Full-time sales manager
A word from our CCO
“Working at NIKKI is an opportunity to make an impact in the sports market.”
We help sports clubs across the country collect contributions so that they can focus on what really matters: sports, connection and uniting people.
As a Sales Manager, you are at the center of that mission. Your work week? It is anything but standard.
One day, we'll visit an amateur club together to hear their story and see how we can help. The next day, you'll sit at a BVO table to discuss a strategic partnership.
I myself get the most energy from busy days with lots of appointments along the way. Where, for example, I join a networking event with a partner and from there see opportunities that you could not have planned beforehand. That entrepreneurial, that spontaneous, that is what makes working at NIKKI so special.
We are looking for someone who, like me, gets energy from winning.
Someone who does not wait for opportunities to present themselves, but goes looking for himself.
NIKKI is a place for people who love challenge, freedom and responsibility.
You don't have to be able to do it all already, but you have to dare.
Draw your own plan. What if that doesn't work? Then you come up with a new plan.
Don't talk, switch. For yourself, for the team and for the sport.
Enthusiastic? Beautiful. Then I cordially invite you to continue reading.”
— Jordy Jansen, CCO NIKKI
