Business Developer - US

At Hästens, we strive for a world where people sleep well – one that’s more joyful, peaceful and loving. Every day since 1852, we continue to hone our world-class craft in our factory in Köping, Sweden. Sleep may be today’s ultimate modern luxury. But it’s more than that; it’s a biological necessity and the foundation of our entire wellbeing. We want people to sleep well so that they can create the future they dream of upon waking. That’s why our master craftsmen consider and handcraft every detail of our bespoke designs using only the finest natural materials. We are proud to be a world-class international brand, operating in 50 countries with over 250 partners in Europe, Asia, America and Africa – and still growing. Business Developer (The Ultimate Advisor) The Mandate We are looking for the ultimate advisor. This is not a traditional business development role focused solely on transactions. It is a relationship-driven position built on trust, credibility, and long-term value creation. Our ambition is to build relationships so strong that clients and partners naturally turn to you when making important decisions. Success comes from understanding their goals, anticipating their needs, and consistently providing thoughtful guidance. You won\'t simply represent our products and services—you will become a trusted partner whose judgment, expertise, and integrity create lasting impact. 1. The "No Task is Beneath You" Protocol Exceptional advisors understand every aspect of the business they represent. You’ll spend time learning how our products are made, how our teams operate, and how we create value for clients. Along the way, you\'ll support a wide range of activities—from maintaining Salesforce data and preparing presentations to coordinating meetings and helping teams execute at a high level. We value people who approach every task with professionalism, attention to detail, and a willingness to contribute wherever needed. The lessons learned in these early responsibilities become the foundation for managing significant client relationships later in your career. 2. The Responsiveness Standard Trust is built through consistency, reliability, and follow-through. Our clients and partners should feel that they can depend on us when important matters arise. We strive to communicate promptly, respond thoughtfully, and deliver on our commitments with professionalism and care. While we value sustainable performance and healthy boundaries, we also recognize that exceptional service often comes from being available when it matters most. 3. The Art of the Follow-Up Meaningful relationships rarely happen after a single conversation. You will proactively nurture connections, follow up thoughtfully, and remain engaged throughout long decision-making processes. We value resilience, patience, and the ability to create value over time rather than focusing solely on immediate outcomes. The best business developers understand that timing, trust, and consistency often matter more than a perfect pitch. 4. Performance Under Pressure You will have opportunities to work alongside experienced leaders, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers. Success in these environments comes from listening carefully, asking insightful questions, and capturing important details. We value curiosity, humility, and a genuine desire to learn from every interaction. The ability to stay composed, attentive, and engaged in high-level conversations is a key part of becoming a trusted advisor. Core Competencies Extreme Humility You are comfortable learning from others and stepping into new environments with an open mind. You understand that expertise is earned through observation, practice, and continuous improvement. The "Admissions Mistake" Grit We value people who are ambitious, resilient, and motivated to continually improve. Whether you\'ve been an underdog, taken an unconventional path, or simply have a strong desire to grow, you bring determination and ownership to your work. Integrity Above Revenue Trust is our most valuable asset. We believe in giving honest advice, even when it\'s difficult, and always acting in our clients\' best interests. Long-term relationships matter more than short-term wins. Attention to Detail Details matter. Clear communication, thoughtful preparation, and consistent execution help build confidence and trust with clients and colleagues alike. What You Gain This role offers a unique opportunity to accelerate your professional growth. You will develop a deep understanding of business, relationship-building, communication, and client advisory. You\'ll gain exposure to high-level conversations, learn from experienced professionals, and build a network that can support your career for years to come. As you grow and demonstrate success, there will be opportunities to take on greater responsibility and advance within the organization. #J-18808-Ljbffr Hästens
