About this role
Zovea Pet Care is building a new pet care business and needs an experienced Senior Business Developer to help establish and expand their commercial presence across existing and emerging markets. You'll own the full commercial cycle—from spotting opportunities and building strategic partnerships to negotiating deals and managing long-term relationships. This role demands someone with 5+ years of international B2B experience in FMCG or similar sectors, strong market instincts, and genuine entrepreneurial drive. You'll travel 30–40% of the time across the Benelux, Scandinavia, and UK to visit customers, partners, and trade shows.
The role offers real autonomy and visibility. You'll report directly to leadership in a fast-growing organization where your decisions and initiatives shape commercial strategy, not just execute it. You'll also help build the commercial team by coaching colleagues and developing processes that scale. The position is based in Amsterdam's Houthavens office with one work-from-home day per week, and comes with an on-target earnings range of €70,000–€90,000.
This suits someone who thrives on relationship-building across cultures, enjoys ownership, and wants to influence business direction from the start. Fluency in Dutch and English is essential, as is comfort with frequent international travel and face-to-face partnership development.
