As an organisation, we want to offer our colleagues a safe working environment, where they can be themselves and become who they want to be -- an environment where growth, learning, and entrepreneurship are encouraged.
Vandeputte Safety is looking for an Inside Sales Coordinator for Flanders, based at our office in Boechout.
What we expect from you
As Inside Sales Coordinator, you will lead a commercial inside sales team and report directly to the Sales Manager. You will work together with the account managers in the Flanders Sales team to achieve the objectives set.
You will inspire and support the Inside Sales team to achieve optimal customer satisfaction and act as the go-to person for complex customer cases and substantive questions. You will foster team cohesion, and will keep the interests of both the customer and the organisation in mind while managing the customer portfolio.
You will moreover give direction to the team by translating team objectives into clear tasks and responsibilities, creating clarity in roles so that everyone knows what is expected of them. You will coach team members, identify their training and development needs, and provide encouragement for their professional growth. You provide regular feedback to make sure that team members feel supported in their development and are able to maximise their potential.
Finally, you will make sure that the department is run smoothly through effective planning and organisation. You will monitor performance, identify opportunities for process improvement, and make concrete proposals to optimise efficiency. You will cooperate proactively with other departments to create synergies and streamline processes, so that the team can perform even better.
What you bring to the table
- You hold a bachelor’s degree and have at least 5 years’ experience in a commercial role, where customer focus is an overriding priority.
- You have experience in a coordinating role and know how to motivate a team, give direction, and drive the development of team members.
- You are familiar with SAP or a similar ERP system and have excellent Excel skills (including V-lookup and pivot tables).
- You are results-oriented and have strong persuasive skills, enabling you to motivate and influence others towards common goals.
- You have a proactive and change-oriented mindset, and are thus capable of responding flexibly to new challenges and improving processes.
What Vandeputte has to offer
You will be joining a dynamic, international environment where well-being and results go hand in hand. Here, you are not just a number. Vandeputte Safety is a dynamic company with a horizontal structure where you have room to develop, take control of your career, and leverage your strengths. You will be immersed in the organisation’s culture so that you can contribute autonomously and responsibly, where trust is the starting point for a great collaboration.
In addition, you can count on an attractive package of employment benefits, including a well-deserved salary, meal allowance, access to an e-learning platform, and group and hospitalisation insurance. You will work in an informal and friendly atmosphere and report to a manager who trusts you. Our modern headquarters in Boechout will be your home base. The coffee is always ready for you, and it comes with the smiles. There is also the possibility to work from home.
