Role Overview

NETGEAR is seeking a driven and commercially sharp Territory Account Manager to join our growing Commercial AV Channel business across Benelux. This role sits at the heart of our strategic push to grow sales of industry-leading IP networking switching and wireless products across the full AV landscape - from commercial installations and live events to audio and broadcast.

• Proactively build and manage top-tier commercial AV business partners across Benelux, driving quarterly growth through solution selling, partner engagement, and a local business plan aligned to the NETGEAR partner program.

• Identify, recruit, and develop a strategic set of accounts - integrators, distributors, consultants, and end customers - and grow the AV channel business in the region in line with corporate goals.

• Manage and expand distribution channels, onboarding value-added and sub-distributors in key verticals to build a healthy project pipeline. Drive share-of-wallet gains across all product categories with existing channel partners.

• Find and engage specialist channel partners to accelerate adoption of wireless access points and managed switches supported by the NETGEAR cloud solution. Deliver regular partner training across all levels of the organisation.

• Create proposals and business plans, negotiate agreements, and provide accurate weekly forecasting and reporting. Maintain full understanding of the competitive landscape and develop strategies to achieve category leadership.

• Coordinate with NETGEAR internal resources - SE, marketing, product management, tech support, operations, and EMEA peers - to optimise sales results and ensure strong customer satisfaction.
