ABOUT CURAFYT
Curafyt is a fast-growing Belgian scale-up in animal health, developing science-backed natural supplements for horses and dogs. Founded by a veterinarian, our mission is to combine science, transparency, and sustainability to create supplements that genuinely improve equine and canine wellbeing. Our tagline says it best: Natural health by vets.
We are already trusted by 800+ veterinarians and 30,000+ animal caretakers across Belgium, the Netherlands, and France. The Netherlands is a key market in our next growth phase, so we are looking for motivated salespeople who love big challenges.
THE ROLE
As a Sales Representative for the Netherlands, you will be the face of Curafyt on the ground, building and nurturing relationships with veterinarians, equine physiotherapists and stable owners across the country. You'll split your time between winning new accounts and (over time) growing existing ones, spending most of your week on the road visiting clients at their practices and yards.
This is a high-ownership, field-based role with a clear mission: put Curafyt on the map in the Netherlands. You won't be following a rigid script: you'll have the autonomy to build your own territory, establish your own rhythms, and make a direct commercial impact in one of Europe's largest equine markets. You will be supported by Dutch marketing materials, online advertisements in the Netherlands promoting our products, and you will receive training from our Dutch-speaking team.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Business Development & Prospecting
* Actively prospect and acquire new clients across the Dutch equine and veterinary channel, including veterinary practices, equine physiotherapists and well-run stables
* Build a strong, structured pipeline and manage it from first contact through to close
* Represent Curafyt at equine trade fairs, industry events, and sector conferences across the Netherlands
* Identify and develop relationships with key opinion leaders (KOLs) in the Dutch equine and veterinary community
Account Management
* Manage and grow a portfolio of Dutch accounts (veterinarians and stables), ensuring high satisfaction, retention, and upsell opportunities
* Deliver tailored commercial and scientific product advice to clients and prospects based on their specific needs and animal profiles
* Support product launches and marketing campaigns with on-the-ground activation in your territory
* Provide structured field feedback to the marketing and product teams on client needs, competitor activity, and market trends
Reporting & Collaboration
* Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of client interactions, pipeline status, and sales activity in CRM.
* Report regularly on territory performance, including revenue, new accounts, and key commercial metrics
* Collaborate closely with your manager and the Belgian-based team on commercial strategy, product training, and cross-market initiatives
