The role
We're looking for a Business Development Representative to help expand Waitwhile's presence in EMEA and bring our platform to even more businesses across Europe.

You'll own the front end of the sales process, from researching target accounts and engaging decision-makers through cold calls, email, and LinkedIn to booking qualified meetings. Your focus will be on the Nordics and new European markets, across industries including retail, luxury retail, travel, hospitality, and healthcare.

You'll work closely with a Stockholm-based Account Executive, as well as with Marketing and sales leadership, to build pipeline, refine messaging, and shape how outbound is done at Waitwhile in EMEA.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys prospecting, building new markets from scratch, and making a visible impact on the growth of a fast-growing SaaS company,
What you'll do

• Drive outbound prospecting: Reach decision-makers in retail, luxury retail, travel, hospitality, and healthcare through a balanced mix of cold calls, email, and LinkedIn.
• Book qualified meetings: Generate interest and set up meetings for your Account Executive, and help turn them into real sales opportunities.
• Research and personalize: Identify key accounts and buyers, and tailor your outreach where it matters while keeping strong activity levels.
• Help build the outbound playbook: Partner with sales leadership to refine targeting, messaging, talk tracks, and sequences for the EMEA market.
• Work smart with modern tools: Prospect and execute outreach in Amplemarket (with AI-powered research and personalization), Trellus, and ZoomInfo, and keep clean data in HubSpot.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Act on engagement from Marketing campaigns and share feedback with Sales, Marketing, and RevOps to improve messaging and targeting.
• Share market insights: Bring insights and objections from your conversations with prospects back to the wider team.
