Sales & Business Development Manager

Business Development – Driving New Business

Combilent has had a solid and profitable business within Land Mobile Radio (LMR) for more than 20 years, and this remains a strong foundation for the company. However, our growth ambitions go beyond LMR. We have built deep expertise and strong relationships as a niche OEM supplier of mechatronics with integrated software and Radio Frequency (RF) technology and we now want to leverage this platform to build a second leg of business.

Therefore we target to develop an entirely new customer base of OEMs in sectors following today’s major technology trends, while leveraging our position as a niche OEM supplier.

Your job will be to bring new ideas and business opportunities, and open new doors through networking. We offer startup-up speed in combination with access to funding through our owner, and know-how to execute.

You will report to the CEO and work very closely with her and with the founder (CCO) of the company, who plays a pivotal role regarding products and customers.

Key Responsibilities – Building New Ground

In a small entrepreneurial team there will be good opportunities to shape the role, and you will, among other things, be responsible for:

• Identifying and developing new business beyond our current customer base by building relations with new OEM customers in emerging sectors such as Defense, AI, Drones and IoT and expanding into new verticals with current OEM’s through new networking.
• Generating and testing new business ideas through extensive networking outside our current contacts, translating market trends and macro shifts into concrete opportunities for the Combilent
• Building strong relationships and new networks with key customers and partners to generate leads and close new business
• Staying ahead of market trends, emerging technologies, and customer preferences to inform product development and sales strategy
• Building and presenting business cases for new products and market entries, including go-to-market strategies, and resource needs
• Playing an active role at all levels of the business, from high-level strategic discussions to hands-on sales and operational tasks, reflecting the entrepreneurial spirit of Combilent

What You Bring – A Networker and Idea-Generator

Most likely, you hold a degree in Engineering, Business, MBA or related field. You have 5+ years of experience in sales, business management and/or product development, in an industry that is tech focused. You have a hunter profile and get your energy from finding business opportunities and convert them into business. Furthermore, you are experienced in strategic thinking combined with an entrepreneurial mindset, and with the ability to thrive in a small business environment where everyone contributes.

What We Offer – Room to Build Something New

We offer a compensation package that matches your qualifications, including a pension and a bonus scheme, but just as importantly, we offer exciting professional challenges and a team that values openness and good collaboration as well as a culture, where we treat each other well. You will get a key role in a small, innovative company, providing opportunities to make a significant impact on the future direction of the company. You will get autonomy to shape and lead new business ventures, with the opportunity to influence both product development and acquisition strategies.
