Business Development Manager

Business Manager

At darwind, we don't fit consultants into projects, we look for the project that fits you. You'll join a community of darwinders who value autonomy, ownership, and genuine professional growth, and who believe the best work experience should always be the next one.

What you will do

As Business Manager, you carry both the commercial and human side of what darwind stands for. You operate at management level, which means your impact extends well beyond individual deals:

• Define and execute a commercial strategy that expands darwind's client portfolio across sectors like energy, finance, and industry, with a focus on long-term partnership over transactional wins
• Identify emerging market opportunities and translate them into concrete business initiatives, directly influencing how darwind evolves its service offering
• Build and own senior-level relationships with decision-makers at client organisations, positioning darwind as a strategic partner in solving complex challenges
• Oversee the full account lifecycle, from first contact through delivery, ensuring satisfaction on both the client and consultant side remains consistently high
• Lead the matchmaking process with depth and care, going beyond skills on paper to understand what will genuinely make a consultant and a project succeed together

Who you are

We look beyond the CV. For us, motivation and curiosity matter just as much as the technical box-ticking, but to thrive in this role, you'll likely recognise yourself in most of the following:

• A master's degree in business, management, economics, or a related field
• At least 3 years of experience in business development, account management, or consulting, with a proven track record of building and scaling client relationships
• Deep familiarity with IT and digital transformation profiles, and a strong instinct for matching the right expertise to the right challenge
• Entrepreneurial by nature, you own your targets, take initiative without waiting for a brief, and thrive in an environment where your decisions have real consequences
• A natural leader who brings people with them, whether that means clients, consultants, or colleagues
• Fluent in English and Dutch, French is a strong plus given the bilingual nature of our market

What we offer

Competitive benefits package

• Hospitalization insurance
• Group insurance
• Meal allowance
• Your choice between a company car with EU fuel card or the federal mobility budget

Flexibility and work-life balance

• Hybrid work possibilities
• Flexible working hours
• Projects that match your skills and ambitions, not the other way around

Learning and growth

• Continuous coaching
• Technical and soft-skills training
• Room to grow across different domains and technologies

Culture

• A human, transparent and collaborative environment
• Real ownership and influence on the projects you contribute to
• A team that lives its values, initiative, authenticity and open communication, every day
