Foodservice Sales Manager

About Nomet:

Nomet is a young, innovative startup with a clear mission: to bring more seaweed-based food concepts to the menu across Europe, with a first focus on Belgium.

Why? Because seaweed is delicious, nutritious, affordable and sustainable — the perfect combination for successful food concepts. We develop, sell, and market savory seaweed-based snacks. Our first success story, the seaweed croquette, is already available in Belgian supermarkets and featured on foodservice menus. But we’re only just getting started — we’re busy developing new seaweed products to bring the taste of the sea to even more people. At Nomet, everything revolves around ambition, creativity, and collaboration. We’re building something new — with passion, crisp ideas, and a healthy dose of entrepreneurial spirit.

Your role:

As Foodservice Sales Manager, you are responsible for building, expanding and strengthening our sales within the foodservice sector. You play a key role in driving growth through close collaboration with distributors and key accounts.

Tasks and responsibilities:

· Manage and develop distributor relationships:

You build strong partnerships and make clear and success-oriented agreements with distributors, and you actively support them in marketing our products.

· Drive sales with end customers:

You visit key foodservice clients to introduce our products and boost sales.

· Organize product presentations and tastings:

You introduce customers to our seaweed products through demos and tastings, highlighting their unique features and benefits next to the commercial and ‘positioning’ possibilities of our product range for them.

· Train distributor sales representatives:

You ensure that our partners’ sales reps are well-informed about our product portfolio and equipped to sell effectively.

· Identify new business opportunities:

You monitor market trends and channel developments, and act on new opportunities and market/concepts combinations for solid growth and expansion.
