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
