As our first Business Development Executive in the UK/I region, you’ll play a pivotal role in launching Parloa’s presence in a new market. You’ll be part of building our revenue engine from the ground up in the region – developing pipeline, establishing relationships with enterprise prospects, and setting the foundation for long-term growth in the UK/I region.
This is not a “follow the playbook” role – you’ll help write it. You’ll work closely with our Head of Growth, the Regional Sales Director, and the enterprise sales team to turn market insights into a tangible pipeline, helping Parloa become the go-to conversational AI platform for leading UK/I enterprises.
IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL:
- Pioneer Parloa’s UK/I market entry by identifying, engaging, and developing relationships with enterprise-level prospects.
- Generate and own outbound pipeline, leveraging creative, data-driven outreach strategies.
- Collaborate closely with our Account Executives to build scalable revenue processes for the region.
- Build and nurture long-term relationships with prospects, positioning Parloa as a trusted partner for AI-powered customer experience.
- Act as the voice of the UK/I market internally – sharing insights, feedback, and learnings that shape our regional strategy.
- Continuously refine messaging and outreach based on market dynamics, ensuring strong alignment between client challenges and Parloa’s solutions.
