About the role:  

We're looking for a Business Development Representative to join our Commercial Team in Amsterdam. This role is key to Newzoo’s go-to-market strategy and a launchpad for a commercial career with us.

Your focus will be on finding new business opportunities within accounts we already work with. You’ll map stakeholders, identify teams and use cases we haven’t yet reached, and build relationships through proactive, consistent outreach.

You’ll work closely with Account Management and Client Success, generating qualified opportunities for Account Managers and, for a subset of customers, managing the sales cycle from first contact through to a signed agreement.

We're looking for someone entrepreneurial, proactive, and genuinely interested in the games industry, who enjoys opening doors and turning conversations into opportunities.

Your responsibilities: 

• Map stakeholders within existing client organizations, identify teams and use cases Newzoo hasn’t yet reached, and proactively open new commercial conversations.

• Identify and proactively reach out to high-quality prospects that fit our ideal customer profile, understanding their goals and needs to qualify opportunities.

• Lead the end-to-end sales cycle for a subset of Newzoo’s target customers, working closely with Account Management and Client Success.

• Maintain consistent, thorough, and high-quality outreach activity.

• Share insights from prospect conversations with other departments and help improve how we work.

• Become an expert on Newzoo’s product offerings and platform, as well as our industry and clients.

• Maintain a strong understanding of the games market, particularly PC and console

Your profile:

• 2–4 years of experience in B2B business development or sales, with a track record of meeting outbound targets.

• Experience researching accounts, identifying relevant decision-makers, and building pipeline through proactive outreach.

• A good understanding of the games industry.

• Excellent written and spoken English.

• Comfortable starting conversations with new contacts, asking thoughtful questions, and connecting their business needs to relevant products or services.

• Experience closing B2B deals, including leading discovery conversations, developing proposals, and managing negotiations through to a signed agreement.

• The right to work in the Netherlands without visa sponsorship

• You follow the games market closely enough to have an opinion on where it’s heading.

Strong advantages

• Understanding of the video games industry and how its stakeholders operate

• Fluent Mandarin.

Please note: We cannot provide visa sponsorship or take over an existing sponsorship from another employer for this role.
