You operate in a market where demand already exists.

• Build trust by acting as an advisor and guiding customers through complex challenges related to reliability, energy consumption, sustainability, and scalability.
• Identify opportunities by actively probing and translating customer needs into concrete project solutions.
• Turn insights into action by collaborating with internal specialists and project teams to successfully deliver customer solutions.

You also bring:

• Bachelor’s level (HBO) working and thinking level.
• At least 5 years of experience in a commercial role, preferably in a technical environment.
• Experience in building and expanding customer relationships across different levels.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to ask the right questions.
