Job description

Business Development Representative – Outbound EMEA

Remote within Europe | CET ±1 hour | Full-time | B2B SaaS

Ready to accept your next mission?

Build focused outbound campaigns that create Accept Mission’s next generation of customers. Identify the right organisations, reach the right people, start meaningful conversations and turn cold accounts into qualified sales opportunities.

This is a hands‑on outbound role. Cold calling is fundamental, and you should genuinely enjoy it. You’ll research, prioritise, call, email and follow up, using AI and modern sales tools to work smarter while keeping human conversation at the centre.

Accept Mission helps organisations decide which innovation opportunities deserve investment and turn selected initiatives into measurable business results. Our AI‑powered platform connects ideas, evaluation, prioritisation and delivery, giving teams a clear view of their innovation portfolio. Our customers include medium‑sized and larger organisations in energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, aviation and utilities.

Your mission

Build focused outbound campaigns around markets where we have a strong reason to win.

Research accounts and identify relevant decision‑makers.

Pick up the phone, create curiosity and start real conversations.

Qualify opportunities based on customer fit, a recognisable problem and a credible reason to continue.

You have at least 2 years of relevant outbound B2B sales experience, including independently approaching prospects and making cold calls. Experience in SaaS, business development or technology sales is valuable. Previous innovation management experience is not required.

Highly fluent spoken and written English is essential. You must be able to lead natural, unscripted sales conversations, ask follow‑up questions and handle objections confidently. An additional European language is welcome.

You must currently be based in Europe within approximately one hour of Central European Time and be available for full‑time work during European business hours. Candidates outside the Netherlands are welcome.

Real ownership and direct commercial impact.

Base salary of €40,000–€43,000 gross annually, depending on experience.

Expected on-target earnings of approximately €55,000–€60,000 annually.
