Sales Manager - Belgium & Netherlands

Location: Belgium (responsibility for Belgium and the Netherlands)

We’re looking for a hands-on Sales Manager to take full ownership of how EGN grows in Belgium and the Netherlands.

This is a leadership role for a sales leader who enjoys building strong teams, staying close to key customer conversations, and creating simple, effective structures that drive predictable, long-term growth. You’ll lead a local sales team, work closely with senior leaders, and play a key role in shaping how EGN develops sales talent across two established markets.

This role suits a player-coach who leads from the front, is comfortable working in a lean environment, and adapts their approach across different markets while building trust with senior decision-makers over time.

The Role

As Sales Manager – Belgium & Netherlands, you will take full ownership of membership growth across both markets.

Your mission is to deliver predictable, profitable growth by building, coaching, and leading a high performing sales team. This is a working leadership role: you will lead the team day to day, partner closely with senior leaders at EGN, help move complex opportunities toward clear decisions, and build a sales operation that is disciplined, trusted, and repeatable.

Your focus is not just on closing memberships, but on developing people and creating a consistent way of working that delivers sustainable monthly results.

What You’ll Work On

• Build a high-performing team: Coach and develop salespeople to grow confident, consistent top performers
• Create consistency and discipline: Uphold clear sales processes, standards, and rhythms that drive reliable pipeline quality and forecasting
• Own the numbers: Set priorities, review performance, and achieve new membership targets through focused execution and follow-through
• Stay in the field: Take part directly in key and complex membership conversations with senior leaders and decision-makers
• Strengthen how we sell: Improve how the team positions EGN’s value, qualify opportunities, and guides prospects toward confident decisions
• Build the market: Partner with marketing and leadership to strengthen EGN’s presence and reputation locally in Belgium and the Netherlands

What We’re Looking For

You likely bring:

• 5+ years of experience in sales leadership, with a track record of building and scaling sales teams while achieving revenue goals
• A people-focused leadership style, with a genuine interest in hiring, coaching, giving feedback, and developing salespeople over time
• A player-coach mindset, with the ability and willingness to stay close to key customer conversations
• Experience driving sustainable growth in complex B2B or service-based sales environments where trust and long-term relationships matter
• A structured and disciplined approach to sales management, combined with pragmatism and good judgment
• Leadership experience working closely with colleagues across sales, marketing, and senior leadership
• The ability to develop and uphold clear sales processes and principles with discipline

Native-level Dutch is required, and you are fluent in professional English.

What We Offer

• A leadership role across two established and growing markets
• The opportunity to shape how EGN hires and develops sales talent locally
• Close collaboration with an international EGN and Vistage leadership network
• A close-to-the-business role with real influence and short decision paths
• Competitive salary with performance-based bonus

If you’re motivated by building strong teams, long-term relationships, and a sales culture that values quality as much as results, we’d be happy to hear from you.
