Business Development Associate
Beacon Talent
Role Description We're scaling our sales organization and looking for a Business Development Associate who sells the way we serve our clients: consultatively. This is not a spray-and-pray, dial-for-dollars job. It's a role for someone who leads with curiosity, takes the time to understand a prospect's business, and earns trust before asking for the meeting. - Start at the top of the funnel — researching accounts, crafting thoughtful outreach, and booking discovery meetings alongside our Head of Business Development. - As you sharpen your skills and build a track record, you'll earn the opportunity to carry your own quota, run deals end-to-end, and grow into a full-cycle seller. - Your commission is uncapped, so as you take on more, your earnings grow right along with you. Qualifications - Curiosity & business acumen: Genuinely interested in how companies work, what they're building, and the problems they're trying to solve. - A consultative, empathetic seller: Puts others first and seeks to understand the feelings and motivations of the people you talk to. - Excellent verbal and written communication: Unparalleled ability to collect, synthesize, and socialize key information. - Tenacity and determination: Not afraid of rejection and can persevere through tough stretches without losing standards. - Results-oriented: Makes decisions with an objective-driven approach and solves problems to hit goals. - Coachable: Strong desire to grow personally and professionally, listens, seeks to understand, and applies feedback. - Organized & on top of your time: Adheres to established processes, prioritizes and plans your day, and follows through reliably on commitments. Requirements - Identify prospective customers and run targeted, creative outreach (email, social, phone, physical mail, and more) to book discovery meetings with qualified leads. - Develop a deep understanding of Beacon's mission, vision, service offering, value proposition, and ideal customer profile. - Maintain relationships with qualified prospects through consistent, value-add touchpoints over email and LinkedIn. - Use our CRM to track, record, and maintain the accuracy of our sales pipeline. - Participate in discovery meetings with our Head of Business Development, capturing notes and next steps in our CRM. - Partner with our Head of Business Development to hit our quarterly revenue targets. - Test and provide feedback on positioning and messaging to continuously improve our go-to-market. - Grow into ownership by taking on your own pipeline and quota and running deals from first touch to close. Benefits - Quality > Quantity: Focus on the quality of accounts rather than high volume. - Sustainable > Fast: Prioritizes sustainable growth over speed. - Career > Job: Invests in your training and development with a real path forward. - Direct access to the ecosystem: Work alongside founders, VCs, and executive teams at exciting early-stage companies. - Room to grow: Learn from experienced operators in a collaborative, high-trust environment. Compensation - This is a commission-driven role with meaningful, uncapped upside. - $110,000–$120,000 OTE, split 50/50 between base salary and variable commission. - Uncapped commission — your earning potential scales directly with the accounts you bring on. - Strong performers can earn beyond OTE.

