Compensation: Competitive base + uncapped commission + KPI-linked equity vesting

Quontex (founded 2019) builds augmented nearshore engineering teams and delivers full solution ownership for EU/US clients. We combine senior talent in EU and Ukraine with transparent delivery and strong product engineering practices. We are in a

significant growth stage, and seeking an ambitious BD leader to support our growth.

The Opportunity

Own the end-to-end commercial engine alongside the founders. You’ll run full-cycle sales, shape GTM, and — once repeatability is in place — hire and lead sales, marketing, and pre-sales. This isn’t a “presentation-only” role; it’s a high-impact, outcome-focused position with substantial upside.

What you’ll do

• Own pipeline & revenue for nearshore teams and solution delivery services in EU/US markets.
• Drive prospecting → qualification → discovery → solution shaping → proposal → negotiation → close.
• Build channel/partner motions where appropriate (ISVs, consultancies, cloud partners).
• Collaborate with delivery leaders to craft credible estimates, roadmaps, and SOWs.
• Stand up or refine CRM, forecasting, and reporting; enable data-driven decisions.
• Define positioning, pricing, and collateral with marketing; ensure message-market fit.
• Establish reference customers and case studies; systematize win-loss feedback loops.
• Recruit and develop a small BD/marketing/pre-sales team as growth milestones are met.

What success looks like (illustrative)

• 90 days: Clear ICP & messaging, active outbound sequences, ≥3× coverage on first-quarter target, predictable forecasting cadence.
• 6 months: Repeatable proposals/SOW templates, ≥2 new clients closed, partner pipeline live.
• 12 months: Sustainable 3–4× pipeline coverage, healthy win rate, first hires onboarded, revenue growth on track with plan.

What you bring

• 3–6 years selling software outsourcing/nearshore or custom product engineering services.
• Consistent quota attainment and a track record of closing multi-stakeholder service deals.
• Strong network in EU and/or US buyer communities (product, engineering, CTO, procurement).
• Mastery of consultative selling: uncover business pain, design credible solutions, and negotiate commercial terms.
• Experience collaborating with delivery/engineering to price and shape deals (T&M, dedicated teams, fixed-scope).
• Fluency in English; additional European languages are a plus.
