Summary: Join as a dedicated Business Development Manager to drive enterprise sales in the DACH market, focusing on pipeline generation and strategic consulting partnerships. Highlights: 1. Anchor the first commercial seat in Lisbon, contributing to strategic growth 2. Collaborate closely with senior consultants on enterprise solutions 3. Engage in complex B2B sales within the German-speaking market **About the Role** ------------------ You'll be the second dedicated BDM seat selling our HubSpot consulting and Agentic Growth Stack into the DACH enterprise market, working from our Lisbon hub. Our growth today is supply\-constrained on the commercial side, not the delivery side.

The bar at 12 months is €500k in net\-new logo ACV (signed, not pipeline) and €2M qualified pipeline maintained on a rolling basis. You'll be the first commercial seat in Lisbon, with the option to anchor the next commercial hire in Portugal in 2027\. **A note on background.** We hire on enterprise B2B services\-selling fundamentals and DACH market fluency, not on platform\-specific tenure. If your background is Salesforce Partner, Microsoft Dynamics Partner, ServiceNow, SAP CX, or adjacent SaaS and MarTech (Adobe, Marketo, Pardot, Outreach, Gainsight, Zendesk), we want to talk to you. We invest 3 months in HubSpot ramp covering product depth, persona pain, and our Agentic Growth Stack positioning.
