Accelerator of international success and cross-border growth

Your impact on our customers

At Bol.com, we transform retail to simplify the daily lives of 13 million customers. Together with 49,000 partners, we offer a selection of 38 million products, 60% of which are provided by our partners. Now we are focusing on top e-commerce players outside of Europe to further strengthen and enhance our offering. You are the driving force behind this ambition.

Your challenge

In a rapidly evolving e-tail landscape, you are the one seizing these commercial opportunities for bol. You onboard international (non-EU) top e-commerce players, strengthen our platform, and ensure long-lasting partnerships. With your market expertise, strategic insight and persuasive power, you make a difference.

What you will do as a New Business Developer Non-EU

  • Explore and analyse the market using bol data and your own network, collaborating with external parties such as agencies.
  • Select international (non-EU) top e-commerce players that meet our high standards for assortment, quality, and price.
  • Open doors, negotiate, and persuade players to join using consultative selling techniques, while maintaining bol’s ambition to offer a high-quality product range.
  • Collaborate with various bol teams and external stakeholders to optimize the acquisition funnel.
  • Guide partners during their onboarding process and support them in achieving their growth ambitions.
  • Deliver measurable results in new business projects that contribute to our international expansion.

Why you make the difference

  • You are a commercial strategist with international experience, preferably in an online environment.
  • You have a proven track record (5+ years) as a Sales Manager, Business Developer, or Category Manager in an international commercial setting.
  • You are knowledgeable about the Chinese market and fluent in Business Mandarin and English.
  • You know how to turn insights into inspiring proposals that drive action.
  • Persuasiveness, excellent communication skills, and perseverance are second nature to you.

What makes this role unique?

  • You are part of the team laying the foundation for bol’s international growth.
  • You onboard experienced international top e-commerce players who not only strengthen our assortment and pricing but also embrace our brand values.
  • You build bridges between bol, our partners, and our customers for sustainable collaboration and ensure a successful start for these partners.

3 reasons why this is (not) for you

Why it is:

  • Thriving in a Fast-Paced Sales Environment
  • You excel in dynamic sales settings and bring an HBO or Master’s level of expertise.
  • Master of Persuasion
  • You have the skills to overcome objections and inspire action with ease.
  • Champion of International Collaboration
  • You understand how to engage and excite international partners to join bol.

Why it may not be:

  • Solo Worker in a Team-Driven World
  • You prefer working alone and find collaboration with diverse stakeholders challenging.
  • Reluctant Salesperson
  • You see sales conversations in international settings as a burden rather than an opportunity.
  • Resistant to Change and Innovation
  • You are hesitant to embrace new techniques, strategies, or cultural adaptability.

Your team and environment

As a New Business Developer Non-EU, you’ll work in an ambitious team of ten NBD specialists and report to the Lead Non-EU Network Development. Together with nearly 3,000 colleagues, you contribute to building a better platform for a better future.
