YOUR MISSION:

As our Business Development Executive in Southern Europe, you’ll play a pivotal role in launching Parloa’s presence in a new market.

This is not a “follow-the-playbook” role—you’ll help write it. You’ll work closely with our Head of Growth, the Regional Sales Director, and the enterprise sales team to turn market insights into a tangible pipeline, helping Parloa become the go-to conversational AI platform for leading enterprises across Southern Europe.

• Pioneer Parloa’s Southern Europe market entry by identifying, engaging, and developing relationships with enterprise-level prospects.
• Generate and own an outbound pipeline, leveraging creative, data-driven outreach strategies.
• Collaborate closely with our Account Executives to build scalable revenue processes for the region.
• Build and nurture long-term relationships with prospects, positioning Parloa as a trusted partner for AI-powered customer experience.
• Act as the voice of the Southern Europe market internally – sharing insights, feedback, and learnings that shape our regional strategy.
• Continuously refine messaging and outreach based on market dynamics, ensuring strong alignment between client challenges and Parloa’s solutions.
