Sales Manager

Introduction

As Sales Manager at Curios you sell cybersecurity consultancy — assessments, penetration testing and compliance work across NIS2 and ISO 27001 — to Belgian and international organisations. You are our first commercial hire, so you build the function rather than inherit it. You own the commercial relationship; the senior specialist who delivers the work scopes it with you and stays the client’s technical contact. Selling more never changes who does the work.

What you’ll do

• Open and qualify new opportunities — outbound, network and inbound
• Grow the accounts we have: renewals and follow-on work
• Run the commercial conversation with security, IT and compliance decision-makers
• Bring in the consultant who will deliver the work to scope and price it; the proposal is yours
• Keep your pipeline and forecast honest

Roughly an even split between new clients and existing ones.

What we’re looking for

Must have

• At least 2 years in IT or security — enough to hold a first conversation about NIS2, ISO 27001, penetration testing or vCISO work
• Experience running your own outreach, pipeline and proposals, including commercial conversations at CISO and IT-director level
• The discipline to bring a consultant in the moment a conversation turns technical. You don’t need to answer the technical questions, only recognise them
• Professional working proficiency in Dutch and English — you’ll work with Belgian clients in both
• The role involves travel to clients and our Antwerp office; a category B licence is the usual way, and we’re open to alternatives

Nice to have

• French, or another additional language
• Familiarity with how Belgian security buyers procure
• Client-side experience of an ISO 27001 or NIS2 programme

What we offer

• A training and certification budget. We’re a team of 48+ certifications and we intend to keep it that way — you get the budget to build the security knowledge you need to sell it.
• A competitive salary with a 13th month, plus a net expense allowance on top.
• A company car and fuel card — you’ll be moving between client sites, home and our Antwerp office.
• Meal vouchers and eco-vouchers.
• Hospitalisation insurance.
• Phone and laptop.
• Hybrid working — home, client sites and the Antwerp office.
• A varied portfolio to sell — Belgian and international organisations, from board-level security strategy to hands-on technical work.
