Business Development Representative - Copenhagen

Business Development Representative - Copenhagen Business Development Representative - Copenhagen at Ardoq Sweden is one of Europe's most digitally advanced economies, and its enterprises are hungry for clarity on how fast they're changing. The Ardoq story Ardoq is one of Norway's most exciting scale-ups - a truly global company built out of Oslo. We are a SaaS platform that helps organizations understand, manage, and evolve their complex digital landscape. By providing a dynamic, collaborative "digital twin" of their business, we connect systems, people, and processes to drive better decision-making and accelerate digital transformation. Today, we help some of the world's most complex organizations (like ExxonMobil and British Telecom) gain clarity in a changing world. We are backed by leading global tech investors, including EQT and One Peak, giving us the stability of a mature company with the speed and soul of a startup. About the role Swedish enterprises are scaling fast, adopting new systems and AI capabilities at a pace that outstrips most organizations' ability to keep a clear picture of their own technology landscape. That's the gap Ardoq exists to close, and as our Swedish-speaking BDR, you're the person who opens that conversation. This role is built specifically to grow Ardoq's presence in the Swedish market. You'll research and prioritize the right Swedish enterprises, reach out in their own language, and run qualification conversations that get straight to what's actually slowing them down. Fluency in Swedish isn't a nice-to-have here, it's what makes the conversation land. You'll be based in our Copenhagen office as part of a combined UK and EU Business Development team, working closely with Account Executives and Marketing to build qualified pipeline across the Nordic region. At Ardoq, we value autonomy and psychological safety. In this role, you won't just follow a script; you'll have the influence to shape how we approach the Swedish market and the ownership to see your conversations through to qualified pipeline. What you'll do Identify and prioritize Swedish enterprise accounts using LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Salesforce, researching where digital complexity is highest and where Ardoq can create real value. Run outbound prospecting in Swedish and English across calls, email, and LinkedIn, adapting messaging to Swedish business culture and buying behavior. Lead qualification calls with Swedish prospects to uncover where technology complexity is creating risk or slowing progress, and determine whether Ardoq is the right fit. Partner with your Account Executive to prepare for and participate in discovery calls, ensuring every handover sets the customer up for a strong first meeting. Work closely with Marketing to ensure Swedish-market campaigns and your outreach amplify each other. Keep your Salesforce pipeline accurate and current - data quality is part of how we win. Stay current on Ardoq's platform and the enterprise architecture market, so every conversation is grounded in genuine insight. Represent Ardoq at Nordic events and industry gatherings, contributing to brand presence and lead generation in the Swedish market. On a typical day, you will Review your priority Swedish accounts and plan your outreach in both Swedish and English, balancing inbound follow-up with new outbound pushes. Run qualification conversations with prospects at different stages, some who've never heard of Ardoq, some already curious about what a "digital twin" of their business could do for them. Debrief with your Account Executive on a pending handover, sharpen a sequence using AI to improve response rates, then close the day with your Salesforce pipeline fully updated and a clear read on where the Swedish market is opening up. Who you are We're looking for someone who combines genuine commercial curiosity with real persistence, someone who wants to build Ardoq's presence in a market from the ground up. The linguist: You're fluent in Swedish, spoken and written, and comfortable operating in English day-to-day. You can build genuine rapport with Swedish prospects in their own language. The prospector: You're confident across calls, email, and LinkedIn. You use Salesforce and LinkedIn Sales Navigator deliberately, not just to find contacts, but to prioritize the right accounts. The qualifier: You listen before you pitch. You ask the questions that uncover whether a prospect has a real problem Ardoq can solve, and you're honest when the fit isn't there yet. The collaborator: You work closely with Account Executives and Marketing, keeping your handovers well-informed and your pipeline data clean. The learner: You're early in your BDR or sales-adjacent career. You treat coaching as fuel, applying it quickly and building on it consistently. The "Ardoq Way" We live by three values - Bold, Caring, and Driven - that define how we work, how we treat each other, and how we win. BOLD: We continuously raise the bar for ourselves and each other, starting from a place of "what if I could?" We act decisively, even when the information isn't complete, and choose forward motion and learning over waiting for the perfect answer. CARING: We care enough to be candid. That means delivering direct, kind, and timely feedback that helps our teammates grow. We operate as one team, sharing knowledge openly, celebrating each other's wins, and putting collective success ahead of individual ones. DRIVEN: At Ardoq, everyone has a stake in the outcome, including stock options. We act like owners: measuring success by impact rather than effort, saying "no" to distractions, and staying focused on the highest-value work at pace. Why Ardoq?
