Groundbreaking technology
iFLUX's patented solutions are at the forefront of groundwater technology.
As climate change and pollution increasingly threaten our limited freshwater resources, protecting groundwater has never been more urgent. With around half of our drinking water coming from groundwater, iFLUX helps enable its sustainable management through innovative, service-oriented solutions.
To support our growth, we are looking for a Business Development Manager who thrives on building new markets and generating opportunities from scratch. This is a hands-on, front-end commercial role for someone who combines technical understanding with a drive to open doors, qualify leads, and turn conversations into concrete business.
Do you value being down-to-earth, action-oriented, and making a real impact on water and society? Then you might be a strong fit for our team.
How does your role look at?
Your primary mission is to build a strong, qualified sales pipeline in new and emerging markets.
You proactively identify where iFLUX can create value, approach the right stakeholders, and translate technical challenges into commercial opportunities. You don’t wait for leads—you create them.
From first contact to signed deal, you take ownership of the process and remain a trusted partner to clients throughout.
Specifically, this means:
- Drive outbound prospecting and lead generation in targeted sectors and regions
- Identify, approach, and qualify new prospects through research, outreach, networking, and industry engagement
- Build and maintain a structured pipeline of high-quality opportunities
- Understand client challenges and translate them into tailored, solution-oriented proposals

Mindset
