As a Senior Key Account Manager, you will be visiting your largest client in Veldhoven on a weekly basis. Your primary focus and responsibility lie in project and contract management. You ensure that all agreements are honored, but you are not hesitant to push back when necessary. Essentially, through your effective communication, you ensure that everything runs smoothly. By actively listening, you identify opportunities for up- and cross-selling. There is still enormous growth potential, and you play a crucial role in this expansion. You are accustomed to managing capital-intensive projects (€10M+) and have the ability to further develop them. Long project lead times of 2 to 3 years do not deter you.
