Description du poste

Are you a driven, Dutch-speaking sales professional looking for a role where you can open doors to new customers and grow quickly in a young, ambitious team? We are looking for a Business Development Representative on behalf of our client, an IT scale-up based in the heart of Amsterdam.

Key Responsibilities

Prospecting and Outreach

• Research Dutch companies across different sectors to build and maintain a targeted list of prospects
• Approach potential customers by phone, email, LinkedIn, and in person to introduce the company's messaging solutions and start new conversations
• Use sales engagement tools to identify the right decision-makers within target organisations and make first contact

Lead Qualification and Discovery

• Run discovery calls with interested prospects to understand their communication needs, current tools, and fit with the platform
• Qualify opportunities against agreed criteria and move the right conversations forward in the pipeline
• Work closely with the marketing team to align outreach with ongoing campaigns and sector-specific messaging

Product Demonstrations and Commercial Negotiation

• Lead product demonstrations independently for smaller accounts
• Handle the commercial conversation through to agreement, including basic contract and pricing discussions
• Partner with a Business Development Manager on more complex or enterprise-level opportunities

Customer Handoff and Pipeline Management

• Hand over new customers to the Customer Success team with full context on the account, so onboarding starts well informed
• Keep accurate and up-to-date records of prospect interactions, deal stages, and pipeline movement in the CRM
• Track activity against individual targets and contribute to team reporting

Team and Market Contribution

• Share market feedback, competitor observations, and sector trends with the Country Manager and the marketing team to support targeting decisions
• Take part in team meetings, training sessions, and sales methodology development
• Contribute to a collaborative and energetic office culture

Qualifications & Skills

• Professional fluency in Dutch and English, written and spoken, as all outreach and customer conversations in the Dutch market are held in Dutch
• 0 to 2 years of experience in a BDR, sales, or other commercial role is preferred
• A genuine motivation for a career in sales
• Resilient and able to keep up pace and energy in an outbound-heavy role with clear activity expectations
• Strong personal organisation, including managing a pipeline, tracking follow-ups, and keeping CRM records current without reminders
• Commercially aware and able to hold a confident conversation with a business owner or manager about their business needs
• Open to learning and feedback, and willing to make full use of a comprehensive training and onboarding programme
• Exposure to SaaS, CPaaS, or B2B technology is a plus, but not a requirement

What We Offer

• Base salary of €2,750 to €3,000 gross per month, depending on experience, excluding 8% holiday allowance
• Uncapped commission of 20% of your monthly base salary for every deal closed, with performance accelerators, guaranteed during the first 3 months of ramp-up

• Daily lunch provided at the office
• Lease bike scheme
• Travel allowance of €300 gross per month for employees living more than 10 km from the office
• Professional and personal learning opportunities
• Comprehensive onboarding with 1-to-1 coaching from the Country Manager, including product training, sales methodology, and demo call practice
• Clear progression path, with recent team members promoted from this role into Business Development Manager positions
• Young, international, and flat organisation with accessible leadership and regular team socials
• Fully office-based, Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 17:00, in a central Amsterdam location
• Initial 7-month contract, followed by a renewal or permanent contract, based on performance
