Full Job Description
Location: Amsterdam (hybrid).

Type: Full-time

The role

We're hiring a Business Development Manager to help drive Dealroom's growth by owning the full commercial cycle from first contact to long-term customer relationships in North America.

This is a full-cycle, high-ownership role. You'll work directly with decision-makers, sell a complex data product, and help shape how Dealroom grows across markets and continents.

You won't be following a rigid script. You'll be expected to understand our customers, spot opportunities, and build a pipeline in a thoughtful, targeted way.

What you'll do
  • Build and develop a pipeline
  • Identify and prioritize high-potential accounts across regions and industries
  • Run outbound efforts using research, insight and relevance - not volume for volume's sake
  • Use LinkedIn, email, events and warm introductions as part of a broader approach
  • Own deals end-to-end
  • Prospect, qualify, run demos, negotiate and close new customers
  • Manage longer, consultative sales cycles with senior stakeholders
  • Ensure clean handovers and strong early customer experience
  • Sell through insight, not hype
  • Understand customer use cases (VCs, corporates, public sector, ecosystem builders)
  • Position Dealroom as a strategic tool, not just a data subscription
  • Tailor demos and conversations to real customer problems and decisions
  • Contribute beyond your quota
  • Share feedback with product and marketing on messaging, use cases and objections
  • Help refine our sales motion as we expand into new markets
  • Play an active role in how we scale commercially


  • Experience in a full-cycle sales or business development role (SaaS, data, platforms, or complex B2B products)
  • Comfortable with outbound prospecting, but selective and thoughtful in approach
  • Experience selling to senior or expert audiences (strategy, investment, innovation, policy, etc.)
  • Strong communication skills: able to explain complex value clearly and credibly
  • Curious, analytical mindset; you enjoy understanding markets and customers
  • Familiar with CRMs (HubSpot) and managing your own pipeline
  • Fluent in English; additional languages are a plus


Why this role?

Real ownership: you manage your deals and influence how we grow

International scope: Europe today, global ambition

High exposure: work closely with leadership, product and marketing

Product with substance: you're selling insight, not shelfware

Competitive base salary, commission and stock options

Flexible working setup (remote-friendly, Amsterdam office open)

Strong benefits package and personal development budget

A diverse, international team with a flat structure and high trust
