Sales Manager Belux

Why we are here

Tony’s Chocolonely is committed to ending exploitation in cocoa. We are an impact company that makes chocolate, not a chocolate company that makes impact. With incredibly tasty chocolate, we lead by example, demonstrating that ethical practices and success can go hand in hand. Through Tony's Open Chain (TOC), mission allies like Albert Heijn, Ben & Jerry's, Jokolade, and Aldi have embraced a fairer, more transparent supply chain for their chocolate too.

What you will do

As our Sales Manager Belux, you are the end-to-end owner of Tony’s business in Belgium and Luxembourg. You act as an entrepreneurial market lead and Tony’s ambassador, shaping and executing the commercial strategy while building momentum and accelerating sustainable growth in this next phase.

You combine strategic leadership with hands-on execution and a strong sense of energy, translating market insights into action, visibility, and new opportunities. You naturally build networks, show up, and put Tony’s on the map, deepening relationships with key retailers like Carrefour, Delhaize, and Colruyt, while strengthening our presence in the wider market.

You are accountable for building the commercial strategy, owning key negotiations, and driving the full sales cycle, from forecasting and planning to in-store execution. You work closely with internal HQ teams across marketing, finance, and operations, and play a key role in aligning Belux priorities.

Additionally, you lead and grow the Belux setup, managing one direct report in the role of Account Manager OOH Belux and coordinating an external field sales team, while creating a high-performing and engaged environment.

Reporting to the Head of Sales Benelux, you represent Belux within the broader B&B (Benelux & Beyond) organization and act as a key stakeholder in cross-functional decision-making.
