Are you a Strategy Consultant in private equity or a Business Developer within Retail? Do you want to work for a successful, fast expanding international retailer? At Action we offer you the opportunity to become part of our energetic Business Development team and play an important role in our overall growth and efficiency of our company!

Your everyday tasks and responsibilities as a Business Developer

Our Business Development team is responsible for working alongside the business, provide internal consultancy and facilitate on strategic projects. The team currently consists of three colleagues. Due to an internal promotion we are searching for a colleague to join our team.

As a Business Developer you act as the linking pin between Business Development and the different functional areas in the organization in order to successfully carry out projects. You also provide meaningful support within the Business Development team and to the CEO and CFO.

In addition you will perform analysis and write reports regarding market developments, competition and strategic priorities, and contribute in the annual strategic planning cycle.

You will focus on the following areas:

Project Management

  • Create plans of action, in conjunction with the business, on the larger strategic initiatives and changes. Ensure action plans are implemented, discuss and report on the progress to stakeholders.
  • Translate topics from concept into actions for colleagues and teams to speed up their progress and ensure actual implementation of changes.
  • Responsible for project management in multidisciplinary and complex project teams and driving the decision making process.

Strategy

  • Provide insights in the defined strategies and budgets, determine the potential consequences and report on it.
  • Initiate, monitor and check progress on strategic priorities within the company.

What characterizes a Business Developer at Action

The Business Developer we’re looking for is able to think at an abstract level and demonstrates a high level of pragmatism and flexibility! You are confident in making proposals for the efficient design of processes and you actively identify the wishes and needs of the internal customer and deliver (where possible) even more or quicker than was agreed. Being organized is a must; you are able to structure activities and projects and stick to agreements within deadlines.

Besides that we require:

  • Academic degree in combination with 4-7 years of relevant working experience in strategy consulting, private equity and/or project positions within the business. Experience in Retail is strongly preferred!
  • Excellent knowledge of Dutch and English language and also excellent PowerPoint skills.

Working at Action is different to working anywhere else. No other retail experience can compare to what we do, how we do it and what we offer. We are the most successful and fastest growing retailer in Europe. Our teams are our greatest asset, and we firmly believe that Action’s success is rooted in offering them a great place to work. That means creating a great culture: a place of collaboration, purpose, role-modelling, trust, discipline, challenge, customer centricity and ambition. This is not ‘just another job’, but about being part of one of the most dynamic retail environments in Europe, about building a future for yourself and joining a culture of opportunity.

Besides that we offer a market-based salary based on a 38-hour working week with a company and performance bonus, long term incentive bonus, laptop, telephone and 15% staff discount on your purchases from Action.
