We’re looking for a strategic and hands-on Business Development Executive to drive growth and client relationships. Your primary responsibility is developing new business and selling our services to clients who value quality, inclusion, and long-term partnerships.

This is not a transactional sales role—it’s about building trust, shaping partnerships, understanding client needs, and ensuring lasting client satisfaction.

You’ll be a key member of the management team, working closely with our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Director of Strategic Partnerships, while contributing to the global business development network. You will report to the US Chief Executive Officer, and represent auticon externally with the opportunity to grow into a broader leadership role over time.

• Deep understanding of the US market and business culture
• Strong sales and negotiation skills, with a consultative, non-transactional approach
• A strong C-level network in the US is a clear advantage
• Confident in speaking with technical stakeholders and understanding their context (you don’t need to code, but you should know how to ask the right questions)
• Entrepreneurial mindset—you enjoy building things, not just managing them
• Strong curiosity and interest in neurodiversity and inclusive work environments (experience working with neurodivergent teams is not required)
• Must be able to travel for work

Salary full-time position $250k OTE (on Target Earnings), roughly 50/50 base/bonus

• A committed, professional, and values-driven team
• A brand with a meaningful mission and high technical standards
• High level of autonomy and flexibility (hybrid work)

• Benefits, aligned with market standards
