Would you like to lead a growing team of advisors at a bank that has ranked among Belgium’s best employers for years? As Sales Manager Pension & Protection at Bank Van Breda, you lead a decentralised team of P&P Advisors and hold final responsibility for their commercial results.
Your challenge as Sales Manager Pension & Protection
You lead the Pension & Protection team, which advises entrepreneurs and liberal professions on retirement planning and protection, both personally and for their company. Your advisors work from the regional offices in Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia, and you translate the bank’s strategy into clear objectives for the team. You coach your people and continue to build the team, with a keen eye for the quality of advice and client files. You report to the COO. Your role sits outside the commercial network, yet you work closely with it every day.
About our client
Since 1930, Bank Van Breda has been the bank for entrepreneurs and liberal professions, supporting them in both their business and private finances throughout their entire career. From its head office in Antwerp and a network of offices across Belgium, the bank manages € 30.2 billion in entrusted client assets. In 2025, net profit rose by 6% to € 106 million. The team numbers around 700 employees and keeps growing. The structure is flat, lines are short and people tend to stay for many years. Since 2018, Bank Van Breda has made the top three in every edition of Great Place To Work, winning gold in 2025.
Why we want to meet you
You have at least five years of commercial experience in pension and protection products (Life), for example at an insurer, a brokerage or in bancassurance. You know the solutions for self-employed professionals and companies inside out, and you are familiar with tax-efficient investments and IDD regulations. You have experience as a people manager, preferably of a team working across several locations. As a leader, you give people trust and help them grow. You think strategically and are also happy to roll up your sleeves yourself. You are fluent in Dutch and French, as part of your team works in Brussels and Wallonia.
What makes this role special
You join at the right time: thanks to a new structure, the advisors can now focus entirely on their clients. The team will continue to grow in phases, and you have every opportunity to shape it into a close-knit unit. You serve a client group where advice starts from what the client really needs, in a warm organisation where mistakes are allowed and everyone has a personal development plan. The package is attractive and includes a company car and a profit-sharing plan. You also benefit from flexible working hours and can work from home several days a week.
