We're FBK, the global leading Tender Management software company. We help Life Sciences & Healthcare companies to unleash the potential of every Bid and Tender — and for that, we're looking for a Business Development Representative to help more organizations transform how they manage and win public tenders.

What's in it for you

The team

You will join our Sales team and work closely with Marketing, Pre-Sales and other go-to-market teams to identify and develop new business opportunities.

You will play a key role at the top of the commercial funnel: mapping target accounts, identifying the right stakeholders, opening relevant conversations and turning early interest into qualified pipeline.

Expect structured onboarding, ongoing coaching and increasing exposure to customer conversations and the broader sales cycle as you grow, with the opportunity to develop toward an Account Executive role.

You will work in an environment where AI is part of how we operate every day, helping us gather account intelligence faster, personalize outreach, increase sales productivity and continuously refine how we connect with prospects.

• Create personalized messaging based on each account's context, priorities and tender management processes
• Qualify prospects by exploring their current workflows, challenges, priorities and potential fit with FBK
• Partner closely with Sales to develop target accounts, generate qualified pipeline and contribute to revenue goals
• Support early-stage discovery conversations and progressively take greater ownership of prospect interactions
• Follow up on leads generated through Marketing campaigns, events, partnerships, referrals and other inbound channels
• Use CRM, data, AI and automation to strengthen account intelligence, outreach quality, follow-up and sales efficiency
• Bring market feedback, recurring objections and prospect insights back to Sales, Marketing, Pre-Sales and Product teams

The skills you bring

• Fluency in English and Italian
• 0-2 years in business development, sales, consulting, customer-facing roles or a related field, including internships or other early-career experience
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
• Clear written and verbal communication, with the confidence to initiate conversations and interact with different types of stakeholders
• Genuine sales drive and motivation to create opportunities, connect with prospects and work toward measurable goals
• Curiosity about how companies operate, make decisions and buy software
• Analytical thinking and the ability to quickly make sense of complex organizations and stakeholder structures
• A proactive mindset and the resilience to stay consistent through rejection, follow-ups and changing priorities
• The ability to learn quickly and build a solid understanding of a complex product, market and customer environment
• A structured and disciplined approach to managing activities, priorities, follow-ups and CRM data
• Openness to feedback and a clear desire to keep developing
• Curiosity about AI, technology and how digital tools can reshape sales processes and customer workflows
• Hands-on exposure to outbound prospecting, account research, lead qualification or customer acquisition
• Familiarity with CRM platforms such as Dynamics or HubSpot as well as sales intelligence or outreach tools
• Exposure to SaaS, enterprise software, Life Sciences, Healthcare or other complex B2B environments
• International study or work experience
• Familiarity with account-based sales or account-based marketing approaches
• Practical use of AI for research, workflow automation, personalization or productivity
