HQ - US
Full-time
Permanent employee

Who we are:

We are an owner-managed, medium-sized company based in Germany. As one of Europe’s leading providers of modular storage buildings, we specialise in engineering lightweight construction technologies. 

Position Summary: The Business Development Representative is responsible for proactive opportunity creation by identifying, engaging, and qualifying strategic accounts and business opportunities before they enter the active sales pipeline. 

This role focuses on early-stage engagement, relationship development, and strategic account targeting—not closing deals. 

Additionally, we are investing in a comprehensive marketing strategy that includes Google advertising, LinkedIn campaigns, social media outreach, SEO, email marketing, and other digital initiatives. Together with your work this leads to a scalable lead generation campaign.
