Vacancy: Senior Business Developer

Job brief

We are looking for an ambitious, energetic and most of all hands-on Business Developer. He or she will be in charge of business growth and will team up with the CEO and other Business Developers and reach out to potential sales leads to expand the company’s business, especially within the technology sector. Telcos, producers, distributors and resellers will be the main target market for this function. This function will also generate quotes for potential customers and manage contracts. Next to that, he or she will manage relationships with clients. The ability to collaborate on every level of the business is important. This function will follow all steps of the sales process, from hunting for leads to the final closing of deals.

This function is asked to help us expand our clientele with the assistance of the commercial team (2.9 FTE). You will be client-facing, and will have the dedication to expand the business and sign new contracts with clients.

The short term goal is to double CTL’s revenues through boosting sales and forging strong relationships with clients and partners. This is done in close collaboration with the CEO and founder of CTL. Although CTL has been serving some of the most challenging customers for over 4 years, this sales role will be very independent, as it will focus on a specific market segment (the tech sector). The ideal candidate will be a hands-on go-getter who can make their own presentations or other materials, and find their own way through the sales pipeline, with a global mindset.
