Title:  Sales Development Representative

A Place Where People Matter – Growing our People to Grow Our Business
We’re thrilled that you are exploring career opportunities where you can continue to make a positive difference every day to keep our communities healthy, fed, clean and safe.

Are you ready to kick start your sales career?  Do you enjoy chasing new opportunities and building strong customer relationships?

At Univar Solutions, we’re giving you the opportunity to grow as a sales professional, while working with market-leading products in an international company.

Key Responsibilities and Tasks

In this role, you will be focused on actively hunting for new business, whilst also supporting and growing existing accounts.

You will work from our office (Brussels or Blandain + teleworking) and be responsible for :

• Identifying and qualify new prospects/opportunities and turning them into long term customers
• Developing our customer portfolio across different industries
• Creating a great buying experience for customers – from 1st contact to delivery
• Driving sales activity and achieving clear targets in both revenue and customer engagement
• Promoting our value proposition to all customers as a platform for growth
• Understanding and keeping abreast of industry and market trends
• The role will consist of a split of approximately 80% prospecting, and 20% account management and developing business at existing customers

What We Are Looking For

We’re not looking for years and years of sales experience – we’re looking for someone who is self-motivated with energy, enthusiasm, ambition and the drive to succeed in sales.

If you already have some commercial experience (in sales, customer service, or another customer-facing role), that’s great – but what really matters is your motivation to learn and grow.

You are:

• Hungry to are: win new business and grow accounts
• bilingual in French and Dutch - good knowledge of English
• Curious, disciplined and eager to learn
• Comfortable setting goals and working hard to achieve them
• A strong communicator, with the ability to build rapport immediately
• A strong negotiator and deal closer

What do You Bring

• A proactive, hunter mindset – you like picking up the phone, reaching out, and creating opportunities
• The ability to listen to customers and build trust
• A structured and results-driven way of working
• The persistence to keep going until you close the deal

What We Offer

• A clear career path with training, coaching, and international growth opportunities
• A competitive salary with bonuses and attractive benefits
• The chance to work for a global leader in chemical and ingredient distribution with over 9,500 employees worldwide
• A dynamic, supportive team where your effort makes a real impact
