About the Company: Anker SOLIX is the energy storage brand of Anker Innovations, dedicated to providing energy independence for consumers worldwide. From portable power stations to home energy storage solutions (ESS), we are powering a sustainable future.
About the Role: We are seeking an entrepreneurial and results-driven Sales Manager based in Belgium to spearhead the rapid expansion of Anker SOLIX in the French-speaking regions (Wallonia and Brussels). As a key member of the local team, you will be responsible for developing new channels, managing distributor relationships, and executing our Go-to-Market strategy to establish a strong footprint in the local market.
Responsibilities:
* Market Expansion: Lead the sales strategy and execution for Anker SOLIX products in French-speaking Belgium, driving rapid market penetration and brand visibility.
* Channel Development: Identify, prospect, and close new B2C and retail channels. Build strong partnerships with key retailers and distributors (experience with channels like Coolblue, Maxeda, etc., is highly valued).
* Distributor Management: Manage and optimize existing distributor relationships, handling negotiations, pricing, and inventory planning to ensure sales targets are met.
* Relationship Building: Quickly establish and maintain trust-based relationships with key decision-makers and stakeholders in the local market.
* Local Strategy: Leverage deep understanding of the local market to adapt sales tactics.
Qualifications:
* Location: Belgium
* Language Skills: Native/Fluent French is mandatory for local communication; proficient English is required for internal reporting and collaboration.
* Industry Experience: Proven sales experience in Energy Storage (ESS), Home Energy, or Consumer Electronics (CE). Candidates with deep resources in Benelux distribution channels are preferred.
* Functional Skills: Strong background in B2C channel expansion, distributor management, and commercial negotiation.
* Mindset: Possess an entrepreneurial spirit with high stress tolerance. We need a "hunter" who can work proactively in a fast-paced environment, not a passive account manager.
Preferred Skills:
* Network: Existing relationships with key retailers such as Coolblue, Maxeda, MediaMarkt, etc.
* Technical Knowledge: Experience in PV (Photovoltaics) or ESS distribution.
* Policy Insight: Familiarity with Belgium (and Netherlands) energy policies, government subsidies, and the installation ecosystem.
What We Are Not Looking For:
* Candidates who cannot communicate fluently in French.
* Candidates with only B2B technical sales backgrounds or those used to "passive sales" roles in large, slow-moving enterprises. We need proactive market developers.
What We Offer:
* Opportunity to work with a world-leading consumer electronics brand.
* Competitive salary and performance-based commission.
* A dynamic, fast-growing environment in the renewable energy sector.
