Requirements

What we're looking for

  • You are entrepreneurial and take initiative. You are curious, see opportunities, and handle matters independently. You do not wait until someone tells you what to do.

  • You can handle a dynamic working environment well. You switch gears quickly, think in solutions, and maintain an overview when plans change or many things happen at once.

Nice to have

  • Experience within hospitality, foodservice, or FMCG.

  • Experience with the commercial sale of meat, fish, or poultry.

  • Knowledge of preparations, product applications, and yield in the kitchen.

  • A network within the hospitality or fresh industry.

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

  • Money, of course. Between €3,500 and €4,670 gross per month (based on 40 hours per week; the grading depends on knowledge and experience).

  • A lease car. You are on the road a lot, so we will arrange that well for you.

  • Lots of freedom. You are often on the road to customers and branches. In between, you work wherever it suits you best.

  • Laptop, smartphone allowance plus SIM card, and staff discount on your favorite Bidfood products.

  • A one-year contract with a view to a permanent one.

  • Growth opportunities: for example, to senior account manager, fresh category specialist, or a role within concept development.

  • Extras that will make you happy. Regular Bidfood merchandise such as jackets, sweaters, or a suitcase. And at Christmas? A well-stocked dinner package for the whole family.

  • Heading out together. Once in a while, swap your workplace to assist at large hospitality events and trade fairs. Taste the atmosphere of the hospitality industry.

  • Teamwork pays off. When the organization is doing well, everyone benefits.

You make the difference in foodservice!

The role

You know the world of meat, fish, or poultry AND you know how to sell products. As a Fresh Commercial Specialist at Bidfood, you combine your product knowledge with commercial insight. Our account managers put you in contact with catering entrepreneurs; you see where the opportunities lie and know how to convert them into sales. You will receive a lot of freedom, will be on the road regularly, and will take the initiative yourself to further grow our fresh turnover.

What you'll do

In this role, you will work as a fresh commercial specialist. What is important in this regard is that:

  • You advise catering entrepreneurs on meat, fish, and poultry. You know the products, understand what a customer needs, and know how to find a suitable offering for that.

  • You discover and create commercial opportunities. You look beyond what a customer is already ordering and know how to convert new needs into extra sales.

  • You work closely with our account managers. They bring you to the table with the right customers, after which you make the difference with your product knowledge and commercial skills.

  • You represent Bidfood at customers, trade fairs, and events. You share your knowledge, build relationships, and show what our fresh assortment has to offer.

Ultimately, you ensure that catering entrepreneurs get more out of our fresh assortment, account managers become stronger in the sale of fresh products, and our turnover in meat, fish, and poultry grows. And with that, you make the difference in foodservice.

About Bidfood

In their own words

About the company & team

We are THE online wholesaler for food professionals. From Michelin-starred restaurants to snack bars: every day we ensure that our customers can rely on the best products and service. Fresh plays an important role in this. Because for catering entrepreneurs, the right products, quality, and price make the difference. And that is precisely where we need your knowledge and commercial insight.

As a Fresh Commercial Specialist, you work closely with the account managers of our branches. They know the customers and identify opportunities for our fresh assortment. Subsequently, you join the table as a specialist. You are a sparring partner for the catering entrepreneur, think along with them regarding their needs, and advise on products and commercial possibilities. Therefore, you do not have to build a customer base from scratch yourself, but you will receive the responsibility to exploit commercial opportunities.

You work in an environment where the pace is high and not everything is mapped out in advance. That requires someone who is curious, takes initiative, and likes to get things done. You will get the freedom to deploy your knowledge and experience, but we also expect you to see and seize opportunities yourself.

At Bidfood, we work hard, but always together. We do this with more than 2,500 colleagues. Large in scale, but small in how we interact with one another. You can walk into a manager's office just as easily as a direct colleague's. If something can be done better, we go for it. We help each other move forward and also make room for a joke in between. With us, you get the space to develop yourself and make an impact.

  • Delve into the world of food & non-food and discover where your talents lie

  • Short lines, fast decisions, and a lot of freedom with practical-minded colleagues who truly understand each other

  • Follow more than 100 online trainings via GoodHabitz and build your future

  • You get the chance to give something back to society, for example through our commitment to the Food Bank

  • You work for an organization that is conscious of people, product, and planet. From less waste to smarter transport: we are taking steps every day.
