Job description

As a Business Development Manager, you will be responsible for further expanding the international market. This is a highly independent role in which you will have the opportunity to build and develop your own market from the ground up. You will manage the entire sales cycle: from identifying opportunities and approaching prospects to closing new partnerships. Because the business unit is still growing rapidly, not all processes are fully established yet. This makes the role ideal for someone who enjoys working in a dynamic scale-up environment and likes contributing ideas and helping shape future processes.

• Identifying and developing new business opportunities.
• Conducting market research to identify potential customers, partners, and market trends
• Proactively generating leads and approaching prospects through cold calling, email campaigns, LinkedIn, and other outbound activities
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with prospective business partners
• Managing the complete sales cycle, from first contact through to signed partnership agreements
• Advising prospects on connectivity and telecom solutions
• Preparing and presenting commercial proposals and quotations
• Scheduling and conducting virtual and/or face-to-face customer meetings
• Representing the company at trade fairs, exhibitions, and networking events (approx. 5-10x a year)
• Collaborating closely with colleagues from sales, account management, and partner management to ensure successful onboarding and customer satisfaction

Requirements

• Minimum of 2 years of experience in Business Development, Sales, or a similar B2B commercial role (3-5 years preferred)
• Fluent English and Dutch (at least B1) skills, both written and spoken. Knowledge of the French language is a plus.
• A true hunter mentality with a proactive, entrepreneurial, and results-driven mindset
• Comfortable with cold acquisition and outbound sales activities, with calling prospects as a natural first step
• Strong communication, relationship-building, and negotiation skills
• Strong technical affinity and/or a genuine interest in technology, demonstrated through previous work experience, education, hobbies, or personal projects, enabling you to quickly understand, explain, and advise on connectivity solutions.
• A flexible and adaptable personality who enjoys working in a scale-up environment where processes are still evolving
• Able to work independently while thriving within an international team
• Possession of a valid driver's license (B) is mandatory
• Living within approximately 30-45 minutes of Oosterhout is a must.

Please note that we are only considering candidates who are already based in the Netherlands. We are not considering candidates who still need to relocate or have an unrealistic long-distance commute. We do not offer visa sponsorship for this role.

Benefits

• Lease car provided
• Company laptop and mobile phone
• Initial 7-month direct contract with the intention of long-term employment
• Full-time position (40 hours per week)
• 25 vacation days per year
• Pension scheme with a shared employer/employee contribution
• A bonus structure is currently under development
• An international, entrepreneurial, and fast-growing working environment
• Significant autonomy and ownership to develop and grow your own market
• A young, informal, and people-oriented company culture
• Primarily office-based role in Oosterhout to encourage collaboration and team spirit.
