Business Development Manager

At Anywhere365 we're looking for a German-speaking Business Development Manager in the DACH region.

Your goal is to find, acquire and retain new logos for our SaaS products. Our goal is to further grow in the DACH region, and this role will play a key part in achieving that goal. 

As we also sell a lot through partners, it will also be your mission to find new partners in the region who would be keen on selling our Anywhere365 Contact Center as a Service and CPaaS cloud solution to new customers. And also to maintain the relationships that have already been established within the DACH region. As our Business Development Manager for the region, you will utilize multiple acquisition strategies, including grass-roots demand and lead generation.
