Your mission

We’re looking for a next-generation Head of Business Development (Vienna or Dublin)— a hands-on, tech-savvy leader to scale the BD team, drive AI-led innovation, and optimise top-of-funnel through modern tools and scalable programmes.

Your profile

Must-haves:

• 3–5 years in BD/SDR leadership within B2B SaaS, achieving substantial pipeline growth (e.g. 5x) by improving team efficiency and processes, rather than simply expanding headcount.
• Proven success building or optimising outbound programmes and tech stacks.
• Strong command of modern sales engagement platforms (HubSpot, Salesforce, Gong, Outreach, LinkedIn, etc.).
• Passion for AI, automation, and productivity tools, with an early adopter mindset.
• Hands-on, energetic leader who loves coaching and iterating quickly.
• Comfortable operating between strategy and execution — can think like a Head of BD but also act like a Programme Manager.
• Excellent analytical, organisational, and communication skills.
• Fluent English skills, both written and spoken, are required.
• Must be eligible to work in Austria or Ireland (no sponsorship options available).
• Based in, or within commuting distance from Dublin or Vienna.

Bonus points for:

• Experience and knowledge in supply chain monitoring, ESG, sustainability, or risk management—areas core to Prewave’s business.
• Additional language skills, e.g. French, Spanish, Dutch etc.
