Director Business Development (TV)

How you lead

• Act like the owner: you set the plan, make the call and answer for the result.
• Start from the viewer: you know the operator's app and explain our value in viewer outcomes.
• Decide with evidence: data, clear hypotheses and paid PoCs, learning fast from every win and loss.
• Shape the product: you turn what you hear in the market into clear problem statements for our product teams.
• Raise the bar: honest feedback, strong preparation, and every customer conversation better than the last.

Requirements

• At least 10 years in business development or enterprise sales for B2B software, of which at least 5 selling to telcos, Pay TV operators or broadcasters, with a record of new logos signed.
• A network in operator product, technology and executive teams, ideally in Europe.
• Experience running complex sales cycles end to end: qualification, RFPs, PoCs, negotiation, contract.
• Value-based selling: you show return on investment, handle objections, and move deals that stall in slow decision processes.
• A consultative style: enough product and technical depth to advise an operator on TV platforms, Android TV and AI-driven discovery without a solution architect in the room, and the judgement to know when to bring one.
• Discipline with pipeline and CRM. Your forecast is one others can plan on.
• The drive to win new logos and build business development in a company of our size, hands-on first, building a team later.
• Fluent English. German is a plus.
• Location: Stuttgart, Germany, or elsewhere in Europe, with regular presence in Stuttgart and travel to operators and industry events.

Strong plus

• Background in product management, a product-led software company, or UX and OTT consulting. You can run a discovery workshop with an operator's product team and read a prototype or user flow.
• Experience selling TV middleware, UI platforms, recommendation or search products to operators.
• Experience with Android TV Operator Tier deployments.
• Experience working with platform partners or system integrators in the TV space.

Benefits

• A competitive base salary plus a performance bonus tied to new customer revenue, qualified pipeline and the long-term value of the accounts you win.
• Real ownership: authority to decide on target accounts, bid or no bid, offers, PoC scope and discounts within the pricing frame.
• A real say on the roadmap of our AI products, and the freedom to build TV business development your way.
• Direct access to management and a seat in the core team with our CTO, Solutions and product leads.
• Flexibility: based in Stuttgart or elsewhere in Europe, remote-friendly.
• References that open doors, such as Vodafone and Proximus, and visibility at IBC, NAB and other industry events.
