Overview

About us

We are the independent expert in assurance and risk management. Driven by our purpose, to safeguard life, property, and the environment, we empower our customers and their stakeholders with facts and reliable insights so that critical decisions can be made with confidence.

As a trusted voice for many of the world’s most successful organizations, we use our knowledge to advance safety and performance, set industry benchmarks, and inspire and invent solutions to tackle global transformations.

About the role

Our company has ambitious plans to expand our cybersecurity business in the coming years. Building on our successes and strengths both in the Nordics and internationally, we aim to make a global impact in safeguarding life, property, and the environment.

To support this growth, we are seeking a Business Development Manager for our IoT & Product Service Unit. In this innovative and business-driven role, you will be responsible for developing services and supporting their sales. A strong technical understanding of cloud-based software, sales experience, and the ability to work independently are essential.

You will join an international investment project team, providing you with a solid knowledge base and the support needed to achieve your goals. Together with our experts, you will help build innovative solutions and conquer new markets. This is an excellent opportunity to be part of a compelling success story.

The first development project will focus on creating a scalable service centered on product security and compliance, which will later expand to other business units. Therefore, experience in building and scaling services is highly valuable. Additionally, familiarity with executing go-to-market strategies in a global organization will be a significant advantage.

Success in this role will also rely on your soft skills to navigate multiple stakeholders and your project management abilities to keep all efforts aligned. At times, you may also work as a consultant, so a hands-on approach is welcome. You will report directly to the Head of IoT & Product Security.

You will be based at the DNV´s office in Espoo Finland.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Lead and execute service development initiatives with a focus on innovation and impact
  • Take ownership of current and future service development projects, either as a lead or key contributor
  • Develop and implement a strategic service development roadmap
  • Collaborate with other service units to build a comprehensive and competitive service portfolio
  • Drive growth of the service unit through effective sales actions and cross-functional collaboration
  • Plan and execute go-to-market strategies in coordination with relevant stakeholders
  • Participate in the planning and execution of marketing activities
  • Train and support internal sales teams to effectively promote and sell our services
  • Work closely with service delivery teams to ensure alignment between sales and execution
  • Take on roles such as Project Manager, Service Owner, Advisor, or Consultant in other projects as need
