Account Manager Horeca

About WEEKEND

Hello, 👋 Felix here, co-founder and CEO of WEEKEND.

WEEKEND has one goal in mind: making cocktails more accessible and sustainable behind the bar – whether in a commercial bar or at your private party. We achieve this by creating award-winning cocktails that can be served ready-to-drink, with or without alcohol, straight from the bottle or on tap.

Today, we supply more than 1,000 hospitality venues and stores in Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland, and the Baltic states, and 5 cocktails are served every minute. We are now preparing to further expand our international ambitions and continue working on our vision to become Europe’s leading cocktail brand.

Who are we looking for 🔎

As an Account Manager Horeca it is your mission to grow and manage WEEKEND's horeca & event channel, by taking full ownership over existing customers and prospecting of new customers.

What does this role entail? 🎁

As Account Manager Horeca, you will:

• Acquire & retain customers: you'll be laser focused on acquiring new customers in the field on a daily basis, with a focus on restaurants, hotels, and bars. While hunting for new customers, you maintain strong relationships with existing customers and seek upselling opportunities.
• Organise tastings & trainings. Our cocktails sell themselves, your only job is to get them on people's lips. You'll organise frequent tastings and staff trainings at our customer's venues, and attend our yearly trade shows. Little cocktail shaking skills? No worries, we'll make you a real bartender in no time!
• Build and manage wholesaler relationships. In order to get our cocktails to our beloved customers, we rely on our wholesaler partners to deliver the goods. On top of that, great wholesaler relationships will bring in more sales because they become our ambassadors.
• Keep your admin clean. You'll be handling incoming leads for your region, transfer new orders to our back office, make sure your CRM is up to date, and report to our head of sales during our weekly sales meeting.

What do we expect from you? 👋

• A bachelor's degree and at least 2 years of sales experience or in a similar role
• You get energy from being on the road and making contact with new prospects and existing customers on a daily basis
• You possess an ‘I can do anything’ mindset, work independently and take initiatives to make improvements
• You are commercially minded, persuasive and results-oriented
• You are a good listener and possess profound verbal and written communication skills
• You can thrive in a scale-up environment where everything is constantly evolving and where flexibility in working hours is needed
• Bartending skills is a big plus

What do we have to offer? 🤝

• You get a competitive salary & yearly performance-based bonus
• You get a benefits package including a car, laptop, mobile phone, daily allowance, free parking, hospitalisation insurance, meal vouchers, eco cheques
• You get 30 days off per year - we like to work hard, but also play hard
• We give stock options to all employees, making us all shareholders of WEEKEND
• You get €200 per month to spend at customer’s & prospect’s venues
