The posting

Company Description

Join one of Europe’s leading IoT connectivity providers. We already support more than 10,000 business customers and connect over 13 million devices worldwide. Our solutions enable innovative companies such as Tesla, DHL and Adyen to scale their connected products internationally across industries including EV charging, payments, automotive and telematics, energy, logistics, security, vending, robotics and connected machines.

To accelerate our international growth ambitions, we are expanding our direct sales team in the Netherlands. This team is focused on winning new international customers, entering new markets and helping organizations connect their assets globally. As part of this ambitious and entrepreneurial team, you will work closely with experienced colleagues who are passionate about growth, innovation and international business development.

Together, we help global organizations build secure, reliable and scalable connectivity solutions that power their business worldwide.

Job Description

International growth is a key strategic priority for our business. As International Growth Lead, you will play a pivotal role in scaling our international direct sales success into a repeatable, high-performing growth engine while strengthening our global customer and partner ecosystem.

This is a unique player-coach role, combining leadership and hands-on business development. You will build and develop a small team of international sales professionals while personally leading strategic customer opportunities and helping shape our international growth strategy.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead, coach and develop a high-performing international sales team.
  • Drive international growth by identifying new markets, building pipeline and winning new business.
  • Manage and close complex enterprise sales opportunities with multinational customers, scale-ups and OEMs.
  • Build strong relationships with C-level executives and key decision-makers.
  • Contribute to commercial strategy, including market expansion, go-to-market approaches and sales effectiveness.
  • Collaborate closely with Partner Sales, Marketing, Product, Customer Success and Delivery teams to maximize growth.

Unlike many international sales leadership positions, this role requires some but not extensive travel. You will drive international growth from the Netherlands, focusing on targeted business development and team success rather than majority of your time spent on a airplane.

You are an ambitious commercial professional with a proven track record in enterprise sales and business development. You enjoy building teams, winning strategic deals and translating commercial strategy into results. Whether you are ready for your first significant leadership role or already leading a small team, you are motivated by the opportunity to create and scale something meaningful.

This role offers a rare combination of international business development, commercial leadership, strategic influence, team building and enterprise deal-making, all within the stability of a trusted European technology leader. It is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to accelerate their career while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Qualifications

You are an entrepreneurial and commercially driven professional who thrives on identifying opportunities and turning them into results. Curious by nature, you continuously seek to understand market developments, customer needs and emerging trends, while your resilience enables you to navigate challenges and setbacks with confidence. You combine strategic thinking with a structured approach, allowing you to translate ambitious goals into clear plans and successful execution. As a strong communicator and team builder, you know how to inspire colleagues, build trust with stakeholders and foster collaboration across teams. Most importantly, you are action-oriented and focused on delivering sustainable growth and measurable business impact.

  • 8-15 years of B2B technology sales experience and proven track record in new business development
  • Proven international sales experience is a must, with a track record of developing and closing business across multiple countries and working with international stakeholders, partners, or enterprise customers.
  • Demonstrated ability to build pipeline and create opportunities from scratch
  • Experience in enterprise and consultative sales environments
  • Strong commercial, negotiation and stakeholder management skills
  • Experience coaching colleagues, leading teams or managing commercial initiatives
  • Experience within industries such as IoT, connectivity, telecom, SaaS, cloud services, automotive technology, EV charging, payments, energy, logistics or industrial technology is considered a strong advantage and will help you quickly create impact in this role.
  • Fluent in English and Dutch

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
