In their own words

About the company & team

In this role, you will be an essential part of the Benelux Sales team. This team focuses entirely on growing Butternut Box by bringing our subscription model directly to the attention of new customers on location. You are the pivot between the strategy in the office and the execution on the floor.

We are looking for someone who gets a lot of energy from organizing and does everything to ensure activations run perfectly down to the smallest detail. You are not afraid to pick up the phone and you are strong in building and maintaining relationships with event organizers. Whether it is a strategic negotiation or a last-minute logistical change, you hold the reins.

While you will sporadically be physically present at an event yourself, you will work closely with our field team of brand ambassadors. You will collect their feedback and insights to make every event a commercial success. You are responsible for the entire project-based side: from stand design to the complex planning of large activations such as the Huishoudbeurs, Animal Event, and the Libelle Zomerweek.
