Your next chapter starts here! ðªAt Malt we believe that Ambition is the Way, so all lists of missions and responsibilities are non-exhaustive.The Mission ðªThe Situation: Malt is cementing its position as the undeniable leader in the European freelance economy. While our tech-powered platform connects over 1,000,000 top-tier freelancers with 100,000+ companies, the Dutch Enterprise sector presents a massive, untapped frontier. This market is dominated by complex, multinational corporate structures with deeply entrenched procurement protocols that are ripe for disruption.The Task: We are not hiring you to manage an existing portfolio or ride the coattails of marketing leads. You are being brought in to architect and own the zero-to-one enterprise acquisition strategy for the Netherlands. Operating as the "founder" of your own internal business unit, your mandate is to systematically penetrate massive global accounts, navigate labyrinthine procurement structures, and secure scalable, multi-country MSAs that will cement Malt's dominance in the region.Key Responsibilities Pillar 1: Strategic Territory Architecture & HuntingAction: Map out complex, multinational Dutch enterprise accounts, actively designing and executing surgical prospecting strategies to breach heavily fortified multi-stakeholder environments (Procurement, HR, and independent Business Units).Output: A localized, highly qualified pipeline of net-new Enterprise logos and concrete stakeholder maps.Metrics of Performance: Enterprise GSV Pipeline Generated and CRM forecast accuracy.Pillar 2: Deal Orchestration & RFP CommandAction: Run rigorous, in-depth discovery using the full MEDDIC framework to validate severe business pain, identify the true Economic Buyer, and lead end-to-end RFI/RFP processes alongside our Bid Management team.Output: Compelling, ROI-driven proposals and precisely engineered enterprise pilot programs designed to prove undeniable platform value.Metrics of Performance: RFI/RFP win rate and Pilot-to-MSA Conversion Rate.Pillar 3: Heavy-Weight Negotiation & Revenue ActivationAction: Drive complex negotiations for global Master Service Agreements involving tight friction with Legal, Finance, and Procurement across multiple countries.
