Business Development Manager

A fast-growing space scale-up building software-flexible satellites for commercial, government, and scientific missions is expanding into the French market, hiring a business developer to hit the ground running.

This is a hunter role: you're building new business yourself, not managing a team, while also pushing forward deals already underway. You'll work closely with the engineering and technical teams to turn customer needs into workable proposals.

Day-to-day

• Find and develop new commercial opportunities in France, alongside progressing live deals
• Shape proposals with engineering and technical teams around customer needs
• Build lasting relationships with customers and partners
• Keep up with what's moving in the space sector
• Represent the company at industry events
• Travel as customer engagements require

What's needed

• A genuine hunter mentality - building and closing, not managing
• Familiarity with procurement cycles, RFPs, and contract negotiation
• Experience selling for an international tech company
• Emmersed in the space ecosystem
• A track record of hitting sales targets
• Fluent French, strong business English, confident presenting
• A solid network across the aerospace industry
• Proactive, self-directed, comfortable moving fast

If that sounds like your kind of challenge, let's talk.
