Job description

Love the thrill of opening doors that weren’t open yesterday?

We’re looking for a driven, energetic German-speaking Business Development Executive who knows how to turn a cold prospect into a real conversation — and a real conversation into a qualified sales opportunity.

This is a part‑time opportunity for someone who enjoys prospecting, connecting, influencing and winning, with the flexibility of working on a part‑time basis.

You’ll be joining an exciting technology‑focused organisation providing solutions to businesses looking to improve their e‑commerce, returns and customer experience processes, playing a key role in developing new business opportunities across the German‑speaking market.

We’re particularly interested in candidates with experience selling B2B services or solutions, who understand how to engage decision‑makers, identify business needs and generate new commercial opportunities.

Experience in SaaS, technology, e‑commerce, retail, logistics or customer experience solutions would be beneficial, but we’re equally interested in strong sales professionals from other service‑led B2B environments.

If you’re commercially minded, confident communicating in German and motivated by opening new doors, we want to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

You’ll be at the front line of new business — identifying the right companies, finding the right people and starting conversations that matter.

Your day will include:

• Hunting for new opportunities and identifying high‑potential prospects across the German‑speaking market.
• Creating conversations through a multi‑channel approach — telephone, email and LinkedIn.
• Engaging prospects and building relationships from the very first interaction.
• Booking high‑quality meetings and generating Sales Qualified Leads for the sales team.
• Understanding prospect needs and qualifying opportunities against agreed criteria.
• Maintaining consistent outbound activity, balancing volume with quality.
• Owning your CRM activity in Salesforce, ensuring account data, activity and qualification details are accurate and up to date.
• Working closely with Enterprise Sales and Inside Sales to turn qualified opportunities into pipeline.
• Tracking your performance and continually improving your approach.
• Sharing market insight and ideas to help evolve the sales process.
• Hitting — and ideally smashing — your monthly qualified‑lead targets.

What we're looking for

• Fluent German, with strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Previous experience in B2B business development, outbound sales or lead generation.
• A background in selling services, solutions or consultative B2B offerings.
• Confidence engaging decision‑makers and building relationships with new prospects.
• Experience with cold calling, email outreach and LinkedIn prospecting.
• A proactive, resilient and commercially driven approach.
• The ability to work independently and manage your own targets.
• Strong organisational skills and experience using a CRM system.

The opportunity

• Part-time working arrangement.
• Remote working opportunity.
• The chance to work with an exciting technology‑focused organisation.
• A role where your contribution directly impacts business growth.
• The opportunity to develop your sales skills and make a real commercial impact.

If you’re a German-speaking sales professional who enjoys opening doors, building relationships and generating new business, we’d love to hear from you.
