Job Description

For our Sales team, we're looking for enthusiastic Sales Managers to represent both Octiva and Berkvens Greenhouse Mobility.

 

Are you ready to make a real impact? In this role, you'll take charge by generating your own leads while getting great support from our account managers, marketing initiatives, events, and your personal network. You'll get to promote and sell our combined portfolio — Octiva's advanced robotic systems and Berkvens' greenhouse logistics solutions — directly to growers in your region, and play a key part in expanding our reach!

Your day-to-day will be a mix of phone calls and face-to-face visits with growers in your assigned region, helping you dive deep into their needs and challenges. Together with product experts you will work out the best solution for each customer, drawing on the full Octiva and Berkvens range.

Collaboration is the name of the game here. You'll work closely with our team of sales managers, Marketing and Sales Support. Together, you'll be empowered to deliver top-notch solutions that drive success for our growers—and for Octiva and Berkvens!



Your profile

You're driven, determined, and passionate about what you do—especially when it comes to the greenhouse sector.

Here's what we're looking for:

•       A bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Agriculture, or a related field. Proven experience in sales (bonus points if it's in agri-tech, horticulture equipment, or robotics!).

•       Understanding of greenhouse operations and agricultural practices is a plus.

•       Excellent communicator and people-person.

•       Motivated, result-oriented, and able to thrive both independently and as part of a team.

•       Confident with CRM software and Microsoft Office.

•       Ready and excited to travel to meet growers and attend cool industry events!

•       Fluent in Dutch and English (spoken and written); other languages are a plus.

 

Our offer

A central, hands-on sales role with a combined portfolio, in a fast-growing company with global ambition.

The opportunity to represent both Octiva and Berkvens Greenhouse Mobility and shape the full customer journey from first contact to long-term success.

A dynamic, supportive team culture where initiative and follow-through matter.

Competitive compensation and plenty of room to grow with us!

 

Octiva is a fast-growing robotics company on a mission to help growers succeed through smart automation. In 2025, Octiva acquired Berkvens Greenhouse Mobility, the leading specialist in internal transport solutions for greenhouse horticulture — think scissor lifts, harvesting trolleys and AGVs. Together, we offer growers a complete range of logistics and robotics solutions, combining technical precision with real-world reliability. We work closely with growers, engineers, and researchers to deliver meaningful innovation that transforms agricultural efficiency and sustainability.

We're expanding internationally and building a team of driven, collaborative professionals who want to make a real impact—not just on product performance, but on the lives and success of our customers.

 

Core Responsibilities

You will generate leads and manage the sales process for robotic systems and greenhouse logistics solutions by conducting phone calls and face-to-face visits with growers. You will collaborate with product experts and internal teams to deliver tailored solutions that meet customer needs and drive regional growth.

Requirements

Candidates must hold a bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Agriculture, or a related field and possess proven sales experience. Proficiency in CRM software, Microsoft Office, and fluency in both Dutch and English are required.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation
  • Professional growth opportunities
  • Supportive team culture
