Valtech is a global business transformation agency delivering innovation with a purpose. Our European Demand Generation team drives growth by focusing on quality over quantity-practicing thoughtful, insight-led outreach instead of broad-scale, impersonal messaging. We're purposeful, integrated, agile, and entrepreneurial. We rely on data, creativity, and human connection to build strong foundations for long-term client relationships.

We're seeking a Business Development Manager to be the first point of contact for new business opportunities across Europe. Reporting to our European Head of Demand Generation, you'll use your consultative instincts to discover challenges our prospective clients face and align Valtech's solutions to meet those needs. If you thrive on building genuine connections, love problem-solving, and want to develop into a future new business leader, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do …

Be the First to Connect:

• Own the initial outreach and nurturing of high-value leads-from inbound inquiries triggered by marketing and events, to intelligence-based account outreach.
• Operate with a "quality over quantity" mindset, curating personalized, insight-driven messages and multi-touch follow-up plans that genuinely resonate with enterprise-level prospects.
• Collaborate closely with marketing, partner alliances, and regional teams to ensure every approach is informed by current market intelligence and best practices.

Work Across Multiple Initiatives:

• Inbound Lead Follow-Up: Respond rapidly and meaningfully to inbound leads, leveraging insights from Salesforce and our broader network to spark consultative conversations.
• Event & Project Support: Engage high-value leads around our top-priority events and campaigns, contributing to planning and executing pre- and post-event outreach strategies.
• Priority Account Outreach: Develop tailored prospecting plans for strategic accounts, supported by detailed account research and cross-functional collaboration.

Champion Best Practices & Data Integrity:

• Maintain accurate and thorough records in our CRM, in line with our Demand Generation SLA. You'll carefully log activities, meetings, and progression stages so that every opportunity is fully attributable and visible to the extended team.
• Attend weekly and monthly reporting sessions, sharing insights on lead status, pipeline development, and lessons learned.

Learn & Grow:

• Develop deep expertise in Valtech's complex offerings, from technology solutions to digital strategy, so you can confidently articulate how we help solve client challenges.
• Build the foundational skills and knowledge essential for a long-term career in new business-this role is the first step on our Business Development career path.
• Engage in collaborative forums with your peers across Europe, exchanging best practices and sharpening your approach through shared feedback and support.

What's In It for You?

• Career Path: This position is the gateway to broader business development leadership at Valtech. You'll gain the core skills-prospecting, nurturing, and solutioning-to set you on a trajectory toward more senior roles.
• Team Culture: Join an inclusive, entrepreneurial-minded Demand Generation team that values your input and creativity. You'll have the freedom to experiment while being fully supported by marketing and leadership.
• Global Reach: Engage with enterprise-level clients and cutting-edge partners across Europe, expanding your network and professional profile on an international scale.
• Impact & Ownership: You'll see direct results from your efforts-every conversation you initiate, every lead you nurture, and every opportunity you help create contributes to Valtech's growth.
  

About You

• Experience: You've spent 3-5 years in a new business or sales-focused environment, ideally within technology or digital services.
• Multi-Tasker: You excel at juggling multiple activities-whether it's running inbound follow-ups, prepping for events, or strategizing for outreach-without losing track of details or deadlines.
• Entrepreneurial Spirit: You're energized by the hunt for new opportunities, unafraid to test new approaches, and you have a knack for turning insights into action.
• Great Communicator: You can articulate complex ideas in a relatable, concise manner. You're also an empathetic listener, able to read between the lines to identify client pain points.
• Tech-Savvy & Curious: You follow digital trends and see the potential of technology to reshape businesses-and you enjoy learning more about it every day.
• Self-Starter: You manage your priorities and workload independently, using your judgment on when to collaborate and when to drive forward solo.
• Future-Focused: You see yourself evolving into a true new business leader and want the mentorship and platform to grow in that direction.
