Business Development Lead (Software Services)

Work model: Remote-first (EU time zones) with hubs in Portugal, Poland, Ukraine
Reporting to: Founders
Compensation: Competitive base + uncapped commission + KPI-linked equity vesting
 

About US:

Founded in 2019, we build augmented nearshore engineering teams and delivers end-to-end solution ownership for EU and US clients.
We combine senior engineering talent in Poland, Portugal, and Ukraine with transparent delivery, strong product engineering practices, and a pragmatic, founder-led culture.

We’re entering a significant growth phase and are looking for an ambitious Business Development Lead to help scale our commercial engine.
 

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on, high-impact role working directly with the founders.
You’ll own full-cycle sales, shape go-to-market strategy, and—once repeatability is proven—build and lead sales, marketing, and pre-sales functions.

This is not a presentation-only role. It’s about closing deals, building momentum, and creating a scalable revenue system—with meaningful upside.
 

What You’ll Do

• Own pipeline and revenue for nearshore teams and solution delivery services across EU and US markets
• Drive the full sales cycle: prospecting, qualification, discovery, solution shaping, proposal, negotiation, and close
• Build partner and channel motions where relevant (ISVs, consultancies, cloud partners)
• Collaborate closely with delivery leaders to create credible estimates, roadmaps, and SOWs
• Set up and refine CRM, forecasting, and reporting to support data-driven decisions
• Define positioning, pricing, and sales collateral together with marketing; ensure strong message–market fit
• Establish reference customers and case studies; systematize win/loss feedback loops
• Hire, mentor, and lead a small BD / marketing / pre-sales team as growth milestones are reached
   

What Success Looks Like

First 90 days

• Clear ICP definition and messaging
• Active outbound sequences live
• ≥3× pipeline coverage on first-quarter target

What You Bring

• 3–6 years of experience selling software outsourcing, nearshore, or custom product engineering services
• Proven track record of quota attainment and closing complex, multi-stakeholder service deals
• Strong network among EU and/or US buyers (Product, Engineering, CTO, Procurement)
• Deep consultative selling skills: uncovering business pain, shaping solutions, and negotiating commercial terms
• Experience working closely with delivery and engineering teams on pricing and deal structures (T&M, dedicated teams, fixed scope)
• Fluent English (additional European languages are a plus)
   

Nice to Have

• Experience in adtech, data & analytics, fintech, SaaS, MarTech, or cloud modernization
• Background in building early GTM playbooks (ICP, sequences, collateral, KPIs)
• Familiarity with HubSpot or Salesforce, proposal automation, and RFP/RFI processes
