There it is!
Your new job as Regional/Relationship Manager Energy Transition at our fast-growing company in the sustainable renovation of homes. You see yourself as a commercial idealist, and your #1 goal in this role is to position, advise and sell our services to municipalities, with whom we together increase our sustainability impact.
What you will do
In this very rewarding role, you are ultimately responsible for the growth and satisfaction of your municipalities. Not flat sales, but building long-term strategic relationships and making an impact together with our clients as a partner in collaboration! You work together in a market team with project managers and are an expert at building lasting relationships, managing stakeholders, you know the procurement processes at our clients well, and can think along as an equal partner about how we can help our municipalities make as much impact as possible. On this website you can find which services we carry out on behalf of municipalities.
-
60% Relationship management and assignment acquisition: You are the face of Rel for our municipalities. You build good, strategic relationships and cultivate trust. You know what is happening in our market and help our municipalities through strong analyses and with substance and expertise in accelerating the sustainability of the built environment. You are the one who spontaneously calls to 'check in' and hear how things are going, you regularly visit municipalities and attend relevant events. The lively tablet, not the vacuum tablet. You are also ultimately responsible for commercial targets within your market team. You keep track of your ongoing agreements, step in on complex projects, act promptly on renewals, draft new agreements, and continuously and systematically ensure that we secure signatures for projects. Always with the underlying goal of making (social) impact and saving CO2. Cold sales is not part of this role.
-
20% Strategy and market development: You feed our internal teams with insights from our clients' wishes, identify new opportunities to make our services distinctive, and can brief these to our internal teams and validate them with clients, for example through vibe coding. You are handy with IT tools.
-
20% Coaching and feedback: You coach (formally or informally) colleagues, including in your market team, share knowledge about relationship management and sales, and safeguard the quality of our projects.
Naturally, the above is a guideline. We work in a self-organising way. This means you are responsible for working on the right tasks at the right time (according to agreements and with the most impact).
Your colleagues
You will become part of our relationship management team (also known as the sales & accounts circle) and work closely with our project managers to deliver on client promises. In addition, you are the internal bridge to our colleagues responsible for our services and with the tender circle, where you directly translate market input into new and optimised services.
What you bring
-
Good conversational skills: You are a strong conversation partner who speaks the language of policymakers, programme managers and aldermen in the (semi-)public sector, while also understanding the speed of a commercial scale-up.
-
Commercial drive with political awareness: You know well how to seize opportunities within the complex world of municipalities and help your clients achieve their objectives. You are familiar with consultative selling and know how to apply this method effectively in practice.
-
Strategic insight: You are up to date on national sustainability policy (such as heat programmes, neighbourhood implementation plans and the National Insulation Programme) and on technical and AI developments. You translate these insights into opportunities for our clients and our services.
-
Connecting ability: You are a strong relationship manager who maintains close connections with our internal teams and also brings people along externally (programme leaders, aldermen, procurement officers).
-
Results-oriented: You know how to separate the main from the side issues, get energy from winning new projects and exceeding targets, so that we can make more impact.
-
You are available soon for 32, 36 or 40 hours per week.
What we offer
You get what you give!
-
The salary range for this position is €4.600 to €5.800 gross per month, excl. 8% holiday allowance and based on 40 hours. The lower end of the range applies to people who need to grow in certain aspects of the role in order to perform it with a high degree of autonomy. The upper end of the range applies to people who, during the application process, demonstrate that they can immediately perform the role as described above with a high degree of autonomy.
-
Personal vitality budget of €250 per year via Alleo, to be spent on something that makes you happy (e.g. sport, good meals, massages).
-
Collective green pension scheme via DoenPensioen from ASR. Rel contributes 4.5% and you contribute 3%. You can increase your own contribution yourself.
-
100% paid parental leave.
-
Reimbursement of commuting costs by public transport outside Amsterdam. (Amsterdammers on the bike then! Sustainable too 😉)
Holidays & public holidays
-
Unlimited holiday days subject to a 'fair use policy'. So an extra day off on your birthday is perfectly fine!
-
Flexible public holidays. You may use National Holidays as you wish. For example, you can exchange Whit Monday for Eid al-Fitr.
Growth & development
-
1:1 guidance from your personal Rel coach and - for those who want it - a professional external coach via OpenUp.
-
Rel Academy with monthly relevant training
-
Training budget for those who want to follow a specific training not offered in the Rel Academy.
-
Weekly reflection via the 15Five tool and regular feedback from colleagues.
-
Because we work in a self-managing way at Rel, you can at any time make your own proposal on how to adjust your role, take on an additional role, or grow.
Positive energy
-
A lot of freedom and autonomy in how you shape your work (including through holacracy), but always together (#samensterk).
-
Four Rel-wide strategy days per year, so you are closely involved in the organisation's strategy.
-
Regular drinks and once a year a weekend away together.
-
Working with our core values as a compass at an organisation that chooses the mission as boss.
Pleasant workplace
-
New sustainable office, 5 minutes' walk from Station Amsterdam Zuid and next to Beatrixpark (for a nice walk!).
-
Hybrid working after your first year. We consider good onboarding very important, and presence in the first year is therefore expected. That is why we usually start with a maximum of 1 work-from-home day per week.
-
A (refurbished) MacBook.
Last but not least: impact
A meaningful job in which you make an impact every day on accelerating the energy transition. Thanks to our work in 2025, every full-time Rel employee saved as much CO₂ as the annual average emissions of 14 (!) Dutch people.
