The rise of the big retailers. It’s the movie of this century for every small and independent retailer. The shop on the corner of the street wants to keep its business, struggling with the big multinationals and online stores. Your favorite local store has to make improvements as well, and this company helps them with that.
What’s this about?
You can notice it everywhere; thanks to the rise of big online retailers, it’s often not worth it to go to an actual shop or store. You can buy something you want from your home already, so why would you go out? Well, some people still like the little retailers they’ve been going to all their lives. And you probably do as well. Or do you like the thought of empty streets again, without any local retailers?
So in order to keep up with the big ones, those independent retailers could use some help. By acquiring the best products for example, by use of an easy and fast platform for ordering their goods. Here, the profit works both ways; every brand, big or small, could offer their products. And every retailer can order with easy conditions and payment methods. The marketplace becomes connected all over Europe.
That’s great! What can I do here?
Convincing the best brands in the Benelux to join their platform, in order to increase the wholesales activity. That’s what your job is about as their Brand Onboarding Manager. Because after their huge funding, the growth potential is big, but more brands could get to know them. You’ll do this by being a trusted business partner for brands to increase their wholesale activity. The Brand Excellence will be optimized by you, so the product adoption keeps growing.
Do I qualify for this challenge?
You’ve been working as an Account Manager of Business Developer before, or something that’s a bit like those roles. Thanks to that, you know that you’re resilient and able to expand a market based on trust and good relations. Adapting like a chameleon to the wishes and needs of your customers, that’s what makes you good at this. In combination with organizing and communication skills, your passion comes fully to its right.
And how is this passion going to be rewarded?
By joining one of the fastest-growing European startups, the reward won’t stay behind. The highly dynamic environment makes it fun to work in, and you’ll be earning up to €63.000 gross a year. But you know, once the effect of your job is paying off, it could mean much more for the rest of your career.
