One of our core goals for 2026 is the complete digitalization of the European phone-to-taxi market. We are moving beyond ride-hailing to provide our fleet partners with advanced SaaS and operational capabilities.

We are looking for a relentless, hands-on Business Development Manager to build and lead this new vertical from scratch. This is a true "startup within a corporation" opportunity.

• Drive Expansion: Lead the rollout of our Dispatching Tools and other solutions, establishing trust with key fleet partners and hacking our way into new sectors;

TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS ROLE:

• Strategic Vision: deliver a strategy that captures huge new sectors, find ways to hack the market;
• Analytical Approach: translate vague and complex industry problems into clear solutions. Persuade stakeholders and investors with data and cold logic;
• Stakeholder Alignment: use flexible communication styles to align Sales, Operations and Tech teams, as well as wide range of diverse partners across Europe;
• Sales acumen: put your strategy and product to the front lines — test and polish your pitch, help to guide the sales team to deliver your vision far and wide.
• Experience: 5–7 years in Business Development, Strategy, Product or Project management. Backgrounds in Top-Tier Consulting, B2B SaaS, or dual-sided Marketplaces are highly preferred;
