Job description

Who are Bumper?

Please allow us to celebrate our success for a moment... We've built a customer-centric product that is a market leader, and we are smashing it!

We're a multi-award-winning digital payments platform within the automotive industry - working with over 5,000 automotive retailers, helping drivers pay for motoring costs, accessories, and other services through a variety of different payment options, and ultimately keeping them on the road, in safer vehicles.

Bumper is a fast-growing scale-up and we’re excited to start the next phase of our growth. We’re looking to hire a dynamic, passionate, and visionary Business Development Consultant to grow Bumper's client base in Germany. Our vision is to be the leading automotive payments and insights platform.

Our Head Office is in Sheffield City Centre, with offices also based in London and Turkey. We have retailers in Spain, Germany, Ireland, and the Netherlands!

A bit about the role...

We are looking for a new Business Development Consultant in Germany, who has the opportunity to offer our exciting product to customers and to make the role completely their own. With the help of our Head of International Sales and a talented team of Business Development Consultants, you will be responsible for developing the foundation of Bumper's reputation in Northern Germany.

You will have two core responsibilities: customer acquisition and new loan origination. You will be expected to create and enhance the portfolio of automotive retailers within Germany, while simultaneously driving high volumes of payments. You will develop close relationships with OEMs, retail groups, and established third-party automotive systems. The role will be largely remote, with an average of 2 days per week out visiting sites.

You will play a pivotal role in the growth of Bumper's clients and partnerships in the German automotive market, giving you the chance to play a central part in a rapidly growing sector.

Key responsibilities:

• Prospecting & Lead Generation: Identify, engage, and qualify potential customers, build a strong pipeline, and create cross-selling opportunities within dealer groups and OEMs.
• Relationship Management: Address customers' needs with tailored solutions, nurture long-term relationships with manufacturers and retailers, manage activities in HubSpot CRM, conduct account reviews to enhance customer interaction with Bumper, and develop case studies showcasing Bumper’s financial impact.
• Customer Base Growth: Build an extensive customer base and drive increased retailer sales.
• Collaboration & Support: Work with customer operations for onboarding, provide customer support throughout the sales cycle, and collaborate with internal teams (Product, Marketing, Operations) for aligned strategies and customer success.

Location:

We are looking for our Business Development Consultant to be based in Hamburg or Berlin, or within commuting distance, with travel required.

Now a bit about you…

We’re a passionate and driven team, and we’re looking for someone who shares our enthusiasm for growth and building Bumper's customer base across the European automotive market. If you thrive on the excitement of finding and closing new leads, value strong relationships, and enjoy showcasing innovative solutions, we’d love to hear from you.

What we are looking for in you...

• Proven experience in a sales role with a track record of growing and managing a client portfolio
• Strong interest in emerging products, with the ability to challenge conventional thinking regarding new product adoption
• Degree-level education.
• Fluent in German (English speaking desirable)
• Highly self-motivated and target-driven
• Proficient with Microsoft Office
• Full and clean German Driving License

Benefits

• Basic salary: €50,000 - €60,000
• Commission scheme: With a realistic OTE of up to €1000 per month
• Car allowance: €800 per month
• Wellbeing platform: With an allowance available to help you with your physical, mental, and financial well-being
• Annual Company Retreat: A few days of fun, collaboration, and mingling (make sure your passport’s in date!)
• Time Off: 26 days holiday + bank holidays, plus volunteer days
• Parental Leave: 4 months paid leave for primary carers and 1 month for secondary carers

Perks are nice, but we know perks don’t make up the whole package of a great job. By joining our Bumper team, you’ll have the opportunity to be an ambassador for our product & brand, and help us to continue on our winning streak!
