District Sales Manager Commercial Vehicles at Kia Belux in Zaventem, Belgium

Job Overview

Kia Belux is recruiting a District Sales Manager Commercial Vehicles to work out of its Zaventem office and drive the growth of the brand’s electric light commercial vehicle (e-LCV) line across Belgium and Luxembourg. The role follows the launch of Kia’s PV5 electric van and is framed by the employer as a growth position: the company wants to establish itself as a leading name in the e-LCV segment, and this hire is expected to be central to that push at dealer level.

The position reports to the Head of PBV Belux and sits within what the employer describes as a small, ambitious team with a start-up mindset. Day to day, the job is less about direct end-customer sales and more about activating and coaching the dealer network — helping dealers build a genuine commercial approach to selling e-LCVs to professional and fleet customers, rather than treating them as a secondary product line.

About the Role

Kia’s push into electric commercial vehicles is a newer part of the brand’s European business, and this role is positioned at the point where that strategy meets the existing dealer network in Belgium and Luxembourg. The successful candidate will split time between headquarters-style planning (action plans, KPIs, reporting) and field work with dealers — coaching sales teams, supporting prospecting and tender activity, and being present for customer visits and product events. Fluency in both Dutch and French is treated as essential given the dual-market, dual-language nature of the Belux region.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive e-LCV sales performance across the Belux dealer network, supporting dealers in meeting wholesale and retail targets
• Support dealer vehicle pipeline management and adherence to Kia PBV centre standards
• Define and follow up action plans aimed at improving conversion and retention
• Identify, prospect, and activate professional customers and business partners directly
• Coach dealers on local prospecting, networking, fleet sales, conversion, and tender activity
• Build and track dealer action plans to lift sales conversion, lead management, and customer retention
• Support dealers during customer visits, product presentations, events, and local business-development activity
• Identify and develop new professional customers and partners for the e-LCV business
• Help strengthen Kia’s visibility as a serious player in the Belux e-LCV market
• Support dealers in selling associated financial, insurance, and fleet-management products
• Feed market observations and recommendations back to the wider PBV Belux team
