Business Developer with German 🇩🇪
At Applifting 🚀, we’re not your typical software studio. With 170+ team members and no traditional managers, we’ve built a collaborative, teal-style culture where projects must pass an internal ethics check. From creating a system for faster international organ exchange ❤️ to securing banking apps used by millions across Europe, we build digital products that truly make a difference.
We’re looking for a Business Developer to join our 5-person Client Acquisition Team (CAT 🐱). and help us grow our CZ market and presence in the DACH region.
Our approach is different from standard sales:
- 🙅🏼♂️No solo KPIs - team goals only
- 🤝Collaboration first - every opportunity is handled in pairs (tech + business)

What you’ll do
- Identify and develop new business opportunities
- Build and maintain long-term client relationships
- Represent Applifting at events and networking opportunities💪🏼
- Lead proposals and negotiations, ensuring win–win outcomes
- Collaborate closely with tech leads and architects on tailored solutions
- Manage CRM and follow up on leads systematically
- Support existing clients as a key partner throughout the project lifecycle
What we’re looking for
- Native-level German (or very close to it), communicative English
- Based in the Czech Republic🇨🇿
- Open to frequent travel across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland
- Any previous experience with the DACH market — sales, partnerships, projects, networking… all relevant
