Want to work in a fast-growing market with a positive impact on the environment, vitality and mobility? Then you are the Account Manager Brussels & Wallonia we are looking for!

As Account Manager at Lease a Bike, you will oversee our sales activities, employing both a service- and results-oriented approach. You will help inform potential clients about how bike leasing could be of added value to their companies and employees. With your networking and negotiating skills, you know how to captivate clients and create long-standing, fruitful partnerships. In addition to excellent commercial and communication skills, we are looking for someone who is capable of working autonomously, while also proactively suggesting ways we can improve as a company. At Lease a Bike, our close-knit team is responsible for shaping the company’s overall strategy and operational activities. A new colleague with a real entrepreneurial spirit would fit the bill perfectly!

• Reflecting on our overall sales strategy and advising on new channels to explore;
• Supporting clients in making sure that their employees actually get on their bikes;
• Showing a thorough understanding of both DMUs and the various interests at stake.

What are we looking for?

With an ambitious team of 16 colleagues, we are aiming to at least double, even triple, our business within the next year. This is your unique chance to step up and play an important role in this growth. Come and join the ride!

You are an ideal candidate if:

• Networking is something that comes naturally to you. You are able to identify the needs of both existing and new contacts;
• You are highly commercially driven, have a passion for growth and a high degree of independence and entrepreneurship;
• You are French speaking, although we do also expect you to be able to communicate in Dutch and English.

What we can offer you?

A challenging role, with significant impact on a young start-up, all with the advantages of having a parent company like Pon. You will also receive:

• An attractive salary depending on level of education and experience;
• An annual sales bonus;
• A company car from one of Pon’s trusted partners (VW, Audi, Seat or Skoda);
• Five additional holiday days per year;
• Added extras include a laptop, mobile phone, meal vouchers, group insurance and hospital medical expenses, as well as a contribution towards a nice lease bike from one of Pon’s trusted partners;

• The option of hybrid working, splitting your time between working in the office and working from home;
• Last but not least, a great deal of fun as part of a great team!
