Region Brussels / Antwerp (with future expansion)

At Royal Canin | Part of Mars, Incorporated

Combine science with sales excellence: are you our next Sales hero that turns market insights into immediate in-clinic impact ?

At Royal Canin, science is at the heart of everything we do in pet nutrition. But insight alone doesn’t drive availability or adoption. That’s why we’re looking for a Sales Associate who pairs a genuine passion for animal health with the commercial edge to convert great conversations into measurable growth. Are you the missing link between building trust and closing deals?

The Role

You will own and grow a territory of veterinary clinics. Your mission goes beyond maintaining relationships- you activate them. You turn scientific value into day-to-day clinic impact, ensuring our solutions are not only discussed, but visible, stocked, recommended, and re-ordered. You’ll build structured account plans, execute with discipline, and create momentum that shows up in both presence and performance.

Is bringing a great conversation into a clear “yes” one of your superpowers ? Then we’d love to meet you. 

Royal Canin is looking for a Veterinary Sales Associate to accelerate our growth in Belgium. In this role, you blend scientific credibility with sharp commercial execution.
