The role, in one line

Payhawk has passed $100M ARR and is opening a new office in Stockholm. As our first Business Development Representative in Sweden, you will be the first to introduce Payhawk to potential customers there.

• Use marketing-led demand generation campaigns to identify and follow up with prospects, build relationships and generate leads.
• Build a strong sales pipeline for the Swedish market, targeting companies with 200+ employees that fit our Ideal Customer Profile.
• Proactively find new niches and come up with new campaign ideas to keep improving your outreach.
• Analyse your outreach and campaign results, and use what you learn to refine future strategies.
• Manage a pipeline of potential clients, with steady coverage that helps you exceed your monthly targets and supports sustainable growth.

What you will need

• The drive to exceed sales targets and progress your career quickly.
• Motivation to make a measurable impact.
• Resilience and a growth mindset.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.

What you will get

• Change the view — a week-long exchange to London, Amsterdam, Paris, Munich, Vilnius, Berlin, Sofia, or Barcelona
• Win together, celebrate together — regular team-wide events that are actually worth showing up to
• Covered, properly — additional medical care
• Stay in the game — a sports card, fully funded, for the gym, classes, or your sport of choice
• Commute easily — a monthly travel allowance that covers getting to and from the office
• Use what you build — hands-on access to the actual product you're hiring people to help build
