Business Development Representative – Enterprise AI | …

Would you like to build a career in enterprise sales while working with AI technology that addresses real business challenges?

As a Business Development Representative, you will help grow the company's presence in the German market. Based in Amsterdam, you will connect with potential customers, explore their needs and develop opportunities alongside the founders and technical specialists.

Initially, your focus will be on opening conversations, qualifying leads and arranging meetings. You will follow up on contacts from industry events and proactively identify new prospects. As your knowledge and confidence grow, you will take greater ownership of customer conversations and progress towards independently closing deals.

You will speak with decision-makers across R&D, engineering, IT and innovation. Success requires thoughtful preparation, good listening skills and the ability to explain how AI can help solve a customer's specific challenges.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Identifying and researching target companies and relevant decision-makers in Germany.
• Generating new leads through targeted outreach, networking and industry events.
• Following up on existing contacts and qualifying their needs, priorities and potential fit.
• Arranging and supporting discovery meetings, presentations and product demonstrations.
• Working with sales and technical colleagues to connect customer challenges with suitable solutions.
• Keeping clear records of customer conversations, opportunities and next steps.
• Gradually taking responsibility for proposals, negotiations and closing deals as you develop.
• Travelling to Germany several times a month for events and customer meetings.

You will work closely with the CEO and receive practical support from an experienced sales colleague acting as your buddy.

Requirements

You combine commercial ambition with intellectual curiosity. You enjoy finding out how things work, ask thoughtful questions and can build credibility with knowledgeable customers. You are also comfortable taking the initiative and maintaining momentum when a sales process takes time.

We are looking for:

• German at C2 level, strong English.
• Very good understanding of German business culture.
• Ideally, around 2–5 years of relevant experience in B2B sales, business development, consulting or a related customer-facing role.
• A genuine interest in AI, enterprise software and the challenges facing technical and industrial businesses.
• The ability to understand new concepts quickly and explain them clearly in business terms.
• A consultative approach: listening carefully, identifying needs and building relationships through relevant conversations.
• Commercial drive, resilience and the discipline to follow up consistently.
• A structured, proactive way of working and the flexibility to contribute within a growing technology company.
• Availability for a full-time role in Amsterdam and willingness to travel regularly to Germany.

A technical degree or previous AI sales experience is not essential. Candidates with less direct sales experience are also welcome if they can demonstrate strong learning ability, commercial potential and a clear motivation for this career path.

Benefits

• A base salary aligned with your experience, complemented by a performance-related bonus structure.
• A permanent employment contract from the outset.
• Hands-on training and coaching from the founders, sales colleagues and technical specialists.
• A dedicated sales buddy to support your onboarding and development.
• A clear development path from business development towards managing and closing enterprise sales opportunities.
• The opportunity to contribute ideas and help shape the company's commercial approach in Germany.
• Exposure to senior decision-makers at major industrial businesses and practical applications of AI.
• An international working environment with close collaboration across sales, product and engineering.
