We are looking for…
… a commercially driven and strategically minded Gifting Partnership Manager, who, together with our Gift Manager, shares responsibility for further expanding, optimizing, and structuring our gifting assortment.
On the one hand, you actively contribute to selecting and onboarding new vendors for physical gifts on our platform; on the other, you help grow our network of partners behind our gift voucher offering. You also act as an expert in our gifting strategy: you know the capabilities of our vendors inside and out, and you use that knowledge both strategically and practically to advise clients, prospects, and colleagues on the right gift at the right time.
In short: you actively help shape our future-proof gifting portfolio – from selecting new vendors and partners to negotiating commercial terms, developing custom gift projects, and analyzing margins.
Where you’ll make a difference
- Vendor & partner development – You actively seek out new gift partners (products & gift vouchers), negotiate margins and terms, and coordinate their onboarding. You also maintain and strengthen existing relationships.
- Custom projects – Together with Sales and their Gift Expert, you develop creative, tailor-made gift proposals for our B2B clients and manage these projects from briefing to delivery.
- Commercial insights & optimization – You monitor margins and the performance of our assortment, and based on your findings, propose improvements or expansions to the gift portfolio.
- Process optimization & efficiency – You proactively contribute ideas on how to improve our processes, tools, and presentations to enable faster and more compelling proposals.
- Collaboration & alignment – You work closely with our Gift Manager and other teams within Kadonation, and you coordinate our remote editors to keep the platform offering up to date.
You in a nutshell
- You have strong commercial flair and feel at home in a context where product, customer, and business come together.
- You are analytically minded and base decisions on margin, data, and market insights.
- You are a strong communicator, fluent in both Dutch and English. French is a nice plus.
- You work accurately and independently, but also enjoy collaborating with others.
- You are proactive, solution-oriented, and not afraid to take ownership.
- You have a keen eye for detail without losing sight of the bigger picture.
- You have (at least some) experience in category management, procurement, or sales.
- You’re comfortable working with Excel or other analytical tools, and eager to learn new systems quickly.
