As a Business Development Representative at Vesper, you play a key role in expanding our global customer base. You decide how to do that. We provide clear guidelines, support, and ambitious targets, but we trust you to own your approach. Success here is measured by impact, not by the number of calls you make.
In January 2024, we began building our Business Development function from the ground up. By 2025, the team was fully up and running and significantly exceeded its annual targets. That momentum is no coincidence; it’s the result of autonomy, strong execution, and a team that knows how to create value for customers.
While our core commercial sales motion remains essential to Vesper’s success, the next phase of our growth will be driven by Enterprise Sales. This is your opportunity to join a fast-growing company and contribute to a sales organisation that is becoming truly world-class.
