Build the future of Chocolate World in its home market
Antwerp, HQ + Europe
Premium chocolate equipment and moulds
We hire for mindset, not years
A rare opportunity to shape grow Belgian Chocolate Heritage around Europe
Chocolate World is a Belgian reference in high end chocolate moulds, machines, and tools, trusted by some of the world’s most demanding chocolatiers, pastry chefs, and brands.
We operate globally, but Europe is our most strategic playground, mature, fragmented, full of opportunity, and still largely untapped in terms of structure and ambition.
We are looking for someone who does not just want to manage a region, but who wants to build it.
This role is about ownership, intensity, and impact.
There is no fixed playbook, you will help write it.
Your mission
Drive and accelerate our growth across Europe
Build deep, long term relationships with key distributors, chefs, and partners
Identify opportunities others do not see, and turn them into concrete actions
Act as a central force between markets and HQ
Bring structure, focus, and ambition to how we approach Europe
Who we’re looking for
We are not optimizing for a CV, we are optimizing for energy, ownership, and mindset.
You are someone who:
Takes ownership and thrives in responsibility
Has an entrepreneurial drive, you create momentum, you do not wait for it
Combines structured thinking with the ability to move fast in imperfect conditions
Is comfortable operating across cultures and markets
Is willing to travel frequently, this role happens in the field, not behind a desk
Builds trust naturally, from factory floors to top chefs
This role can fit
a high potential early career profile ready to accelerate fast
or a more experienced profile looking for real ownership and impact
What makes this role different
You shape a key region for a growing international company
You get real autonomy, and real expectations
Your impact is visible, direct, and meaningful
You are anchored in a strong Belgian company with global ambition
You will be on the ground, meeting clients, partners, and opportunities across Europe
This is not a 9 to 5 role. xphnsxz
This is for someone who wants to build something and see it grow.
