Senior Business Development Manager

We're looking for a new colleague to join our electric adventure!

We combine the latest tech with human-centered design to offer highly intuitive and efficient EV chargers that ensure easier access to personal electric transport.

This gives people the freedom and potential to travel into a more sustainable future. How neat is that?

Within just a few years, we've built our domestic market-leading position by supplying superior charging installations for housing co-ops and private homes alike.

As a Norwegian EV pioneer, our goals are aimed at bringing the best charging technology to the rest of the world. Are you up for this challenge?

As a Senior Business Development Manager at Zaptec, you'll be a vital part of our sales team, dedicated to identifying and reaching out to new businesses to strengthen Zaptec's growth in the UK.

With a primary focus on generating new revenue, you'll play a crucial role in ensuring that Zaptec proactively seeks opportunities in both new and existing markets for growth. Your ability to identify key partners and create new business opportunities will be instrumental in our success.

Although you will often be the first point of contact, you will need to work closely with our existing sales team to ensure a smooth customer handover, while embracing our "Wins as a team" attitude.

In this role, we believe some of your tasks will be to:

• Identify new partners, sales channels, and business opportunities in the UK market for all our products and services.
• Identify different stakeholders, decision-makers, and influencers for both new and existing partners.
• Understand our partner's needs and present our company, suggesting appropriate products/services, and proving our capabilities.
• Develop existing channels, working closely with our sales team.
• Create, maintain, and build your own partner & sales pipeline in our CRM system.
• Follow up and qualify incoming sales leads.
• Monitor relevant public and private tenders in the market.
• Stay up to date on industry trends, news from competitors, and our target market.
• Participate in industry networks, trade shows, and conferences.

While this might seem like a variety of tasks, we're confident you'll shape the role with your expertise!

To thrive as our new Senior Business Development Manager, we're seeking someone with relevant experience in business development, sales, or similar roles. You should feel comfortable expanding your network and reaching out to new partners through all available channels. Strong interpersonal and communication skills are essential. If you enjoy teamwork and want to contribute to building the best sales organization in the industry, we want to hear from you!

Required skills include:

• Experience in business development, sales, or similar customer-facing roles.
• A proactive, hunter mentality with a passion for sales.
• Ability to thrive on challenges and solve problems effectively.
• Excellent storytelling and presentation skills, able to simplify complex matters.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
