Senior International Business Developer - Water Infrastructure

We're looking for a Senior International Business Developer

Ready to accelerate global growth in smart water infrastructure? Acquaint is looking for a hands-on Senior Business Developer who wants to open new markets, win complex international B2B deals and build a scalable global sales structure together with the CEO and the existing sales team. This is a unique opportunity to shape our international expansion and directly contribute to solving major water infrastructure challenges worldwide.

The world's underground water and wastewater pressure pipelines are aging at a steady pace. Without reliable condition data, pipeline owners (water utilities and municipalities) must rely on theoretical models for multi-million-euro investment decisions. Acquaint changes this.

We have developed the inline inspection platforms Acquarius and Acquabrella, combining ultrasound and electromagnetic sensors with advanced data analytics to provide accurate and actionable insights to asset managers worldwide.

With around 35 colleagues, we are a pragmatic and growing organisation with short decision lines. We trust our people to take ownership and offer flexibility in how and where you work. We communicate directly, collaborate closely and act quickly when opportunities arise.

As market leader in Europe, we are accelerating our expansion worldwide and into neighboring markets. To drive this next phase of growth, we are looking for an experienced international B2B sales professional who can help expand our global go-to-market approach. This is not a people management role, but focuses on developing new markets and closing deals, rather than technical presales or solution architecture. To successfully build and manage relationships in neighboring regions, fluency in German and/or French is highly desirable.

An ideal candidate possesses several of the experience/background items below:

• Proven experience in setting up B2B sales strategies for new products or services in new territories
• 8+ years of B2B sales experience
• Technical background or experience in engineering-driven environments
• Strong understanding of the water sector and asset and/or pipeline management
• Experience in selecting and managing commercial partners across different countries and cultures

As a person, you:

• Are strong in sales and contract negotiations
• Are comfortable working internationally and travelling regularly
• Speak English fluently; French and German are a big plus
• Enjoy working in a young, open and flat organisation

Key tasks and responsibilities:

• You will contribute to shape and execute the global B2B sales strategy
• Build and maintain network of global partners and sales agents
• Lead commercial negotiations and evaluate contracts with partners and clients
• Collaborating with and supporting the existing sales engineers on international opportunities.

What we offer:

• A key commercial role in an innovative, impact-driven company
• Direct influence on international growth strategy
• Close collaboration with leadership in a flat organisation
• A technically advanced product portfolio with clear market need
• The opportunity to contribute to solving global water infrastructure challenges
• Location-flexible within Europe, with frequent international travel.

Interested in taking the lead in shaping our next growth phase?

If you believe you fit this role and our young and driven team and you are ready to contribute to the global water infrastructure challenges, please send your cv and a short motivation to before the 1st of April.
