• Hit (and exceed) your targets, delivering against monthly KPIs for meetings, opportunities, and revenue contribution.
• Continuously level up your skills by embracing feedback, coaching, and collaboration to refine your outreach and maximise impact.

What will make you stand out:

• Proven experience in business development or sales, ideally within B2B SaaS, HR Tech, or global workforce solutions—bringing a strong understanding of how to generate and qualify opportunities.
• Fluent Dutch speaker with strong English skills, confident communicating with a wide range of stakeholders across regions.
• A natural communicator, able to build rapport quickly, deliver compelling messages, and engage decision-makers with confidence.
• Driven, curious, and resilient, with a genuine hunger to hit—and exceed—targets.
• Highly organised and adaptable, comfortable managing multiple conversations and opportunities at once in a fast-paced environment.
