- Customer Contact & Relationship Management: Serve as the point of contact for (potential) customers seeking to optimize their processes with a palletizer or bagging machine, or for existing customers looking to upgrade or expand their operations.
- Acquisition & Business Development: Manage commercial projects, starting with manageable ones and gradually taking on more complex transactions. Actively contribute to attracting new businesses aligned with our commercial strategy.
- Stakeholder Collaboration: Work with colleagues and upstream/downstream partners supporting our customer ecosystem.
- Market Analysis: Identify trends in the agricultural, pet food, animal feed, and packaging machinery sectors in collaboration with Business Intelligence and Marketing, and translate them into new project opportunities.
