Country Manager Netherlands (m/f/d)
Niederlande
TSI Consumer Goods is a family-owned company from Germany, operating in the FMCG sector for more than 30 years. We supply high-quality food products to retail and wholesale customers across Germany and Europe, in both branded and private-label business. Our products are listed with leading European retail chains.
We have been steadily expanding in the Netherlands — most recently by successfully starting a local field sales team — and are now looking for a Country Manager who runs the Dutch business like their own, with full P&L responsibility and personal ownership of our key retail accounts.
This is a hands-on commercial leadership role. It is not a strategy, advisory, or interim-management position.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
-
Full P&L and managing-director responsibility for the Dutch business unit — starting as a team of one: you.
-
Own and grow the relationships with major Dutch grocery accounts, personally and at buyer level.
-
Expand our broad branded-product portfolio as well as our private label services in the Dutch market.
-
Organise and coordinate promotions, in-store activation and merchandising tours.
-
Build, lead, and develop the local sales organisation (key account managers, field sales) as per the company’s needs.
-
Own budget, forecast, and margin planning and control.
-
Feed back operational insights on sales, competition, and new product opportunities.
WHAT YOU MUST BRING (non-negotiable)
-
„Permanent“ availability – this is not a nine to five job.
-
Several years of key account management experience in Dutch food retail.
-
A proven track record in both branded and private-label business.
-
Hands-on experience with major Dutch retailers and discounters, for instance: Albert Heijn, Superunie, Jumbo, Lidl Nederland, Aldi Nederland, PLUS, Picnic, SPAR Nederland, Hoogvliet, Ekoplaza.
-
Degree in business, marketing, or a related field.
-
Native-level Dutch and fluent English; German is a plus.
-
Residence in one of the larger Dutch cities (e.g. Amsterdam, Rotterdam, or Utrecht).
Applications without hands-on account experience in Dutch food retail — for example pure consulting, strategy, or advisory backgrounds — will not be considered.
WHAT WE OFFER
-
Attractive salary plus performance-based bonus.
-
Full P&L ownership of an established, growing business in a crisis-resistant industry, with potential business co-ownership in the long term.
-
Thorough onboarding and continuous support along the entire supply chain from TSI’s internal departments.
-
A modern working environment with up-to-date equipment.
-
Team events and company celebrations.
-
Corporate benefits and a 25% discount on TSI products.
