Account Manager – High Tech (Integrated Photonics)

(English version below)

Taakomschrijving

Voor LioniX International te Enschede zoekt Commercieel Nederland een accountmanager high-tech die zich thuis voelt op het snijvlak van techniek en commercie. Geen snelle deals of koude acquisitie, maar het bouwen aan duurzame klantrelaties binnen een innovatieve en internationale high-techomgeving. 

De organisatie

LioniX International is een toonaangevende speler binnen de wereld van fotonica en microsysteemtechnologie. Vanuit Enschede werkt een team van circa 70 specialisten aan maatwerkoplossingen op het gebied van photonic integrated circuits (PIC’s). 

In tegenstelling tot veel andere partijen levert LioniX geen standaardproducten, maar volledig geïntegreerde oplossingen: van ontwerp tot en met geassembleerde modules. Klanten bevinden zich in sectoren zoals telecom, defensie, ruimtevaart en high-tech OEM. 

De organisatie kenmerkt zich door: 

  • Hoog technologisch niveau  
  • Sterke internationale focus  
  • Informele en professionele werksfeer  
  • Korte lijnen en veel samenwerking  

De functie

Als accountmanager high-tech ben je verantwoordelijk voor het volledige commerciële traject. Je begeleidt klanten van eerste contact tot en met succesvolle realisatie van projecten. 

Je rol is nadrukkelijk relationeel en inhoudelijk. Je werkt met warme en lauwe leads en vertaalt complexe technische vraagstukken naar concrete oplossingen. 

Je houdt je o.a. bezig met: 

  • Opbouwen en onderhouden van duurzame klantrelaties  
  • Begeleiden van het volledige salesproces (van lead tot deal)  
  • Opstellen en opvolgen van offertes  
  • Afstemming met engineers en business development over technische haalbaarheid  
  • Commerciële bewaking van lopende projecten (budget, voortgang, meerwerk)  
  • Vertegenwoordigen van de organisatie op internationale beurzen (circa 4x per jaar)  

Je werkt nauw samen met de Business Developer en lead engineers. Binnen het team staat samenwerking centraal, geen individuele targets, maar een gezamenlijke verantwoordelijkheid. 

Wie ben jij?

Je bent een technisch onderlegde accountmanager die begrijpt hoe complexe oplossingen verkocht worden. 

Je herkent jezelf in het volgende profiel: 

  • HBO+/WO werk- en denkniveau, bij voorkeur in een technische richting (bijv. Natuurkunde of Elektrotechniek)  
  • Minimaal 3 jaar commerciële ervaring binnen een technische B2B-omgeving  
  • In staat om technische materie snel te doorgronden en te vertalen naar klantwaarde  
  • Sterk in relatiebeheer en communicatie  
  • Gestructureerd en in staat om lange salestrajecten te managen  
  • Proactief, representatief en een echte teamspeler  
  • Vloeiend in Nederlands en Engels  
  • Woonachtig op bereisbare afstand van Enschede  

Pre: 

  • Ervaring binnen high-tech, semiconductor, telecom, defensie of aerospace  
  • Ervaring met complexe en langdurige salescycli  

Wat wordt geboden?

  • Jaarsalaris tussen €65k en €75k (afhankelijk van ervaring)  
  • Collectieve teambonus tot circa 20%  
  • Dienstverband van 32–40 uur per week  
  • Jaarcontract met uitzicht op vast  
  • State-of-the-art systemen 
  • Veel vrijheid van handelen 
  • Alle ruimte om te komen met ideeën  
  • Goede pensioen- en verzekeringsregeling  
  • Internationale exposure (beurzen en klanten)  
  • Informele werksfeer met korte lijnen
