Function description
Do you want to bring InMotion to the next level? Don’t hesitate and become our new Business Development Manager of team 2027-2028!
As business developer, you’ll be looking for new ways to increase the value and potential of InMotion in all its different aspects. You will be in charge of the following:
- As a Business Developer at InMotion, you are constantly on the lookout for new partnerships that strengthen the team in the long run. You have a lot of freedom to think creatively and explore bold ideas: from collaborating with innovative companies to setting up strategic partnerships that help InMotion grow sustainably. You don’t just look for sponsors, you look for partners. You think about mutual value, long-term impact, and how a collaboration can benefit both InMotion and the company you’re talking to. You are the one who builds and maintains these valuable relationships.
- You work closely with the technical team to understand their challenges, ambitions, and needs. Engineers often come to you with ideas or urgent requests, and you help turn those into reality by finding the right companies, products, or expertise. Sometimes this means supporting long-term innovations, and other times it means acting fast when a specific product or solution is needed on very short notice. You are the bridge between cutting-edge technology and the outside world.
- As a Business Developer, you spend a lot of time out in the field. You attend career fairs, company presentations, networking drinks, and industry events, where your main goal is to meet people and start conversations. These events are where you discover new companies, learn what they do, and get a feel for who might be interesting for InMotion, now or in the future. Rather than negotiating or defining technical needs on the spot, you focus on building genuine connections. You make sure contacts remember InMotion, follow up after events, and gradually grow a strong and reliable network. By consistently showing up and staying in touch, you create a solid foundation of relationships that the team can build on later.
In short, business development manager at InMotion is a function in which you will have a lot of freedom and potential to grow your network.
What do you get back?
- A unique year where you work with a group of ambitious students towards one goal
- A diverse team with whom you often do fun things
- The chance to build a network within the automotive world
- The perfect opportunity to complement your CV with this work experience
- Different trainings offered by our partners
