Business Manager (ENG) - Regional & International Markets

A good conversation at a networking event. A follow-up call the next morning. A signed contract a few weeks later. If that sequence sounds familiar (and rather satisfying), read on.

At CRANIUM, our consultants help organisations get privacy, AI governance and security right. We’re looking for the person who opens the doors for them. You pick up the phone without overthinking it and you switch between French and English without missing a beat.

Here’s what the job looks like in practice, seen through the five principles that guide how we work at CRANIUM. We call it SCORE.

What it takes to score at CRANIUM.

Structure.

Great salespeople make it look spontaneous. Behind the scenes, there’s a plan. At CRANIUM, you’re part of a well-oiled sales and marketing machine, with clear processes and close alignment between both teams. At the start of each year, you map out your prospects, the networking events you’ll attend and how you’ll stay visible on LinkedIn. You understand that a clean CRM and a reliable pipeline aren’t admin for the sake of it and you enjoy working within that clear structure.

Collaboration.

What you sell is expertise: the knowledge of our privacy consultants, AI specialists and security experts at CRANIUM and our sister company Cingulum. That’s why you work hand in hand with the consultants and project managers who work with your clients every day. They’re often the first to notice what a client needs next and you’re the one who turns it into a strong proposal. You also align your goals with the Head of Business Development, the CEO and Finance, and share your results with them openly. You know that the best deals are a team effort. You share information, keep your colleagues in the loop and celebrate wins together.

Ownership.

Here, you’re in the driving seat. Your pipeline, your accounts, your targets. You don’t wait for opportunities to come to you. You go out and create them, whether that’s over the phone, at a networking event or on-stage representing CRANIUM. You’re proactive and independent. You take deals from the very first call all the way to signature. When a prospect goes quiet, you keep at it without losing your enthusiasm. And once the deal is signed, you stay close. You enjoy growing existing clients just as much as winning new ones and you’re the first to notice when there’s room to do more together. When things don’t go as planned, you own it and look for a way forward.

Respect.

We help organisations treat people’s data with care. We bring that same care to the way we sell. You listen first, ask the right questions and only offer what will genuinely move a client forward. You respect their time with prompt follow-ups and proposals that get straight to the point. With your international outlook, you know every market, culture and client works a little differently, and you adapt accordingly.

Excellence.

We aim high, and so do you. You have an eye for detail and you don’t settle for “good enough”. You’re a strong, fast writer who can turn a client conversation into a clear, convincing proposal in no time. And you’re someone people can count on: you do what you say, when you say you’ll do it. That reliability is what makes clients, colleagues and management trust you.

Sounds like you?

You’ll fit right in if you bring:

• a proven track record in B2B, solutions or consultancy sales

• perfect French and English, with professional Dutch as a bonus

• a genuine appetite for sales, phone calls included

• drive and energy to reach your goals and then go beyond them

• a network of your own, which you love to grow

• an international mindset and an easy way with people from all walks of life

• an interest in privacy, AI or cybersecurity. No law degree needed, but lots of curiosity is encouraged.

What you can count on.

We invest in you just as seriously as we expect you to invest in your clients. Here’s what that looks like:

• a strong salary package with a KPI-based bonus, because good work deserves good pay

• a company car, or a mobility budget that suits your life better

• a yearly growth budget for courses and certifications at CRANIUM Campus, so you can speak confidently about the GDPR, the AI Act, NIS2 and more

• regular career conversations and recognition when you raise the bar

• flexible working hours

• meal vouchers, ecocheques, a CLA90 bonus and a Flex-Income Plan

• group insurance, plus excellent health cover through our partner Alan, with quick access to GPs, psychologists and other experts

• an office gym and padel matches with colleagues, where the competition is friendly (most of the time)
