You & Your Role

Will you be the indispensable force that seamlessly connects local sales activities in the cities with central strategy and resources? As a Local Sales Activation Manager at Rabobank, you’ll drive commercial success in one of five major cities: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, or Eindhoven. You’ll not only bring structure to the overall sales and marketing activities in the cities; you’ll launch complex, groundbreaking sales and marketing initiatives that increase Rabobank’s visibility and commercial impact. Think big: create events and content that leave a lasting impression, discover untapped channels, and take the conversion rate of local activations to unprecedented levels. Are you ready to make a difference and strengthen our commercial impact in your city? This is your chance to make a difference where it matters most.

Real-world examples

• Organizing local sales activities that directly contribute to achieving commercial objectives;
• Leveraging new offline and online marketing channels to increase Rabobank’s visibility in the city;
• Creating structure in local activities so that they align more closely with central objectives and we can enhance the impact of these activities.

• Bringing structure to local sales and marketing activities and aligning local teams with central strategies and resources to strengthen the commercial impact of local operations.
• Developing and implementing innovative local content, events, and activations that help increase sales and visibility in the city.
• Identifying and leveraging new partnerships and marketing channels that are not currently being utilized, with the aim of increasing our local impact.

You will be part of the Cooperative Banking segment and will work closely with the Rabobank director in a specific city: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, or Eindhoven. You will also work closely with the Urban Content & Activation Marketer at Chapter Marketing and the MCC Lead (your direct supervisor). In addition, you will be part of an overarching community where you, your fellow Local Sales Activation Managers, and others dedicated to urban growth exchange experiences and initiatives. This “urban growth” community will consist of approximately 25 FTE.

We believe in the power of diversity. It is precisely by bringing together people’s unique talents, backgrounds, and perspectives that we become an even better bank. We are therefore eager to see what you can bring to our team of Local Sales Activation Managers.
