Business Development Manager at SmartDev1

At SmartDev, we are passionate about bridging the gap between complex engineering challenges and the transformative power of artificial intelligence. We help mid-market and enterprise organizations navigate digital shifts, particularly in highly regulated sectors like financial services, insurance, and logistics. Our team is currently looking for a driven, independent professional to help us expand our footprint across Europe. We are a group that values deep technical roots and clear communication, and we are looking for someone who shares our hunger for hunting and closing new opportunities.

The opportunity

We are looking for a Business Development Manager to join us as an independent contractor. This is a pure hunting role where you will be responsible for acquiring net-new logos within your assigned European territory. You will not be managing an existing book of business. Instead, you will be the architect of your own success, building a robust pipeline from the ground up through outbound prospecting and strategic partner collaborations. Your primary goal is to position our AI solutions and engineering services as the premier choice for CTOs, CIOs, and engineering leaders who are ready to innovate.

A day in the life

• You will design and execute a disciplined outbound strategy, using cold outreach, targeted campaigns, and networking to generate fresh leads across your territory.
• You will manage the entire sales cycle, from initial discovery and qualification to solutioning, negotiation, and closing the final deal.
• You will maintain high standards of data integrity in HubSpot, ensuring that your pipeline stages, deal values, and forecasts are always accurate for our reporting needs.

Who you are

You are a senior-level sales professional with a proven track record in solution selling and pipeline management. You thrive in a remote environment and possess the self-discipline required to succeed as an independent consultant. You are fluent in English and have a sharp eye for market intelligence, allowing you to feed valuable insights back to our product teams. You understand the nuances of the European market, particularly regarding regulatory pressures like DORA or the EU AI Act, and you know how to tailor your message to high-level decision makers.

Why you'll love it here

We believe in providing the flexibility you need to do your best work. As a member of our team, you will enjoy the freedom of a remote work arrangement, allowing you to operate from anywhere in Europe. You will be joining a mission-driven company that values your expertise and supports your efforts to bring our cutting-edge AI solutions to new clients across the continent.
