Young Graduate Program - Sales Track

Young Graduate Program – Sales Track

BEL Belgium – Start your career with iconic brands

At BEL, we believe that the best leaders start by understanding the business from the ground.

That’s why we created our Young Graduate Program – Sales Track: an opportunity for ambitious graduates to launch their career in a fast-moving consumer goods company with strong brands like La Vache Qui Rit, Maredsous, Mini Babybel, Boursin and Kiri.

This program is designed to develop the future leaders of BEL. It offers a unique opportunity for young graduates to first gain two years of field experience "on the road", allowing them to understand the dynamics of sales and build strong foundations. After this initial phase, the ultimate ambition is for participants to transition into a strategic office function within our Business Unit in Braine-l'Alleud.

Your journey at BEL

You will start your career on the field, where the business really happens.

For 12 to 36 months, you will work as a Sales Representative, managing a portfolio of customers in Retail and OOH (Out Of Home) channels.

During this time, you will:

• Develop strong commercial and negotiation skills
• Learn how the Retail and OOH markets operate
• Drive sales growth and in-store / in-location execution
• Build long-term relationships with customers
• Collaborate closely with marketing, category management and supply chain teams
• Gain a deep understanding of our brands, products and consumers
• This experience will give you the foundations to grow within BEL.

After this first phase, high-performing participants will have the opportunity to move into a first office-based role, depending on their interests and strengths.

Possible next steps include roles in:

• Sales
