Job Description

The welcoming face and organizational powerhouse behind our international commercial team. Are you the energetic, representative all-rounder who thrives in an international environment? Do you get energized by turning chaos into structure, going the extra mile for global clients, and ensuring everything behind the scenes (and at trade shows) is arranged down to the last detail? Then we are looking for you! What will you do? In this versatile role, you are the indispensable link between our Sales Managers, Marketing, and our global clients. You bring structure, calm, and a healthy dose of hospitality to the workplace. Sales Support: Empower our Sales Managers by taking the operational load off their shoulders of their daily operational tasks. From preparing client visits and international travel to keeping administration and client follow-ups tight and organized. Events & Trade Shows: You take the lead in practically coordinating, organizing, and setting up our participation in international trade shows and client events. While the substantive marketing is taken care of for you, you ensure everything runs like clockwork on-site. On the exhibition floor and at the office, you are the face of the company and the first point of contact for our international guests. Process Improvement: You look at our commercial support with a fresh perspective. Do you see ways to make things smarter, faster, or more customer-friendly? You take ownership and drive positive change. Who are you? You are not a quota-chasing salesperson, but a commercially savvy organizer with a natural sense of hospitality. You are representative, an exceptionally strong communicator, and switch effortlessly between different cultures and languages (fluent English is a must; Dutch is a nice-to-have). You keep a cool head when juggling multiple priorities at once and spot work that needs doing before anyone else does. You enjoy stepping into the spotlight when welcoming clients and attending trade shows, yet get just as much satisfaction from a well-organized back office. Who are we? At Econowind in Zeewolde, we build a cleaner future every day. With our smart, sustainable wind-assisted propulsion systems (such as our VentoFoils), we make global shipping more sustainable and significantly reduce CO₂ emissions at sea. We are transforming the maritime world from a traditional industry into a cleaner, future-proof sector. You will join a committed, ambitious, and growing team with short lines of communication, where your ideas, organizational talent, and fresh perspective directly make a difference. No stuffy office culture or complicated layers, but an open and dynamic environment where we roll up our sleeves together and celebrate successes. From Zeewolde, you will contribute to a tangible, global mission with colleagues and clients from Europe to Asia. What do you bring? Bachelor’s (HBO) working or thinking level and relevant experience in a supportive, organizational, or coordinating role (for example within sales support, office management, or event organization). Strong organizational skills: you enjoy bringing structure, maintaining an overview, and staying sharp when a lot is happening at once. A welcoming face and a natural sense of hospitality, both at the office and at (international) trade shows. A practical, hands-on mentality: you like to roll up your sleeves, including during the preparation and setup of events. Excellent command of both the Dutch and English languages, spoken and written. Flexibility and willingness to occasionally travel to (international) trade shows and client events. Interested? Send your CV and cover letter to [email protected]
