Our European Demand Generation team drives growth by focusing on quality over quantity - practicing thoughtful, insight-led outreach instead of broad-scale, impersonal messaging. We're purposeful, integrated, agile, and entrepreneurial. We rely on data, creativity, and human connection to build strong foundations for long-term client relationships.
The role
We're seeking a Business Development Manager to be the first point of contact for new business opportunities across Europe. Reporting to our European Head of Demand Generation, you'll use a consultative, insight-led approach to uncover challenges our prospective clients face, aligning Valtech’s offerings across technology, strategy, and experience design to solve those challenges and drive long-term pipeline growth. If you thrive on building genuine connections, love problem-solving, and want to develop into a future new business leader, we'd love to hear from you.
What you will do:
Be the First to Connect

- Operate with a "quality over quantity" mindset, curating personalised, insight-driven messages and multi-touch follow-up plans that genuinely resonate with enterprise-level prospects.
- Triage leads using Salesforce dashboards and conduct due diligence before engagement, in line with our Demand Gen SLA and Salesforce best practices.
- Collaborate closely with marketing, partner alliances, and regional teams to ensure every approach is informed by current market intelligence and aligned tactics.
Work Across Multiple Initiatives
- Inbound Lead Follow-Up: Respond rapidly and meaningfully to inbound leads, leveraging insights to spark consultative conversations.
- Event & Project Support: Engage high-value leads around our top-priority events and campaigns, contributing to the planning and execution of pre and post-event outreach strategies.
- Priority Account Outreach: Develop tailored prospecting plans for strategic accounts, supported by detailed research and collaboration across marketing and demand teams, plan and align outbound messaging, themes, and next steps.
Champion Best Practices & Data Integrity
- Maintain accurate and thorough records in Salesforce, including activity logs, lead stages, campaign statuses, and meeting records, ensuring full attribution and visibility for all stakeholders.
- Conduct weekly reviews of lead progression and campaign membership in line with our data hygiene processes.
- Attend regular reporting sessions, sharing insights on lead status, pipeline development, and lessons learned with the wider team.
Learn & Grow
- Develop deep expertise in Valtech's complex offerings, from technology solutions to digital strategy, so you can confidently articulate how we help solve client challenges.
- Build the foundational skills and knowledge essential for a long-term career in new business - this role is the first step on our Business Development career path.
- Engage in collaborative forums with your peers across Europe, exchanging best practices and sharpening your approach through shared feedback and support.
- Gain hands-on exposure to Valtech's full GTM motion - from marketing campaigns to outbound account planning to opportunity creation - positioning you for advancement into a strategic sales or growth role.

- Tech-Savvy & Curious: You follow digital trends and see the potential of technology to reshape businesses and you enjoy learning more about it every day.
- Self-Starter: You manage your priorities and workload independently, using your judgment on when to collaborate and when to drive forward solo. You proactively uphold data hygiene and SLA commitments without being prompted.
- Future-Focused: You see yourself evolving into a true new business leader and want the mentorship and platform to grow in that direction.
