Business Development Executive Midlands

Are you an ambitious go-getter looking to kickstart your career in sales within an international company? We’re looking for a curious, energetic Business Developer to help us grow in the UK. This is the perfect opportunity for a junior professional who loves connecting with people, discovering opportunities, and making things happen. On top of that at IXON, personal growth is a top priority. We believe in investing in our talent, which is why we provide a comprehensive onboarding program and ongoing mentorship to help you sharpen your sales skills.

At IXON, we connect machines with their builders. We are at the forefront of revolutionising the way machines are connected, monitored and controlled. By providing an end-to-end solution, consisting of our in-house developed cloud platform and connectivity hardware, we empower machine builders with the tools and technology to stay future-proof and transform the way they do business. All with one goal: more efficient production with the lowest possible impact on the world.

As a Business Developer, you’ll be the driving force behind our local presence in the United Kingdom. While we already have a solid foundation, the potential is much higher. That is where you come in. It is your mission to be our customer's local go-to person to get the most out of IXON's solution. On a daily basis, you will be involved in the following activities:

• Managing and expanding the network of machine builders using IXON's solution.
• Strengthening relationships by understanding customer needs and clearly communicating IXON's proposition.
• Guiding customers through the purchasing process using "The Great Demo" method.
• Measuring deal success based on the number of New Customers and Gross New ARR.
• Inspiring customers and identifying possibilities for upsell.
• Working effectively with internal colleagues from Solution Engineering, Marketing, and Product Support.

What makes you successful:

• You are an entrepreneurial "hunter" who thrives on opening doors and turning conversations into commercial success.
• You are proactive, eager to learn, and value being part of an international, fast-paced team.
• You are a starter or junior professional with a strong commercial drive.
• 1 to 2 years of experience in a B2B sales or business development role is a plus.
• You have a "hunter mindset" and are not afraid to pick up the phone or visit new prospects.
• You are able to establish strong personal connections with technical professionals.
• You have a technical background or a strong affinity for the machine building industry.
• You are based in the Midlands (the triangle between Birmingham, Manchester, and Nottingham).
• You are willing to travel to IXON HQ in the Netherlands for onboarding (1-2 weeks) and occasionally thereafter.

Here’s what we offer you:

At IXON, you will join an international and dynamic environment, where you can make an immediate impact and grow rapidly. Together with your colleagues, you will contribute to the development of our innovative organisation. You get the opportunity to unlock your potential in a dynamic work environment where autonomy, a vibrant work culture, personal growth and meaningful contributions in industrial automation awaits you. Of course, we reward your dedication with a competitive salary and excellent secondary benefits.
