Business Development Executive

Why Valtech?

We’re advisors, visionaries, creatives and techies. We embrace all things digital. We collaborate with each other. We have fun. We love our clients. We’re looking ahead. We are global.

The Opportunity

At Valtech, we’ve got opportunities to offer you — for learning; for growing; for making world-changing impact; for being a real agent of change. Our global workforce exists to unlock a better way to experience the world, and that all starts with our workplace. We’re proud of:

• What we do
• Our values
• Our workplace
• The borderless framework we work in

Technology has remade the way we live, work, and connect. Every day new products, services, and features are raising our expectations in every aspect of our lives. It’s become common for whole new categories and consumer behaviors to emerge and disrupt legacy businesses. And as it becomes easier to digitize, launch, and evolve, the rush to leap ahead is quickly becoming a race to parity. Now that technology has once again leveled the playing field, we believe the next frontier and greater value lives in the experience. And that means the world needs a new kind of company to unlock that value.

The Role

Join Valtech as a Business Development Executive, where you'll play a pivotal role in driving our growth as a global digital agency leader. We’re looking for an ambitious sales professional with a hunter mindset, eager to open doors, build relationships, and close transformational deals.

To be a success in the role you will know the agency game because you have lived it for years. You will be able to articulate the value of digital transformation to a B2B or B2C client in 50 words or less and most importantly, as a digital native, you can translate the trends and lingo of the digital world into concise, actionable insights that C-level executives can understand, value, and buy.

Your job is to know the market, identify and pursue new business opportunities, and build relationships with potential clients. You know the value of customized, consultative selling over autopilot sales approaches with generic slide decks. You’re comfortable with positioning a full-service offering that spans strategy, creative, and technology.

Critically, you’ll know that digital is so much more than the website. You’ll be passionate about the impact your work has on human beings. Furthermore, you’ll lead and inspire a results-driven sales team, driving a lean, effective, end-to-end sales process in close collaboration with marketing.

You will be a part of the Valtech team and play a key role within the wider Americas team. As an integral part of the sales team, you’ll own the responsibility for driving net-new revenue to our business. You must be both a leader and a deal-closer, and that means you also understand the fine act of balancing risks when bidding for new business. You’ll leverage Valtech’s global network to enhance your business development efforts and maximize impact.

You’ve had a similar position for the last 10 years or more, most likely in another digital agency or a technology services provider. Your track record is proven when it comes to landing seven-figure deals, building pipelines, and delivering innovative digital solutions.

And the showstopper: you’re a hunter at heart, living and breathing the digital space. You’ve thrived in digital agencies or consultancies, designing and selling digital solutions, leading with a consultative approach, and evangelizing the value of digital transformation. If that’s you, we want you on our team.

Role Responsibilities

• Prospect, pitch, and win new business across B2B and B2C industries, translating Valtech’s offerings into compelling value propositions for C-suite executives.

• Drive the sales pipeline development in close partnership with the North American and Global marketing team.
• Manage the sales team and the entire sales process to ensure delivery against KPIs and targets with the strong emphasis on new business sales.

• Systematically collaborate with Valtech’s key technology platform partners in the region, e.g. Microsoft, Sitecore, SAP, Adobe, Commerce tools, and others.
