The posting

Lead the next phase of Forterro's global growth

As Forterro continues to grow across Europe and North America, we are investing in a more unified and scalable approach to business development.

We're looking for an experienced Head of Business Development Representatives (BDR) to lead our global sales development organisation and play a key role in shaping how pipeline is generated across our portfolio of software businesses.

This is a unique opportunity to bring together regional teams, establish best-in-class processes, develop future sales talent, and create a consistent approach to pipeline generation across multiple markets, products and customer segments.

Based in the UK, you will work closely with Sales, Marketing, RevOps and Enablement leaders to drive alignment, improve performance, and build a high-performing business development function that supports Forterro's continued growth.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to make a lasting impact on a business serving more than 13,000 customers across Europe and beyond.

The Opportunity

This role combines strategy, leadership and execution.

You'll be responsible for developing a clear vision for the global BDR function whilst ensuring teams are equipped, motivated and aligned to deliver sustainable pipeline growth.

Success in this role will come from your ability to create consistency across regions, develop high-performing teams and implement scalable processes that improve conversion rates and sales outcomes.

You'll act as a key partner to commercial leadership, helping to ensure that lead generation, qualification and handover processes are optimised across the organisation.

Responsibilities

Global Team Leadership

  • Lead, develop and inspire BDR leaders and team members across Europe and North America.
  • Build a unified and collaborative culture across multiple geographies, languages and time zones.
  • Create a high-performance environment based on accountability, coaching and continuous improvement.
  • Support career development and succession planning across the BDR organisation.
  • Establish clear expectations, development plans and performance standards.

Business Development Strategy

  • Define and implement the global BDR strategy in alignment with Forterro's commercial objectives.
  • Drive consistency in outreach methodologies, qualification frameworks and pipeline generation activities.
  • Analyse performance across regions and identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Ensure best practices are shared and adopted across the organisation.
  • Continuously evaluate market trends, customer behaviour and sales development approaches.

Performance Management & KPIs

  • Establish a clear and consistent framework for measuring success.
  • Define and manage key productivity, pipeline and conversion metrics.
  • Monitor regional performance and provide actionable insights to stakeholders.
  • Use data to identify opportunities, remove blockers and improve efficiency.
  • Drive accountability through regular reviews and performance management processes.

Process Optimisation & Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner closely with Sales, Marketing, RevOps and Enablement teams to optimise lead flow and conversion.
  • Improve processes across inbound and outbound motions.
  • Ensure smooth and consistent handover of qualified opportunities into Sales.
  • Support the implementation and adoption of tools, systems and reporting frameworks.
  • Drive operational excellence and scalability across the BDR function.

Talent Attraction, Development & Enablement

  • Partner with Talent Acquisition to attract and hire exceptional BDR talent.
  • Support onboarding and ramp-up programmes for new hires.
  • Ensure ongoing coaching, training and skills development.
  • Build clear progression pathways into sales and commercial leadership roles.
  • Strengthen engagement and retention across the team.

  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
