Your challenge as Key Account Manager

At DPG Media, you’re not just selling advertising space, you’re helping build your clients’ success stories. As a Key Account Manager, you are the central figure in the three-way relationship between advertisers, media agencies, and DPG Media. You serve as the dedicated point of contact, strategic partner, and negotiator for one media agency and the 30 to 40 advertisers within its portfolio.

You build strong, long-term relationships, proactively contribute to your clients’ marketing objectives, and develop tailored commercial solutions based on true partnership. From December through March, you lead annual negotiations with CMOs and Marketing Managers. During the rest of the year, you use every client interaction to identify new opportunities and generate additional business.

You work closely with fellow Key Account Managers, digital specialists, and creative professionals across DPG Media. The team collaborates toward shared objectives, your success is their success.

Who is our client?

DPG Media is the largest media group in Belgium and Luxembourg, employing more than 5,000 people and managing a broad portfolio of newspapers, magazines, digital platforms, and entertainment brands. With more than 80 brands, they reach millions of people every day across Belgium and the Netherlands.

The sales team manages the commercial relationships with advertisers and media agencies through a unique three-way partnership model involving advertisers, media agencies, and DPG Media. It is a dynamic, ambitious environment where no two days are the same and where collaboration and knowledge sharing are at the heart of everything they do.

Why do we want to get to know you?

We’re looking for someone with at least five years of professional experience, including a minimum of three years in an external B2B or B2B2C sales role. You communicate fluently in Dutch, French, and English, and are equally comfortable in informal conversations and formal negotiations.

Above all, we’re looking for someone who lives and breathes sales and always thinks from the client’s perspective. A natural negotiator who knows when to push and when to listen. Someone with excellent relationship-building skills, strong analytical abilities, and a digital mindset. You’re equally comfortable meeting with a Chief Marketing Officer as you are with a junior media buyer. You’re a true team player who takes ownership, shows initiative, and doesn’t wait for opportunities to appear, but creates them.
