Sales Traineeship Netherlands

Position Summary

Role and Responsibilities

Your Journey

This three-year track focuses on developing you into a future sales leader, while giving you the chance to explore the broader commercial landscape. You’ll work with key clients and retail partners across different product divisions, gaining hands-on experience in sales cycles, account management, and field execution. From day one, you’ll be empowered to take ownership, build strong client relationships, and drive real business growth.

Your rotations may include channel sales, retail operations, and trade marketing, giving you a well-rounded view of how we go to market. You'll also gain exposure to the commercial decision-making behind our product strategy. While the program is designed with a clear focus on sales, it also offers the flexibility to branch out into roles in marketing, supply chain management (SCM), or business strategy later on — especially through our general track.

What makes this traineeship unique is the balance between structure and flexibility: you’ll build a strong sales skillset with clear responsibilities, while still keeping the door open to grow into other commercial roles based on your interests and strengths. Throughout the journey, a dedicated mentor and ongoing training will support your growth into a confident, capable commercial professional.
