Sales Business Development Manager

The objective is to close the deal. That sounds a bit Wall Street so let us rephrase: you will be responsible for guiding the client to a tailor-made bike plan. In consultation with Joule’s founders, you will advise on customer-offer fit, product selection and pricing. The geographic area is Belgium, the prospects are SME and corporate companies.

You will be working closely with the full team, CMO and the Content Marketeer in a joint effort to convince as many employers as possible of the added value of the company bike. After closing, you will pass the deal to the Customer Success Managers, who will be in charge of implementation and activation.

Our bicycles are sustainable, functional, healthy and fiscally interesting, our account executives are trustworthy, client-minded and always able to help our dearest customers. Are you the new member for our team? Let's find out!

🏬 Joule

Joule is a B2B Bicycle provider. Bicycle Provider? Well, we execute bike plans for companies and public organizations. The objective of such plan is either to optimize commuting (e.g. salary bike leasing) or to support daily operations (pool bikes or cargo bikes). We don’t only shape the plan, we also execute it. As an official dealer of over 20 brands we have our own operational teams. One could say we deliver bike plan from concept to bike maintenance, and we do so with a lot of energy and the customer at heart.

Joule was founded in 2018 and has been growing rapidly ever since. At the beginning of 2022, Lab Box, D'Ieteren's start-up studio, put its weight behind Joule, so that we can now shift up a gear.

Our values are:

• Stakeholder Intimacy: we collaborate sustainably with our colleagues, clients and suppliers  

• Fun but functional: doing the right thing and doing it right, with a good laugh along the way
• Transparency
