Senior Sales Manager

Bright Green Partners is a global alternative protein focused consulting house that was founded in 2020 and is dedicated to transforming meat and dairy production to solve some of the world's biggest challenges.

We work with leading global food and biotech companies and governments to help them navigate the emerging plant-based, fermentation-derived, and cultivated meat and dairy industries. Our services include strategy, innovation, and operational consulting, and we guide our clients from the initial stages of their journey all the way to large-scale production and market entry. 

We're a young and ambitious consultancy with a strong track record of growth and a range of satisfied global customers, including Kraft Heinz and Ajinomoto. Over the first 2.5 years of our organization, we established a robust foundation for our company, from proposal and business delivery procedures to finance and beyond.

One of the core differentiators of Bright Green Partners compared to other consultancies is our content marketing approach which includes producing white papers, newsletter, case studies, webinars, and other educational materials that provide insights into the alternative protein industry. By sharing our knowledge and expertise, we establish ourselves as thought leaders in the field, which helps us attract and retain clients.

However, we recognize that direct sales can be an important complement to our content marketing efforts, which is why we are looking for a Senior Sales Manager who can develop and execute a comprehensive direct sales strategy. This includes identifying potential clients, generating leads, building relationships, and ultimately closing deals. 

Joining our team means having the opportunity to work with a dynamic and ambitious group of professionals who are passionate about making a positive impact on the world. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, as well as a flexible and supportive work environment. 

• You have 10-15 years of professional experience, including recent experience in high-value B2B sales.
• You are located (ideally) in the Netherlands and should have experience in the food industry.
• Expert skills in developing and presenting the strategic vision and value proposition to senior client executives to close high-ticket B2B sales projects are essential.
• You should be able to collaborate with Account Executives and consulting team members to engage clients in a way that builds credibility and increases services opportunities.
• Capability and interest in working independently, especially when it comes to lead nurturing, is required.
• Strong written and oral communication skills are essential.
• Proficiency in Hubspot or other CRM tools (we use Hubspot) is a must.
• You must be able to manage your time and priorities effectively, completing tasks in a timely manner.
• Fluency in English is required.

• We're a team of highly passionate individuals who share a common goal of shaping the future of meat and dairy with a commercial focus.  
• We have a serious approach to our work but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We're a relatively small consultancy with an entrepreneurial spirit and look for people who enjoy such an environment. In other words, you'll need to book your flight tickets. 
• We're a remote company and value our employees' independence and flexibility.  
• We understand the importance of a good work-life balance and believe that it leads to better productivity and overall well-being.
