Job description
Working as Business Manager at Oliver Benson is a prestigious position. You will act as a commercial signboard for our business.
Your core role comprises networking, advising and (consultative) selling.
As Business Manager at Oliver Benson, you will be responsible for one specific business unit.

In the long term, you will manage your business unit completely independently, with the ability to perfectly match supply and demand. You will act as a mini CEO, so this is an exceptionally challenging role.
