German-Speaking Business Development Executive – Part-Time
Love the thrill of opening doors that weren’t open yesterday?
We’re looking for a driven, energetic Business Development Executive who knows how to turn a cold prospect into a real conversation — and a real conversation into a qualified sales opportunity.
This is a part-time opportunity for someone who enjoys prospecting, connecting, influencing and winning, and who wants the flexibility of working on a part-time basis.
This isn’t a role for someone who wants to sit back and wait for leads to arrive.
It’s for someone who enjoys prospecting, connecting, influencing and winning.
You’ll be joining one of our clients, an exciting technology-focused organisation providing solutions to businesses looking to improve their e-commerce, returns and customer experience processes, and playing a key role in building their pipeline across the German-speaking market.
Experience selling SaaS, e-commerce technology, retail technology, returns management, logistics, customer experience solutions or other B2B technology solutions would be particularly relevant.
If you’re naturally curious, commercially minded and motivated by seeing your name on the scoreboard, we want to hear from you.
What you'll be doing
You’ll be at the front line of new business — identifying the right companies, finding the right people and starting conversations that matter.
Your day will include:
- Hunting for new opportunities and identifying high-potential prospects across the German-speaking market.
- Creating conversations through a multi-channel approach — telephone, email and LinkedIn.
- Engaging prospects and building relationships from the very first interaction.
- Booking high-quality meetings and creating Sales Qualified Leads for the sales team.
- Understanding prospect needs and qualifying opportunities against agreed criteria.
- Keeping the momentum high, managing a consistent volume of outbound activity while maintaining quality.
- Owning your CRM activity in Salesforce, ensuring account data, activity, qualification details and market feedback are accurate and up to date.
- Working closely with Enterprise Sales and Inside Sales to turn qualified opportunities into pipeline.
- Tracking your performance, understanding what works and continually improving your approach.
- Helping evolve the sales process, sharing market insight and ideas that can make the team even more effective.
- Hitting — and ideally smashing — your monthly qualified-lead targets.
