your clients. To do this, you will spend about 4-5 weeks a year traveling and visiting important trade shows or exhibitions.

Stay ‘on top’ of market changes and development to keep ahead of the supply and demand game. Both in terms of buying and selling.
Initiating and realizing new sales channels By developing new product-market combinations.

As trader Fish you possess:

You have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or equivalent experience, in Economics, Business Administration, International Business or other relevant educations.

You have 3 to 8 years of experience as sales manager, account manager, export manager or trader (preferably in the food industry). Preferably gained in the food industry. In any case, your product knowledge is beyond dispute.

Perfect command of Dutch and English, both oral and written. In addition, you are proficient in an additional international business language, such as French, German or Spanish.

Kühne + Heitz offers you:

A salary that will make you happy.
A leading position within a flat organization with a friendly corporate culture. Think short lines (together at one big desk), after-hours drinks and sitting at your desk in jeans.
Good benefits including:
- A profit-sharing scheme.
- A non-contributory pension plan.
- A company car, depending on your entry level and/or growth.
A versatile position with a lot of freedom and independence.
The best coffee in Dordrecht.
A nice working atmosphere with room for development.
A nice communal lunch every day.