Role Description Du bist die Person, die Banken, Versicherungen und Enterprise-Kunden nicht kalt anruft – sondern die, die sie schon kennen. Bei SQUER helfen wir unseren Kunden, zu AI-native Engineering Organizations zu werden – von Individualsoftware über Platform Engineering bis hin zu AI & Data. Wir sind in Deutschland präsent und wachsen – und suchen jetzt jemanden, der dieses Wachstum aktiv formt. Nicht verwaltet. Gestaltet. - Marktentwicklung Deutschland: Du baust unsere Präsenz im deutschen Enterprise- und FSI-Markt systematisch aus – auf Basis bestehender Kundenbeziehungen, gezielter Netzwerkpflege und echter Präsenz auf den richtigen Konferenzen und in den richtigen Gesprächen. - Strategische Pipeline: Du entwickelst und pflegst eine nachhaltige Sales-Pipeline – von der ersten Kontaktaufnahme bis zur strukturierten Übergabe an unsere Business Unit Leads. Du bringst den Deal ins Haus, das Team macht ihn groß. - Pre-Sales Ownership: Du führst eigenständig erste Bedarfsanalysen und Discovery Workshops durch – du schaffst Klarheit auf Kundenseite, bevor unsere Expert:innen übernehmen. - Positionierung: Du verstehst, was es bedeutet, eine Organisation zur AI-native Engineering Organization zu entwickeln – und kannst dieses Narrativ überzeugend in den Kontext von Kundenproblemen setzen, egal ob es um Softwaretransformation, Platform Engineering, AI & Data oder Individualsoftware geht. - Thought Leadership: Du repräsentierst SQUER glaubwürdig gegenüber CIOs, CTOs und Entscheider:innen auf C-Level – nicht mit Pitch-Deck-Energie, sondern mit echtem Verständnis. - SQUER mitgestalten: Du gibst Feedback nach innen – dein Marktgespür fließt direkt in unsere Weiterentwicklung ein. Bei SQUER formen die, die draußen sind, auch das, was drinnen passiert. Qualifications - Netzwerk: Du hast ein gewachsenes Netzwerk im deutschen FSI- und/oder Enterprise-Umfeld – Kontakte, die auf deinen Anruf antworten, nicht nur deine LinkedIn-Anfragen. - Beratungshintergrund: Du kommst aus der IT-Beratung oder Individualsoftwareentwicklung und weißt, wie komplexe Projekte entstehen, was sie scheitern lässt – und was Kunden wirklich brauchen. - Technisches Verständnis: Du kannst auf Augenhöhe mit Architekt:innen und CTOs sprechen – nicht weil du alles weißt, sondern weil du die richtigen Fragen stellst und technische Zusammenhänge verstehst. - Pre-Sales Erfahrung: Du hast Discovery Workshops und Pre-Sales Prozesse bereits eigenständig geführt und weißt, wie man aus einem ersten Gespräch ein konkretes Mandat macht. - Unternehmerisches Mindset: Du brauchst keine enge Führung. Du setzt dir eigene Ziele, erkennst Chancen und handelst – bevor jemand fragt. Diese Rolle ist eine Aufbaurolle mit echtem Gestaltungsspielraum – und genau das treibt dich an. - Sprache: Fließendes Deutsch und Englisch ist Voraussetzung. - AI-native: Du nutzt AI-Tools aktiv in deiner Arbeit – oder bist ernsthaft bereit, damit anzufangen. Benefits - Ownership & Verantwortung: Bei SQUER glauben wir daran, unser Team zu stärken. In unseren flachen Hierarchien zählen deine Ideen und Entscheidungen mehr als Titel. Gestalte mit, mach einen Unterschied und wachse mit uns. - Lernen & Wachsen: Nutze ein jährliches Weiterbildungsbudget von € 5.000, profitiere von unserer internen Leadership Academy und werde Teil unserer aktiven Tech-Community durch Meetups, Hackathons und Trainings. Bis zu 40 Stunden/Jahr zusätzliche Freizeit für deine persönliche Weiterbildung. - Spannende Herausforderungen & echter Impact: Tauche ein in vielfältige Projekte, bei denen deine Arbeit wirklich etwas bewegt – für unsere Kunden und für SQUER. - Flexibilität für Performance: Full Remote möglich. Flexible Arbeitszeiten, Workations innerhalb der EU und zusätzliche Urlaubstage – du hast die Freiheit, dein Bestes zu geben. - Die richtigen Tools: Wähle deine bevorzugte Hardware-Konfiguration und nutze unsere AI-Tools und Lizenzen (Anthropic, OpenAI u.v.m.) passend zu deinem Arbeitsstil. - Wir schätzen dich: Wir bieten ein wettbewerbsfähiges Vergütungspaket – bestehend aus einem attraktiven Fixgehalt und einer variablen Komponente, die deinen Erfolg wirklich widerspiegelt. - Teil einer lebendigen Teamkultur: Bei SQUER stehen Zusammenarbeit und Verbindung im Mittelpunkt. Durch offene Kommunikation, gemeinsame Erfolge und bedeutungsvolle Team-Events – einschließlich unseres jährlichen SQUER Offsites – schaffen wir eine Kultur, in der sich alle wertgeschätzt und inspiriert fühlen. - Flexibles Arbeitsmodell & Benefits: Unser Münchner Office (nahe Ostbahnhof) steht dir jederzeit offen.
