Here at HR Soul our solutions amplify the performance of people and the soul of company culture. From strategic planning with CEO’s, partnering with HR leaders on key projects, building high performing teams to coaching and recruiting the future of our client’s organization.
HR Soul is partnering with an established, international organization in the flavor, food ingredient and specialty ingredient industry to identify an experienced Key Account Manager.
This is a highly visible commercial role responsible for developing long-term relationships with strategic customers, identifying new revenue opportunities, and guiding customer initiatives from initial concept through commercialization.
The ideal candidate brings a combination of strategic sales ability, technical curiosity and relationship-building skills. This is not simply an account maintenance position. We are looking for someone who can understand a customer's business, uncover opportunities, navigate complex organizations, and bring the right internal resources together to deliver solutions.
Commercially hungry. You enjoy finding the next opportunity rather than simply servicing the business already on the books.
Consultative. You ask good questions, understand the customer's business and develop solutions around what they are trying to accomplish.
Technically curious. You don't need to be the scientist in the room, but you enjoy learning enough about products, applications and formulations to have credible conversations with customers and technical teams.
Relationship-driven. You build trust across multiple levels of an organization and understand that major accounts are won over time.
Highly accountable. You take ownership of customer commitments and make sure things get done.
Collaborative. You know that winning and retaining complex accounts requires coordination across sales, R&D, operations, quality, regulatory, supply chain and finance.
Adaptable. You are comfortable working in an evolving, entrepreneurial environment where growth creates both opportunity and change.
