AI is reshaping how organizations compete, operate and create value. At Xebia, we help enterprises translate that opportunity into measurable business outcomes through AI, Data, Cloud, Software Engineering and AI Transformation.
To accelerate our growth in the Netherlands, we're looking for an experienced Business Development Director who brings and builds executive relationships, shapes strategic opportunities, and closes large-scale transformation programs leveraging our local and near & offshore hubs.
Reporting directly to the Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), you will play a pivotal and visible role in one of Xebia's strategic growth markets.
This is not a traditional sales role. You will engage CAIOs, CIOs, CTOs, CFO’s, CEOs and business leaders on some of their most critical transformation challenges, helping them leverage AI to drive growth, productivity, resilience and competitive advantage.

Collaborate with strategic partners including Microsoft, AWS, Google, Salesforce and Databricks to drive growth.

This is a unique opportunity to combine executive relationship management, AI-led transformation, and large-scale consulting sales in one of Xebia's strategic growth markets.
