About the role

Full text from the employer, as published on Arbeitnow, arranged into sections. Nothing added or removed.

SMARTVÉLO is a fast-growing company for sustainable e-mobility solutions. We develop e-bikes that are changing everyday city life, and we stand for top quality and excellent service. Become part of this vision!

As Business Developer (m/f/d), you will build our business in the Netherlands and Belgium from the ground up. You will bring SMARTVÉLO e-bikes to new customers in delivery, logistics, restaurants and franchise chains, set up pilots and turn them into long-term fleet deals. You will be our first person on the ground, with a lot of freedom, short decision paths and direct contact with management.

01Your tasks

  • Generate new business: You create your own opportunities through cold calling, LinkedIn outreach and visiting stores and branches in person

  • Set up pilots: You bring new customers on board with pilots and convert them into long-term contracts

  • Consultative selling: Our product is high-end and priced accordingly. You understand the customer's delivery operation and show why it pays off

  • Target the right segments: You focus on delivery and last-mile, restaurant chains and franchises, grocery retail and care services

  • Stakeholder management: You talk with operations as well as management and build lasting relationships

  • Interface to Cologne: You work closely with our sales team and management in Germany and give feedback from the market

02Your profile

  • 2-5 years of commercial experience with a real track record in new business (not pure account management)

  • Proven experience with cold outreach: you have booked meetings yourself, by phone or in person, without waiting for inbound leads

  • Affinity with mobility, e-bikes, fleet, delivery, logistics, restaurants or franchise

  • Hunter mentality: entrepreneurial, practical, direct and accountable

  • Comfortable with targets, rejection and ambiguity. Not every process is set in stone with us yet

  • Ambition to grow into a senior role

  • Based in or around Utrecht (or within easy reach of central NL), willing to travel a lot

  • Fluent Dutch, good English (German is a plus)

03What we offer

  • €50,000 fixed salary plus uncapped bonus: the more e-bikes you sell, the more you earn

  • Company car for your customer visits

  • Real ownership: you build a new market for SMARTVÉLO from scratch

  • Flexible work from home, with at least one team meeting per week

  • Profitable scale-up from Cologne with strong customers (Flink, Wolt, Domino's) and clear growth plans in DACH and the EU

  • State-of-the-art equipment (iPhone & Lenovo laptop)

  • Regular feedback meetings for your development

You don't just want a job, you want to make a difference? Then you've come to the right place!

We look forward to meeting you - make it ride!
