Business Development Representative

What you will do as a Business Development Representative

You’ll play an important role in growing Akkuro Lending. You’ll identify potential customers, understand their business and challenges, and connect with the people involved in lending, technology and digital transformation. We believe good business development starts with relevance. That means understanding an organisation before reaching out and focusing on quality conversations rather than simply increasing activity.  

You will:

• Research and prioritise banks, lenders and other financial institutions
• Identify and engage relevant decision-makers and stakeholders
• Reach out through LinkedIn, email, phone and other channels
• Start conversations and uncover potential business needs
• Qualify opportunities and involve the enterprise sales team at the right time
• Work closely with the commercial team on target accounts and market opportunities
• Manage your pipeline and work towards clear commercial targets
  

Your goal is simple: create high-quality opportunities that contribute to Akkuro Lending’s growth.

Who we're looking for

You’re commercially minded, curious and confident in approaching new people. You take the time to understand who you’re speaking to and can turn that understanding into a relevant conversation.

Ideally, you bring:

• 1–4 years of experience in B2B sales, business development or a similar commercial role
• A proactive approach and an interest in developing new business
• Strong research skills and the ability to identify the right people within an organisation
• Confidence communicating with senior professionals
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in both Dutch and English
• An interest in fintech, lending or financial services

You don’t need to be a lending expert from day one. What matters is that you’re eager to learn, take ownership and enjoy building new commercial relationships.

What you can expect

Akkuro Lending is growing, and there’s plenty of opportunity to grow with us. You’ll work closely with experienced commercial colleagues, gain exposure to complex enterprise sales and have the opportunity to influence how we approach the market. We offer a competitive base salary with performance-based variable compensation, hybrid working, strong pension and mobility arrangements, and opportunities to develop into broader commercial roles.
