- Technical leadership: Coordinate successful trials and technical support for customers, working closely with our distributors’ technicians and our local team.Networking & representation: Represent Schippers at national and international trade shows and conferences. Organise and lead study trips for key accounts to our headquarters in the Netherlands.
- Strategic growth: Actively contribute to the future growth of the business. In consultation with management, develop plans to expand the local team and open a dedicated Schippers Mexico office.
Your profile: a commercial strategist with a pioneer mindset, with previous experience at an international company. We’re not just looking for a salesperson. We’re looking for a future leader.
- Sales is your passion: You have a proven track record and believe in your abilities. You’re a hunter, unafraid of taking risks and creating opportunities.
- Your network is your capital: You have a strong and active network in the Mexican pig and/or poultry sector. You know the players, the challenges, and the opportunities.
- Entrepreneurial and self-starting: You take initiative, are proactive, and act as an owner of your market. You are based in central Mexico.
- Natural leader: You are an excellent communicator, able to build relationships at all levels, and capable of inspiring, coaching, and leading both distributors and future colleagues.
- Languages: You are fluent in Spanish and preferably speak professional-level English.
A share in our success. This is more than a job: it’s a partnership.
