Business Developer (Pipeline Builder)

WHO ARE WE

Extremis is an award-winning design brand that doesn’t just create furniture — we make tools for togetherness. The products we distribute through our international network bring people together across the world. Because we believe that life is better when it’s shared.

Our tools are timeless and made to last a lifetime. High-quality materials and durable design ensure that Extremis pieces can be enjoyed outdoors, year after year — at home, in public spaces, hospitality venues, or offices. You’ll even find our products at places like the campuses of Google, Apple, and Disney.

Extremis is based among the hop fields in Poperinge, Belgium, sells worldwide, and has a US subsidiary in Michigan.

WHO ARE YOU

• You are a trendspotter with a strong hunting factor: you can hear a pin drop from afar and immediately know where to go to get Extremis products drawn in.
• You’re a persistent, result oriented go-getter: Once you’ve detected new opportunities, you push through to get the best results for Extremis as well as the customer.
• You’re a charismatic, people-oriented bridgebuilder. You get most energy when you’re connecting with great people, building long-term networks and setting up new collaborations. Enthusing dealers and architects with the added value of our products is a piece of cake.
• As an inspiring storyteller, you often have people hanging on your every word, and you know like no other how to convey the soul of our collection. You have excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills in Dutch and English. French or German would be nice.
• You have experience in either the design industry or a comparable high segment market. Either way, you can’t stop talking about your love for design almost until the brink of annoying your family. Products with a distinct identity give you an extra drive.

YOUR ROLE

As a Pipeline Builder, you will join the sales team and be responsible for developing a network of specifiers to include our solutions in project market specifications. You’ll work closely with the marketing team to achieve this. This role is ideal for an explorer, always on top of the latest trends and projects, easily getting a foot in everywhere.
