Business Development Representative - Spain

As our Business Development Representative for Spain, you’ll be right at the heart of our growth, opening doors, starting conversations and creating new business opportunities across Spain and the wider EMEA region. 🚀 You’ll connect with HR, Finance and C-suite leaders, uncover what’s really happening within their businesses and show them how our global employment solutions can help them move faster, grow internationally and solve complex workforce challenges.

This is much more than booking meetings. You’ll be building pipeline, creating demand and turning conversations into real commercial opportunities, working closely with our Account Executives, Marketing and Partnerships teams to drive momentum and fuel our continued growth.

This is a remote opportunity for someone based in Madrid or Barcelona, with occasional travel required to connect and collaborate in person with the sales team in Barcelona. How you’ll make an impact: Open doors and create opportunities through proactive prospecting, using calls, email and social to connect with new prospects and turn interest into pipeline.

Spark conversations with Spanish-speaking decision-makers across HR, Finance and Operations, getting curious about their challenges and demonstrating the value Safeguard Global can bring. Team up with Account Executives to target the right companies, break into key accounts and turn strong prospects into high-quality opportunities. You do your homework.

Whether it’s a new account, a senior decision-maker or an upcoming call, you’re naturally curious and take the time to research, prepare and find the angle that will make someone want to engage. Make the most of every route to market, from campaigns and events to inbound leads and partner activity, building momentum at the top of the funnel.

Own your numbers and your pipeline, keeping Salesforce up to date and always knowing where your next opportunity is coming from. Aim high and deliver, taking ownership of your monthly KPIs across meetings, opportunities and revenue contribution. Challenge yourself to keep improving, embracing coaching, testing new approaches and constantly finding better ways to connect and convert.

What You’ll Bring

A passion for winning new business, with experience in business development or sales. B2B SaaS, HR Tech or global workforce experience is a bonus, but we’re just as interested in your ability to create opportunities and make things happen. Fluent Spanish and strong English, with the confidence to connect, influence and build relationships with people across different markets and seniority levels.

A natural ability to connect with people, build rapport quickly and turn a cold conversation into one worth continuing. Drive, curiosity and resilience. You’re motivated by targets, comfortable hearing “no” and hungry to turn the next conversation into a “yes”. An entrepreneurial mindset, bringing energy, ideas and the confidence to try new approaches rather than waiting to be told what to do.

Strong organisation and pace, with the ability to juggle multiple prospects, conversations and priorities without losing momentum. Confidence with sales technology, ideally using CRM platforms such as Salesforce and sales engagement tools to work smarter and stay on top of your pipeline. Based in Barcelona or Madrid, with the flexibility to thrive in a hybrid or remote working environment.
