Account Manager

Senior Account Manager - Engineering (Ghent, Belgium)

Location: Ghent Multinational Engineering Group

Full-time Fast Track to Business Unit Manager & Beyond

Up to €8,500 gross/month depending on experience

Are you ready to take the next big step in your engineering career - one that blends leadership, strategy, and people with a technical foundation?

We're hiring a Senior Account Manager to lead our operations in Ghent for a multinational engineering business active across Belgium, the Netherlands, and broader Europe. With over 130 employees in Belgium alone, we combine the best of both worlds: technical consultancy and high-end machine building. This dual focus keeps the work dynamic, challenging, and full of opportunity.

With the recent departure of the local Business Manager, this is a high-impact role with real autonomy and visibility - offering a clear pathway toward Business Unit Manager and potentially up to C-level leadership within our international group.

What You'll Do:

• Lead and grow the Ghent business unit - managing operations, clients, consultants, and project delivery
• Be the face of the company for your region: manage client relationships, pitch new business, and ensure delivery excellence
• Make key hiring decisions, lead interviews, and shape your own team
• Develop and execute sales and growth strategies while staying close to the technical side
• Collaborate across Belgian and European offices, with regular exposure to other business units and leadership teams
• Be part of shaping the future - both locally and at group level

️ What You Bring:

• A technical background in electro-mechanical engineering or similar (must-have)
• Experience in sales, account management, or project leadership in a technical context
• 10+ years of experience, ideally 15-20, with a strong foundation in engineering
• Fluent in Dutch, with English and French as strong assets
• A people-first mindset - you enjoy mentoring, leading, and building strong teams
• Entrepreneurial spirit with the ambition to move into senior leadership/C-level roles over time

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a stable, growing multinational with multiple offices in Belgium, the Netherlands, and across Europe
• Lead a business unit with real influence and autonomy
• Exposure to both consultancy and machine-building projects
• Step into a strategic leadership role with fast-track potential to Business Unit Manager and beyond
• Work with a talented, passionate team in a culture that values people and performance
• Competitive salary package up to €8,500 gross/month, based on experience

If you're looking for more than just another job - if you're looking for real leadership, real impact, and real growth - then we'd love to meet you.

Apply now and take your career to the next level with a business that's built for the future.
