Here at innocent, we’re on a mission to make it easier for everyone to get more fruit and veg into their bodies. We started back in 1999 and since then we’ve gone from selling a few smoothies at a music festival to becoming one of Europe’s biggest drinks companies with around 1,000 people (and the B Corp seal of approval).

It’s nice to be able to say things like that but we’re not patting ourselves on the back just yet. We want to show everyone that it’s possible to be a successful business while looking after people and the environment too, so we’re trying to get better in pretty much every way. And that’s where this job comes in.

We're looking for an ambitious and entrepreneurial Out of Home Key Account Manager to help grow innocent across the Dutch market.

You'll manage a portfolio of key customers while also identifying and winning new business opportunities. This is a highly commercial role where you'll combine relationship building, business development and data-driven decision making to drive sustainable growth and increase innocent's presence across the Out of Home channel.

You'll be doing

  • Managing and growing a portfolio of key Out of Home customers, building strong partnerships to increase distribution, visibility and sales of innocent products.
  • Owning customer business plans, promotional activity, range reviews and commercial negotiations to deliver sustainable growth.
  • Identifying and winning new business opportunities, converting prospects into long-term customers and expanding innocent's presence across the Dutch market.
  • Taking responsibility for revenue delivery, forecasting performance, analysing sales data and identifying both risks and growth opportunities.
  • Collaborating cross-functionally with Finance, Supply Chain, Marketing and Category Development to deliver excellent commercial results.
  • Staying close to the market through regular customer and outlet visits, gathering insights and ensuring strong execution of plans in the field.

 

You’ll have

  • Commercial experience gained through an internship, working student role or early-career position, ideally within FMCG, Foodservice or Retail;
  • An entrepreneurial mindset and a natural ability to spot opportunities where others see challenges;
  • Strong commercial acumen and the confidence to influence and negotiate with a variety of stakeholders;
  • A proactive, self-starting approach with a strong sense of ownership;
  • Resilience, determination and a results-oriented mindset;
  • Excellent relationship-building skills and the ability to collaborate across multiple teams;
  • Strong analytical capabilities and confidence working with Excel and commercial performance data;
  • Fluent Dutch and English language skills;
  • Based in the Netherlands and willing to travel regularly to Amsterdam and across the country.

 

You’ll get

  • The opportunity to directly influence innocent's growth within one of our most strategic channels;
  • A balanced role combining account management and business development;
  • Ownership of key customer relationships and commercial performance;
  • Exposure to multiple business functions including Sales, Marketing, Finance, Category Development and Supply Chain;
  • The chance to make a visible impact by winning new customers and expanding innocent's presence across the Dutch market;
  • A fast-paced environment where initiative, creativity and entrepreneurial thinking are genuinely valued;

We want innocent to be a great place to work, so we do lots of stuff to make people feel at home and try to make sure everyone’s career is shaping up the way they want it to. There are plenty of opportunities to have a go at something new or take things further.

In exchange for helping us do business in the right way, you’ll get a solid rewards package that includes a salary (phew), private healthcare, a target-based bonus, and a bunch of other nice things like a day off on your birthday. And yes, you get free smoothies.

We also know that not all our drinkers come from the same background, or think the same – so why should we? At innocent, we want to be a great place to work where a diverse bunch of people from all backgrounds can turn up and thrive. When we hire, we want all the juice, bits, and pulp that make you who you are.

Even if you don’t think you can tick all the boxes, if the job sounds right for you, come and throw your hat in the ring.
