The Challenge

This role is perfect for an experienced Sales expert who finds the IT world fascinating and enjoys working in an international environment.

As a Business Developer at DataNorth, you will be responsible for securing new AI projects. You’ll identify potential leads and markets, approach prospects through phone calls, emails, LinkedIn, and any other method you can think of. You’ll manage the entire process, from start to finish. You open doors, hold discussions with stakeholders, shape solutions alongside one of DataNorth’s AI Consultants, create proposals, and close deals!

Initially, the focus will be on organizations in the DACH region and US. Currently, we have clients across various sectors, including (semi-)government, SMEs, and large multinationals, but we want to grow even more.

You will work alongside Sales colleague Max and a seasoned Sales Director, who will guide you in your tasks and personal development as needed.

Who are you? 

You are an enthusiastic, curious self-starter with an interest in innovation and IT. Someone who is comfortable speaking both German and English and enjoys meeting new people. You always see opportunities and seize them without hesitation.

You’re the type of person who needs to be slowed down rather than encouraged. There’s no bonus cap, and that motivates you: the sky’s the limit! Additionally:

At least 2 years of Sales experience in a similar role
