About The Role:

We are hiring a Business Development Representative in the Netherlands to drive new business growth. You will identify and qualify potential customers, build a strong sales pipeline, and help expand our market presence to hit team targets.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Find leads: Research Dutch companies to find potential clients, then reach out via phone, email, LinkedIn, or casual client visits.
  • Start conversations: Use tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Lusha, and Amplemarket to get in touch with decision-makers.
  • Follow up & qualify: Chat with interested prospects on discovery calls to see if our solution fits their needs.
  • Run product demos: Lead your own sales chats and demos, with BDM support on bigger deals.
  • Keep CRM updated: Log your calls, notes, and sales pipeline cleanly in Salesforce or HubSpot.
  • Work together: Partner with Marketing and Customer Success to refine strategies and hand off happy new clients.
  • Hit your goals: Aim high to book meetings, build pipeline, and hit monthly targets.

What You'll Bring:

We are looking for a curious, solution-minded professional to join our sales team. You bring commercial insight, a collaborative approach to problem-solving, and the enthusiasm to try new ideas, adapt quickly, and drive great outcomes.

  • Communication: Fluent in Dutch (native level) and highly proficient in English.
  • Resilience & Problem-Solving: Adaptable, positive in the face of challenges, and comfortable navigating a fast-paced environment.
  • Organisation: Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple tasks, work independently, and meet deadlines.
  • Teamwork: A collaborative spirit with a passion for learning and growing with the team.

We are an AI-enabled business dedicated to driving innovation and staying future-ready. We assess all candidates using the following key competencies and behaviours:

Core Competencies

  • AI Literacy & Tool Fluency: Ability to navigate, evaluate, and adopt domain-specific AI tools (e.g. generative text/image tools, enterprise copilots, automated analytics) to streamline daily work.
  • Workflows & Prompting: Skill in structuring clear inputs and contexts to extract accurate, high-value outputs from AI platforms, converting machine results into actionable business deliverables.
  • Output Validation & Quality Control: Ability to critically evaluate AI-generated outputs for accuracy, hallucination, bias, relevance, and alignment with organisational standards before final execution.

Required Behaviours & Mindset

  • Adaptive Curiosity: Actively seeks opportunities to learn new workplace approved tech, experimenting with AI capabilities to solve everyday operational friction.
  • Data Responsibility & Ethical Awareness: Adheres strictly to company data privacy standards, AI Policy guardrails, ensuring sensitive customer, financial, or IP data is never entered into unvetted tools.
  • Automation-First Thinking: Regularly identifies repetitive, low-value tasks within their workflow that can be automated or accelerated, redirecting time towards strategic execution.
