The role
VAEKST is looking for a Norwegian speaking part-time Business Development Consultant to help drive B2B sales opportunities for our customers through our Sales-as-a-Service concept. You will assist our customers with intelligent market segmentation, outbound sales and market analytics by blending technology, such as AI-tools, with phone, email and LinkedIn outreach. You will become an integrated part of our growth journey, helping define our strategic direction while working with our customers in fields like consulting and technology. You will develop skills in complex B2B sales and work closely with the management team to build the organisation.

Our company
VAEKST is one of the fastest growing agencies in the Nordics, leading the way with growth solutions through sales, business development and top-notch technology. We empower B2B brands to accelerate their sales growth in the Nordics by combining software and outsourcing activities. We deliver positive brand awareness, the best leads as well as valuable customer and market insights that convert into long-lasting customer relationships.

Founded during the pandemic in 2020, VAEKST is headquartered in the heart of Copenhagen and with an office in Malmö. Our solutions support the growth cycle and objectives of our customers, making it profitable to scale customer acquisition.

Social Powerhouse
Embark on a journey with a dynamic team of 60 young, ambitious and great minds where we blend dedication with social spirit and where work is both rewarding and fun. Picture a workplace where social connections are valued as much as professional achievements. Our culture encourages every team member to contribute ideas, share experiences and we have a focus on high performance and contribution to culture.

Responsibilities

• Outbound sales activities through email, phone and LinkedIn
• Create business opportunities for our customers in the Nordics
• Manage your own sales pipelines

Track the conversion rate and continuously refine outreach strategies to improve brand awareness, lead generation, and customer insights.
• Data: Accurately log all customer interactions and relevant information in Hubspot after each engagement. Develop and maintain a system for tracking and analyzing customer insights, providing monthly reports that offer actionable recommendations for customer improvement.

Actively participate in social culture and company events, contributing your whole self to enhance the VAEKST culture.

Do you want to join our rocket ship?
If you have previously worked at a large corporate company, you might find that we are somewhat different. Being a scale-up means that things can move fast, and that sometimes comes at the cost of absolute control. In return, we get to have a lot of fun, learn a lot, and develop into positions and responsibilities we couldn’t achieve at bigger companies. If you’ve made it this far, we hope that you can see yourself at VAEKST, and hope that you will reach out with an application.

Recruitment Process

• Submit Application: Send us your application and relevant documents.
• Short Screening Call: We'll reach out on a brief call to learn more about you.
• 1st Interview (45 minutes): Meet with our Head of People & Culture to get to know each other and learn about VAEKST as a company.
• Prepare Case: Spend some time on a case relevant for the position.
• 2nd Interview (60 minutes): Walkthrough of the case with the Hiring Manager.
