Our customer, BioActor, is a Dutch life-science company that develops healthy and innovative ingredients for the food supplement industry, and recently became part of the Solabia Group (HQ in Paris). We are currently looking for an Account Manager for the DACH region, with strong motivation to grow BioActor’s current and new business in the region. This position will focus primarily on new customer acquisition, whilst managing and retaining a few existing customers. Customers are typically supplement, sports nutrition and health food brands.

The Nutrition Sales & Marketing team is managed from the office in Maastricht, but the position can be home-based with regular attendance of meetings in Maastricht. The market opportunities are significant and BioActor has aggressive sales targets to meet over the next 2-3 years. Therefore, it is important to find the right individual who has the skill set, motivation, and drive to build BioActor’s success in the healthy ageing and active living ingredients market.
