Business Development Manager (EMEA)

We are looking for a dynamic Business Development Manager to become a vital part of our vibrant Sales team, working across the EMEA region.  

You will play a crucial role in the expansion of our customer pipeline, and the speed with which clients and prospects engage with our sales team. This work will be split across all our key business focus areas, and your specified territory and/or specialist vertical. You will own the messaging and delivery to sell Sourceability, not individual products specifically. You will be a senior influence in our organisation and will be expected to conduct your business and yourself in an exemplary manner, providing inspiration and aspirational capabilities to the wider team. 

As a Business Development Manager, you’ll be comfortable working in focused business areas and developing key strategic approaches in partnership with various internal stakeholders. Travel will be a large part of this role, and you will be an experienced national and international traveller. Your experience will allow you to take a balanced, mature approach to collaborate with customers for long term partnership based on trust and mutual benefit. You’ll be competitive but will recognise the value and function of the wider team. You’ll enjoy coaching those around you and most importantly you’ll enjoy winning. 

Our goal is to have a sophisticated team equipped with expert technical skills in addition to keen business acumen. Each member of our team adds unique value to the business and the customer. Sourceability is committed to a culture where we attract the best talent in the industry. 

Insight on your impact:

• Proven track record of achieving profitable growth that outperforms the market.
• Deep knowledge and experience within the specific territory or vertical market, allowing for strategic insight.
• A broad and active network that can be quickly leveraged to drive business and expand the customer base in your territory.
• Confidence and ease in communicating with individuals at all organizational levels, including senior leadership (C-suite).
• Highly organized, with the ability to prioritize tasks and manage multiple responsibilities effectively.
• Experience building and maintaining clean, organized CRM pipelines and creating strategic plans for business growth.
• Ability to quickly grasp new information and align solutions with customer needs to drive success.
• Commitment to work-life balance, with flexibility to manage both professional and personal responsibilities.

• Possession of a valid passport and the ability to travel internationally as needed. 
• A strong understanding of testing and quality practices commonly used in the electronic components industry. 
• Proven experience working remotely and successfully delivering results.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with fluency in business English and the local language as required for the region.
