International Purchasing & Sales Manager

• As Purchasing & Sales Manager, you have a HBO/WO (higher professional/university) working and thinking level supplemented by a number of years of commercial experience, preferably in raw materials trading or commodities.

• You have knowledge of and a feel for the agricultural sector, get energy from international travel (10-15% of your time), and speak fluent English and preferably a second foreign language such as French, Spanish, or German.

• You are able to convert your abstract, analytical thinking skills into action and results. Additionally, you are involved with the customer, are service-oriented, and a true team player. Results are achieved together.

In addition to a lot of fun and occasionally tasting a delicious beer with your colleagues, you can also count on us for:

• A salary appropriate to your knowledge and experience, including a 13th month, 8% holiday allowance, and a 10% bonus on your annual salary.

• 30 days of leave, travel expense allowance, and remote work allowance.

• A good pension scheme and a discount on supplementary health insurance premiums.

• A significant discount on our products in the "Dare to Drink Different" staff shop.

• Plenty of room to develop yourself through challenging AI projects, training, conferences, and the Swinkels Academy.

Holland Malt is one of the larger maltsters in Europe and, with the Eemshaven location, even possesses one of the largest production units in the world. Additionally, we have the ambition to fulfill an even more important position in the malting world in the coming years. As International Purchasing & Sales Manager, you will be responsible for the procurement of our brewing barley and the sale of a portion of our malt. Both activities take place within a strongly international framework.

• Brewing barley is part of the global grain complex and, as such, pricing is highly related to—and influenced by—raw materials in a general sense. As International Purchasing & Sales Manager, you know how to fathom these influences, communicate them to the organization, and translate them into a procurement policy. The raw materials market is very volatile and constantly searching for equilibrium; at the right moments, you know how to convert an analysis into active procurement.

• In your role as International Purchasing & Sales Manager, you will be responsible for further expanding turnover with existing relationships.

• Additionally, you will perform market analyses and map out future business opportunities in order to subsequently convert these successfully into results yourself.

• The International Purchasing & Sales Manager reports to the Director of Sales & Procurement.
