Job description

Who are we?

We're a smart hydration company rebuilding an industry that still runs on sugar water and single-use packaging. Filtered water, functional flavors, zero bottles. Still, sparkling, cold, and hot. All poured from one tap. We create hydration people want to reach for, starting with the workplace where we help teams thrive.

As an AI-native company, we build at speed. In 2025, Aquablu ranked 2nd in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 (Netherlands) and 30th in the Sifted 250 (Europe), both rankings of the fastest-growing companies by revenue growth. In 2026 we were named a winner of Maya's Culture 100 Europe Awards as one of the best workplaces to thrive in.

Growing that fast and thriving comes down to our people. Our team is our biggest asset and one that we’re proud of. We’re committed to maintaining our vibrant culture as we continue to grow.

About the role

Want to launch your sales career and actually learn how to sell — for real?

We’re looking for an outbound-focused Business Development Representative (BDR) to support our Nordic markets . This is the perfect entry-level role if you want to master prospecting, build strong commercial skills, and grow into a high-performing sales professional.

You’ll be on the phone daily, booking high-quality meetings for our channel partners across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. At the same time, Aquablu will invest heavily in you : through hands‑on coaching, AI‑powered tools that remove busywork, and clear growth paths into more senior commercial roles.

This role is fast‑paced, people‑facing, and very hands‑on. You’ll learn by doing — and by getting better every single week.

What you’ll be doing

• Drive outbound in the Nordics: Cold call office environments (50+ employees) across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland to book qualified meetings for our channel partners.
• Run multi‑channel outreach: Use phone (primary), email, and LinkedIn to engage prospects and create conversations.
• Build real sales skills: Practice discovery, objection handling, and qualification daily while learning how offices think about wellbeing, sustainability, and hydration.
• Work with partners & the team: Support partner pipelines, collaborate closely with the Nordic Channel Manager, and act as a trusted extension of the partner team.
• Learn fast with coaching: Improve week over week through call reviews, playbooks, and hands‑on sales coaching.
• Represent Aquablu: Join partner events and trade shows across the Nordics.

No two days are the same — and that’s how you grow.
