Medior / Senior Account Manager Smart Industry 

About HeadFirst Group 

HeadFirst Group is a leading international service provider in the field of external hiring and workforce solutions. We help organizations maintain control of an increasingly complex labor market by intelligently connecting talent, technology, and services. From MSP and broker services to staffing and strategic advice. 

Within Smart Industry, we collaborate with organizations in logistics and transport, retail, manufacturing, and software development, among others. These are sectors where technological innovation, talent scarcity, and scalability converge. We explicitly position ourselves as a knowledge partner that looks beyond today and works with clients to build future-proof hiring and workforce solutions. 

Working at HeadFirst Group means working in an entrepreneurial environment where ownership, collaboration, and making an impact are key. 

The role 

As a Medior or Senior Account Manager Smart Industry, you will be responsible for the strategic management and expansion of accounts within the Smart Industry sector. You will work with organizations that are active in Industry 5.0 and act as their commercial and substantive point of contact in the field of external hiring and workforce solutions. 

The focus within this role is on deepening and broadening existing customer relationships. There is great commercial potential within Smart Industry. Many organizations are currently working with relatively limited volumes, while the need for specialized professionals is structurally increasing. You know how to recognize this potential and translate it into sustainable commercial growth. 

You operate at a tactical and strategic level and have a clear ambition to conduct C-level discussions. You understand clients' hiring strategies and know how to translate these into appropriate propositions, ranging from broker and MSP light constructions to more complex MSP processes. Depending on your seniority, the emphasis will be on tactical account management or on the strategic development of key accounts and sector-wide growth. 

What are you going to do? 

You manage and develop accounts within the Smart Industry sector and develop and implement account and growth strategies. You advise clients on external hiring strategies, market developments, and scarcity within their sector. You conduct commercial and strategic discussions at the tactical and executive levels and work toward structural positioning at the C-level. 

In addition, you will focus on quality, performance, and customer satisfaction, and you will work closely with recruitment, sales, and operations to successfully realize propositions. Depending on your seniority, you will contribute to sector strategy, supervise MSP processes, and coach colleagues within the account team. 

In everything you do, position HeadFirst Group as a strategic knowledge partner within Smart Industry. 

What you get from us 

You will play a key role in a sector with great commercial and substantive potential and plenty of room for entrepreneurship and initiative. You will work with leading clients and can count on strong support from sales, recruitment, and operations. In addition, we offer clear development and career opportunities within HeadFirst Group.
