The role
Amsterdam- Are you an experienced account manager in the automotive sector and ready for a new challenge? As Key Account Manager AutoWereld & AutoWeek, you will make a daily impact by translating the strategic challenges of your accounts into effective solutions on our used car platforms.

Expanding partnerships: You will delve into the KPIs, commercial challenges, and long-term vision of your accounts and translate these into effective solutions on the AutoWereld and AutoWeek used car platforms.
Translating market signals: You will gather relevant industry insights and feed these back to product development, marketing, and management, so that our proposition remains seamlessly aligned with the needs of the top segment.
Entrepreneurship & direction: You will draw up your own strategic account plans, determine your priorities, and take full responsibility for achieving commercial objectives.
Ambassador for our brands: You will actively represent AutoWereld and AutoWeek within the automotive sector, at networking events, and in the professional field.
