Job Description

👋 Hey there! We’re Attensi – a tech company born in Norway with a passion for gamified simulation training. Since 2012, we’ve gone global, and today our solutions are used by some of the world’s biggest brands in 150+ countries and 50+ languages.

We combine gamification, realistic interactive scenarios, and decision-driven dialogues – all powered by our own game AI – to create immersive, hands-on learning experiences. It's a radically new way to deliver high-impact training that scales across large organizations and actually sticks.

We work with some of the world’s largest brands in energy, retail, hospitality, pharma, professional services, and more – including Circle K, The Boston Consulting Group, PwC, Accenture, KPMG, ABB, Zurich, and Novartis. We are currently over 220 Game Changers across Europe and the US

To support and expand on our international growth, we are currently seeking an energetic and motivated Business Development Director to focus on building our Consumer Goods sector. This is a key role in our growth and is reflected in both the remuneration and opportunities for growth outlined below.

We are looking for someone smart, analytical, commercial, and curious who is comfortable taking an insight-driven approach to generating leads, converting them to meetings and communicating Attensi’s unique value proposition to land and develop new client relationships.

Our sales processes are moved forward through close collaboration with the customer so that we create value propositions and solutions that address their specific needs and pain points. For a person who enjoys the art of business development through consultative selling and collaboration with large corporations this is a fantastic opportunity to join a rapidly growing company, backed by strong investors and with solutions that make a real, measurable impact.

We are particularly excited by people who are coming from, or have sold into, Consumer Goods companies, who can empathize with our prospects’ learning goals and who can credibly and comfortably craft bespoke and tailored solutions to meet their needs. Experience working with or selling into FMCG, food and beverage, beauty, personal care, household goods, apparel, electronics or other large consumer brands would be highly relevant. Since 2021, the company has been focused on growth both in the number of new customers it works with, and international expansion. You’ll play a big part in shaping how the company rapidly scales.

You will have:

• BSc degree or higher

• Experience in establishing relationships with CxOs and Directors of large organisations

• Previous experience with business development and salesideally to Enterprise clients

• Experience building strong and trusting relationships with prospects and clients alike to become a trusted partner at both a professional and personal level

• At least 5+ years' work experience

• Previous experience with business development and salesideally within Enterprise, but we believe that this can also be developed, provided the right motivation and skillset

• Client facing Consumer Goods sales background would be desirable

What will you do?

The very first thing you will do once you join Attensi is to get to know our products, values and way of operating. We want you to get under the skin of our business and truly understand the value we provide our customers, so that you can represent us externally with genuine excitement and confidence.

Your role will include:

• Identifying ideal customers, and actively pursuing conversations and meetings with key decision makers in those companies, leveraging our proven playbook the ‘Attensi way of Selling’

• Prospecting, generating leads and increasing awareness and knowledge about Attensi in the professional services space through attending industry events and exhibitions, hosting webinars etc.

• Mapping and specifying organisational challenges, training and development needs together with prospective customers

• Working closely with our Customer Success team who provide operational support for our customers as well as work with them to explore upsell opportunities

• Work closely with the broader Attensi commercial team and overall organisation to develop best practices and grow the organisation

What do we offer?

At Attensi you will become part of an exciting and rapidly growing scale-up that is already a global leader in its field. You get to work in a flat, open and free environment, surrounded by committed, smart and talented colleagues from a variety of backgrounds, both culturally and academically.

Attensi is committed to giving people the opportunity to grow and you will also be able to develop your role over time. You will also be offered exciting challenges in a dynamic and innovative environment with great ambitions.
