More about the role

In the dynamic world of sports, lighting does more than make things visible — it brings emotion, energy, and excellence to life. As our Key Account Manager for the Sports segment, you’ll lead the charge in both professional and recreational sports.

• Professional Arenas: Strengthen and expand our partnerships with top sports arenas in the Netherlands. Create value beyond illumination — enhancing fan experience, hospitality, and entertainment through smart lighting innovations.
• Recreational Sports: Accelerate the LED transformation in clubs across tennis, football, and hockey. Drive conversion of the sales pipeline and ensure every facility achieves sustainability and performance goals.
• Market Development: Explore new frontiers in sports lighting — from Padel and Fitness to Indoor Sports. Identify growth opportunities, engage new customers, and bring Signify’s vision to emerging markets.
• You’ll take full end-to-end responsibility for the customer journey — from influencing specifiers and collaborating with contractors to engaging end-users and ensuring complete customer satisfaction.
• Success in this role means becoming a trusted partner within the sports ecosystem, working closely with CSI partners, installers, specifiers, and internal teams within Professional NL. Together, you’ll shape the next era of sustainable, connected sports environments.
