If you like keeping deals moving instead of managing spreadsheets, this role is for you. At Holland Colours, you’ll be trusted to run your market like it’s your own, with support when you need it, and space when you don’t. With a clear strategy and a proven product line, the growth potential is wide open. You are the momentum-keeper who transforms early lab interest into multi-year supply contracts, leveraging the same disciplined rhythm: visit, sample, quote, proof order. In return, you’ll be rewarded with excellent benefits:
- You receive a salary that reflects your experience, up to €70k.
- Annual bonus of 10%, with potential to double to 20% when targets are exceeded.
- Profit share potential of up to 1.5 months’ salary per year.
- You enjoy 26 vacation days and a pension plan.
- You drive a fully equipped company lease car (including fuel card) or receive a car allowance.
What you’ll be doing
As Sales Manager Coatings & Sealants at Holland Colours, you sell colorant solutions that give manufacturers consistency and stability in production. Your mission is to maintain a proven sealants portfolio while driving new growth in coatings. With your expertise, you’ll be initiating new product introductions and guiding customers through the sales journey. Your responsibilities will include:
- Take ownership of an existing sealants portfolio in the UK, Ireland and Benelux.
- Gradually absorb market knowledge and customer relationships from senior colleagues.
- Identify and develop growth opportunities within existing customers.
- Prospect and convert new customers, particularly in coatings and adjacent markets.
- Represent Holland Colours at customer meetings, technical events and industry forums.
Your talent
As Sales Manager Coatings & Sealants at Holland Colours, you combine commercial drive with technical curiosity. You listen first, ask the right questions, and then act. You’re hungry to win. Not because you have to, but because you want to. In complex customer environments, you stay engaged, responsive and focused until you unlock the next step. This is what you’ll need to bring:
- You bring at least 2 years of experience in B2B sales within sealants, coatings, chemicals, additives, machinery or related industries.
- You understand consultative selling and longer sales cycles.
- You’re confident engaging with technical decision-makers.
- You’re comfortable being the junior voice in the room, and making yourself heard.
The team
Working within the broader EMEIA sales team of 15, you collaborate with both commercial and technical colleagues, reporting directly to the Sales Leader Coatings. An experienced group of 5 specialists is focused on coatings and sealants in Europe. Our compact structure makes room for speed, short communication lines and visible impact.
People are expected to manage their own time, take ownership of their territory, and speak up when it matters. Even while you work remotely for a big portion of your time, no one operates on an island. There are weekly team meetings and virtual roundtables to discuss challenges and share insights.
The culture? Transparent and collaborative, built on trust, not titles. We may be publicly listed, but our culture is anything but corporate. We value open dialogue and collaboration across all levels. If you bring initiative and forward-thinking ideas, you’ll find autonomy and support waiting for you.
