Your role as Account Manager

As an Account Manager at VDL ETG Almelo, you are much more than a commercial sparring partner. You are the driver of one or more strategic account(s) and the one who provides direction to the collaboration between the customer and production. You know what is happening with your customer, but just as importantly: you understand how things truly work in the operation. You oversee processes, understand technical choices, and know exactly what is feasible, and what is not. Because of this, you are able to manage expectations, set priorities, and get the internal organization moving. You do not lead hierarchically, but rather through content and based on knowledge, conviction, and control. You interface daily with disciplines such as engineering, operations, and supply chain, ensuring that everyone works towards the same goal: an optimal result for both the customer and VDL ETG.

What you concretely do;

• You take control of one or more strategic accounts and monitor progress, results, and agreements
• You steer internally on content and priority: you know what needs to be done and get people on board with it
• You translate customer requests into technically and operationally feasible solutions
• You are a serious interlocutor for both engineers and purchasers at the customer
• You oversee the entire chain: from quotation to delivery and performance
• You actively steer on margin, planning, quality, and customer satisfaction
• You signal deviations and intervene before they become problems

You are an account manager who feels at home in a complex, technical production environment and delivers your added value precisely there.

In this role, you make a real impact on both the customer and the internal organization. You work on complex high-tech products within a leading manufacturing environment and find yourself at the intersection of technology, operations, and commerce. Together with multidisciplinary teams and international customers, you combine substantive expertise with control, and you make the difference.
