Energy Business Partner for East Flanders
1. Do you want to make an impact in the energy world?
Would you like to use your business experience and energy expertise to truly help companies move forward? At Odot, you’ll help build smart and cost-effective energy solutions: from procurement strategy and contract negotiation to energy management, renewable energy, batteries, and flexibility. You’ll do this as part of an independent organization where customer focus, entrepreneurship, innovation, and a positive mindset are central.
2. About your role
Asan Energy Business Partner, you’ll be responsible for Odot’s commercial expansion in East Flanders. You’ll actively develop new client relationships, build your own sales pipeline, and guide opportunities from the initial contact through to the signing of the partnership agreement. In doing so, you’ll combine strong sales skills with sufficient energy expertise to provide credible advice at the management and executive levels. You’ll work closely with Odot’s Energy Management Team on the detailed planning and execution of these initiatives.
3. What will you do:
Developing new clients: You’ll actively identify opportunities with companies in East Flanders and strategically expand your client portfolio.
Managing the sales pipeline: You’ll independently build a high-quality pipeline, systematically follow up on opportunities, and convert them into concrete partnerships and revenue.
Leading the sales process: You take ownership of prospecting, needs analysis, proposal development, negotiation, and closing.
Advising clients: You translate their specific energy needs into a concrete, profitable, and sustainable partnership.
Building relationships: You maintain close contact with existing customers and develop long-term, sustainable partnerships.
Representing Odot: You’ll engage in discussions at the management and executive levels and take the initiative in regional networks, events, and partnerships.
Achieving results together: You’ll work closely with the Director of Business Development and the Energy Management Team. Depending on your expertise, additional substantive assignments may also be arranged.
4. Your profile
We are looking for an enterprising sales professional who opens doors, builds trust, and effectively turns opportunities into lasting customer relationships. An existing network is important, but you also draw energy from actively prospecting and developing new contacts.
You recognize yourself in this profile:
Commercial acumen: You have at least five years of experience in B2B sales, business development, or entrepreneurship, and a proven track record in prospecting, solution selling, negotiations, and closing deals.
Relevant market knowledge: You have experience in energy supply, flexibility, renewable energy, technical installations, energy consulting, industrial services, or a related sector.
Regional network: You have relevant contacts among business leaders and decision-makers in East Flanders, preferably in at least one of the following subregions: the Ghent Canal Zone (North Sea Port), the Waasland, the Dender Region, or the Flemish Ardennes.
Entrepreneurial mindset: You want to take responsibility for your own business and are willing to take on this role on a self-employed basis. You don’t have to be self-employed right now.
Business acumen: You have strong analytical skills, understand numbers and a P&L, and can convincingly present an energy strategy and business case.
Professional persuasiveness: You earn trust through substantive credibility, an honest approach, and strong communication at the management and executive levels.
Language and collaboration: You are fluent in Dutch, work independently, and enjoy collaborating with a professional team. Knowledge of French and English is a plus.
5. What we offer
Odot is a dynamic and growing SME, backed by its shareholder, BDO Belgium. You’ll have the freedom to build your own regional business, with the expertise, services, and professional support of an experienced Energy Management Team behind you.
Business Opportunity: an independent commercial role in which you’ll directly contribute to Odot’s growth in East Flanders.
Attractive compensation model: a competitive fixed base compensation for the agreed-upon partnership, supplemented by performance-based variable compensation.
Professional support: access to Odot’s brand, range of services, systems, and expertise, with the option to work from our office in Schoten, the BDO office in Melle, or from home.
Growth prospects: the opportunity to take on greater responsibility and, if the collaboration is successful, to eventually become a partner.
