## Description

German-Speaking Business Development Executive – Part-Time

Love the thrill of opening doors that weren’t open yesterday?

We’re looking for a **driven, energetic Business Development Executive** who knows how to turn a cold prospect into a real conversation — and a real conversation into a qualified sales opportunity.

This is a **part-time opportunity** for someone who enjoys prospecting, connecting, influencing and winning, and who wants the flexibility of working on a part-time basis.

This isn’t a role for someone who wants to sit back and wait for leads to arrive.

It’s for someone who enjoys **prospecting, connecting, influencing and winning**.

You’ll be joining one of our clients, an exciting **technology-focused organisation providing solutions to businesses looking to improve their e-commerce, returns and customer experience processes**, and playing a key role in building their pipeline across the **German-speaking market**.

Experience selling **SaaS, e-commerce technology, retail technology, returns management, logistics, customer experience solutions or other B2B technology solutions** would be particularly relevant.

If you’re naturally curious, commercially minded and motivated by seeing your name on the scoreboard, we want to hear from you.

### What you'll be doing

You’ll be at the front line of new business — identifying the right companies, finding the right people and starting conversations that matter.

Your day will include:

-   **Hunting for new opportunities** and identifying high-potential prospects across the German-speaking market.
-   **Creating conversations** through a multi-channel approach — telephone, email and LinkedIn.
-   **Engaging prospects** and building relationships from the very first interaction.
-   **Booking high-quality meetings** and creating Sales Qualified Leads for the sales team.
-   **Understanding prospect needs** and qualifying opportunities against agreed criteria.
-   **Keeping the momentum high**, managing a consistent volume of outbound activity while maintaining quality.
-   **Owning your CRM activity** in Salesforce, ensuring account data, activity, qualification details and market feedback are accurate and up to date.
-   **Working closely with Enterprise Sales and Inside Sales** to turn qualified opportunities into pipeline.
-   **Tracking your performance**, understanding what works and continually improving your approach.
-   **Helping evolve the sales process**, sharing market insight and ideas that can make the team even more effective.
-   **Hitting — and ideally smashing — your monthly qualified-lead targets.**

## Requirements

### Who are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone who gets genuinely excited by **new business**.

Someone who doesn't hear "cold call" and immediately reach for the coffee machine.

You’ll ideally have:

-   **2+ years of B2B sales experience**, ideally selling IT technologies, SaaS, e-commerce, retail technology, logistics, customer experience solutions or similar.
-   A genuine passion for **prospecting and new business development**.
-   Experience with **cold calling, email outreach, LinkedIn and account-based prospecting**.
-   A high-energy, resilient and positive attitude.
-   The ability to handle a **high volume of outbound activity** without losing focus or enthusiasm.
-   A competitive mindset — you want to win, but you also know how to be a great teammate.
-   Strong commercial instincts and the ability to identify what makes a prospect worth pursuing.
-   Confidence using **Salesforce or other CRM and sales-engagement platforms**.
-   Excellent organisational skills and the ability to prioritise when things get busy.
-   The creativity to try something different.

### Ready to make an impact?

If you're a **fluent German-speaking B2B technology salesperson** who loves the hunt, thrives on targets and wants to build something rather than simply manage what's already there, **Excelerate360 would love to hear from you.**

**Fluent German, spoken and written, is a non-negotiable requirement for this role.**

**Apply now — and let's start a conversation.**
