Business Developer for the DACH Region




Your role in the team:
At Applifting, our Business Development team (CAT 🐱 – Client Acquisition Team) currently has 6 people. Compared to other companies, we do many things differently:
No individual KPIs here! 🤝 Our goals are set as team targets, fully aligned with company-wide objectives.
Collaboration is key: every opportunity is tackled in dynamic duos – combining technical expertise with business skills.
Forget “cold calling” – so do we. Our outreach strategy focuses on smart approaches: being active at industry events, giving impactful talks, and teaming up with marketing.
It’s not only about winning new clients, it’s about the ones we already love. As a Business Developer, you’ll stay involved and can nurture your clients through the entire project lifecycle – from kickoff to closure. 🔥
