Business Development Manager

Your challenge

Finding new business is what makes you smile! As Business Development Manager (BDM), you create and expand our business lines New Energy and/or Industrial. Some examples of products in these business lines are EV chargers, motor controllers, power convertors and HMI’s. You act as our chief evangelist in these topics, to make sure potential customers know the added value AME has!

Your tasks

Creating business is easier said than done. As any sales person knows, you would have to sow before you can harvest. This means being active in the market, visiting customers and expos. To a certain extent, you have a bit of an easy job as you are developing in a growing market. As the entire world needs to switch from fossil to EV, the market is open for new solutions.

You live and breathe new business. Opening doors and developing leads into long term partners is what makes you get up in the morning. This also means following up on traditional leads like marketing leads or sales expos. We expect this person to be traveling to customers approximately 30% of the time.

As Business Development Manager, you really own “your” business lines. You open doors in your business and connect opportunities to our internal organisation. Integrating the development team into the discussions you have with future customers brings a concrete action plan on the table. This development team initially consists of System Architect and Project Manager.

Who are you

To start off, the profile you are about to read is something like a wish list. We understand that not every good candidate will tick all the boxes. Therefore, if you think this is the perfect job for you, please apply anyway. However, please do motivate your thoughts as to why you think you are the right candidate for us.

That said, the ideal Business Development manager has a profile like this:

• Strong new business background, having developed markets for several years
• Having knowledge about new product development, ideally also connected with the manufacturing cycles that follow
• You have a strong background in the industrial and/or electrification businesses
• Educational level of at least Bachelors, preferably in a technical field
• Fluent in English and preferably in Dutch

As a person, you are:

• Strong communicator, able to speak with people from different backgrounds and cultures
• Cooperative, you know you can’t do this without the rest of the organisation
• Charismatic, people remember you and the message you once brought!
