• You lead the local sales team, consisting of the sales support team (about 2 FTE) and an account manager, and ensure focus, development, and commercial effectiveness;

• You translate our technological expertise, such as ultra-precise machining, into distinctive customer propositions and optimize local sales processes, including contract management, order processing, and cost control, in coordination with the other NTS locations and the headquarters in Eindhoven;

• You develop growth plans for both strategic and local customers and actively manage their implementation;

• You identify market and customer developments, drive new business opportunities, and provide direction for strategic and tactical policies for Drachten.
