Job Overview a leading, German-based manufacturer of high-precision laser processing and automation systems for the electronics industry. As we expand our footprint in the United States, we are seeking a driven, analytical, and proactive Business Development Representative.

In this role, you will report directly to our US Business Development Manager. Your primary mission will be to hunt for new opportunities, break into new accounts, and aggressively grow our sales pipeline. This is a high-impact, entry-level position perfect for someone looking to build a career in technical sales and B2B business development.

Key Responsibilities

· Targeted Lead Generation: Research and identify manufacturing facilities, electronics OEMs, and contract manufacturers in the US that can benefit from our high-precision processing platforms.

· Pipeline Building & Outbound Prospecting: Execute multi-channel outreach campaigns (cold calling, targeted emailing, and LinkedIn networking) to connect with key decision-makers, including Engineering Managers, Production Heads, and other decision makers.

· Inbound & Technical Qualification: Field incoming US inquiries, asking targeted questions to qualify leads based on their production needs, volume requirements, and budget.

· Meeting Generation: Successfully pitch our capabilities to secure introductory technical meetings and discovery calls for the Business Development Manager.

· CRM & Market Intelligence: Maintain meticulous records of all prospecting activities, company contacts, and lead statuses in our CRM system to ensure no opportunity falls through the cracks.

· Cross-Border Collaboration: Liaise occasionally with our global headquarters in Germany to align on marketing materials, product documentation, and technical capabilities.

Qualifications & Skills

· Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Engineering, Communications or a related technical field.

· Experience: 0–2 years of experience in outbound sales, lead generation, or corporate prospecting (experience in a B2B tech or manufacturing environment is a massive plus).

· Communication Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable translating technical concepts into clear business value over the phone and via email.

· Grit and Persistence: High resilience and a systematic approach to outbound prospecting—someone who views "no" as just a step closer to a "yes."

· Tech Stack: Familiarity with CRM software (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot) and professional prospecting tools (e.g., LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo) is highly preferred.

· Cultural Awareness: Comfortable working within an international corporate structure and collaborating with global teams.

What We Offer

· Competitive base salary with an aggressive performance-based commission structure tied directly to pipeline growth and qualified meetings set.

· Direct, one-on-one mentorship and training from our US Business Development Manager.

· Clear pathway to transition into a full Business Development Manager or Account Executive role as our US operations scale.
