Job description

Global (Netherlands highly preferred due to businessmarket)

Construsoft works across a wide range of international markets, with local teams that understand their customers and industries. As we continue to grow, partnerships are becoming an increasingly important part of how we enter new markets, strengthen our offering and create new commercial opportunities.

As Global Business Development Lead, you will take responsibility for developing Construsoft’s global partner ecosystem. You will look at where partnerships can support our commercial ambitions, identify the right organizations to work with and develop relationships that create value for both sides.

The scope is international and goes beyond finding new partners. You will also look at new markets, customer needs and developments within the construction and technology sectors to understand where Construsoft has opportunities to grow. From there, you will work with colleagues across the organization to turn promising ideas into a clear commercial approach.

What you’ll do as a Global Business Development Lead

As Global Business Development Lead, you will be responsible for developing and scaling Construsoft's global partner ecosystem.

Working closely with Sales, Product and Marketing, you will identify strategic partnerships, create new routes to market and help drive sustainable revenue growth across multiple regions. The role combines longer-term business development with practical execution, so you will be involved both in shaping the approach and in developing individual opportunities.

Some opportunities may start within a local market, while others may come through a technology partner, a customer need or a development in the industry. Part of your role is to understand the commercial potential, involve the right people and determine whether an opportunity can be developed or scaled across other regions.

Working across markets and teams

This role involves working with people across different countries and areas of Construsoft. Depending on the opportunity, you may work with Area Directors and local Sales teams to understand a market, with Product Management to explore the fit of a potential partnership, or with Marketing to develop the right approach to market.

You will also work closely with the CRO and Global Leadership Team when evaluating larger opportunities and deciding where to focus resources. This requires a good understanding of both the commercial potential and the practical implications for the teams involved.

Because markets differ, not every approach will work in the same way everywhere. An important part of the role is learning from local teams, understanding those differences and identifying which partnership models or commercial approaches can be adapted and scaled internationally.

Your responsibilities include:

• Defining and executing Construsoft's global partner strategy.
• Building strategic partnerships across the construction, technology and software ecosystem.
• Identifying new markets, segments and routes to market.
• Generating partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline growth.
• Supporting strategic and complex commercial opportunities across regions.
• Aligning Sales, Product and Marketing around growth initiatives.
• Developing scalable frameworks, playbooks and partnership models for global rollout.
• Providing market intelligence and commercial recommendations to senior leadership.

What You Bring

The position suits someone with substantial experience in international business development who enjoys creating new commercial opportunities and developing them over time. You are comfortable working with senior stakeholders, but also with the practical work involved in moving an opportunity forward.

You should be able to work across different markets and functions, bring structure to new ideas and make a clear commercial case for where Construsoft should invest its time and resources.

We're looking for someone who brings:

• 8+ years of experience in business development, partnerships or commercial leadership roles.
• A proven track record of building strategic partnerships and new revenue streams.
• Experience operating within international B2B environments.
• Strong commercial and negotiation skills.
• The ability to convert strategy into measurable business results.
• Experience managing senior stakeholders across different functions and geographies.
• Professional fluency in English and willingness to travel internationally.
• Experience within construction, timber, building materials, BIM, CAD, ERP, digital construction or related industries is highly valued.

What You Can Expect

This is a visible role within Construsoft, with the opportunity to influence how we develop partnerships and new routes to market internationally. You will have room to explore new approaches, bring forward opportunities and help determine which initiatives have the potential to become part of our wider growth strategy.

As the partner ecosystem develops, the role can develop with it. You will be joining at a stage where there is still plenty of room to shape how partnerships and international business development are organized within Construsoft.

This is what you can expect:

• A highly visible role with direct influence on Construsoft's international growth strategy.
• The opportunity to build and scale a global partner ecosystem from the ground up.
• Direct collaboration with the CRO, Global Leadership Team, Area Directors, Product Management and Marketing.
• Freedom to shape partnership models, go-to-market strategies and new growth initiatives.
• The opportunity to grow this function into a dedicated partnerships and business development team as commercial impact increases.
• An international environment where ownership, entrepreneurship and collaboration are valued.
• The chance to play a key role in helping construction companies accelerate their digital transformation.

Salary depends on your location and experience:

• Nordics: market-aligned package depending on country and experience

Candidates based in the Czech Republic and Poland can also be considered

Performance-based incentives and long-term participation opportunities may form part of the total compensation package.

Country-specific considerations: Norway, Sweden and Finland: suitable if the candidate has strong knowledge of the timber industry and a relevant professional network. Austria: suitable if the candidate has the appropriate industry expertise. Czech Republic and Poland: suitable although knowledge transfer and building an understanding of our Dutch customer portfolio may be more challenging.
