The posting

Who we are

We are a leader in mobile technology, providing innovative solutions to 1.2 billion consumers. In an ever-increasing digital world, we help businesses grow their digital reach & toolkits to optimize user experience, increase engagement, attract new customers, and boost their revenues.

Think of performance marketing but on steroids as our top-notch marketeers and engineers build digital journeys through an omnichannel marketing approach like no other. Currently, we work with the biggest names in Telco, Insurance, Education, FMCGs, and Retail in over 45 countries in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and South-East Asia.

The Role

We are looking for a Business Development Manager to drive growth across Europe by expanding our footprint with Mobile Network Operators, strategic partners, and enterprise clients. This is a commercially focused role combining new business acquisition, strategic account development, and solution selling across Upstream’s full portfolio.

You will work closely with the Product, Pre-Sales, and Customer Success teams to position Upstream as a long-term strategic partner rather than a point-solution provider. You will be reporting to C-level leadership.

*This position is Fully Remote - Open to candidates based anywhere in the European Union

Key Responsibilities:

New Business & Market Expansion

  • Identify, qualify, and close new business opportunities with MNOs, MVNOs, and strategic partners across Europe
  • Own the full sales cycle: prospecting, pitching, commercial negotiations, and contract closure
  • Develop market entry strategies for new European markets in collaboration with leadership

Account & Partner Management

  • Build and grow long-term relationships with key decision-makers (Commercial, Marketing, CVM, Digital, IT)
  • Expand existing accounts through upselling and cross-selling of Upstream’s solutions (Grow, Mobile Identity, Secure-D, Digital Services)
  • Act as the commercial lead for strategic partnerships and joint go-to-market initiatives

Solution & Value-Based Selling

  • Position Upstream’s platforms as revenue-generating and engagement-driving solutions, not just technology
  • Translate operator and enterprise needs into tailored commercial and technical proposals
  • Work closely with Pre-Sales to shape proposals, pricing models, and business cases

Commercial Strategy & Forecasting

  • Own revenue targets and pipeline for assigned territories
  • Maintain accurate sales forecasts and CRM reporting
  • Monitor market trends, competitive landscape, and regulatory considerations

Requirements

Experience

  • 5-10 years of experience in Business Development, Sales, or Strategic Partnerships
  • Strong background in telecom, mobile marketing, CPaaS, AdTech, MarTech, or digital services
  • Proven track record of selling complex B2B solutions in Europe
  • Experience working with Mobile Network Operators is a strong plus

Soft Skills

  • Strong commercial acumen and negotiation skills
  • Ability to sell consultatively and navigate long enterprise sales cycles
  • Comfortable working with technical and product teams
  • Excellent presentation and communication skills in English
  • Additional European languages are a plus

Mindset

  • Entrepreneurial, proactive, and results-driven
  • Thrives in a fast-paced, international environment
  • Strategic thinker with a hands-on execution-focused approach

Benefits

We offer a competitive base salary and benefits, directly dependent on the candidate’s qualifications and skills. The real excitement comes from working closely with a dynamic, smart, agile, and highly motivated team in a competitive and fast-paced environment.

Why it works

3×

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.
