🛠️ Key Responsibilities

1. Business Development & Sales (50%)

  • Identify and engage public and private sector prospects across Benelux (mobility authorities, cities, transport operators).

  • Represent Vianova at local and regional events, trade shows, and meetings.

  • Collaborate with the marketing team to tailor regional campaigns and outreach.

2. Strategic Account & Project Management (50%)

  • Act as the main point of contact for key clients and pilot partners in the region.

  • Manage project delivery and onboarding in collaboration with Customer Solutions and Product teams.

  • Translate customer feedback into actionable insights for the Product roadmap.

  • Monitor KPIs, ensure adoption, and identify upsell or renewal opportunities.


Preferred experience

✅ Required

  • 3–5+ years of experience in sales, account management, or customer success, ideally in mobility, smart cities, SaaS, or civic tech.

  • Fluent in English and Dutch (French is a plus).

  • Strong knowledge of the Benelux public sector and/or urban mobility ecosystem.

  • Excellent interpersonal skills: able to build trust and influence across complex stakeholder landscapes.

  • Highly organized, autonomous, and comfortable juggling multiple priorities.

🌟 Nice to Have

  • Previous experience with mobility data, transport policy, or municipal procurement.

  • Experience managing pilots, PoCs, or public-private partnerships.

  • Comfort using tools like HubSpot, and other CRM & lead generation softwares

💡 What You’ll Gain

  • Direct impact on how cities shape the future of transportation.

  • Cross-functional experience at the intersection of sales, strategy, and urban innovation.

  • Opportunities for career growth in a fast-growing, mission-driven company.

  • Access to a European network of smart mobility leaders and innovators.
