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.

Your 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

Your 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)
