Business Development Specialist

Business Development Specialist, Public Sector

Are you looking to take your next step from consulting, client work or sales support into business development and account management? Want to work with a team that values teamwork, agility and long-term client relationships? At Reaktor’s Public Sector unit, we help clients tackle some of their most complex and high-impact challenges. We’re looking for a driven Business Development Specialist to join us.

We are looking for someone who already has some hands-on experience from consulting, project/product management, sales or business development, and is now eager to grow toward sales, account management and long-term client relationships in the public sector. You may have worked, for example, in sales support, bid management, project management, service management, strategy or technology consulting, product ownership or a similar role where you’ve learned to work with clients, technology and design experts on complex topics.

You don’t need to be a fully established sales or account lead yet. What matters most is a solid foundation to build on, strong motivation to grow in public sector business development and the ability to learn from experienced colleagues while gradually taking on more independent responsibility.

Your role

In this role, you’ll work closely with Reaktor’s Public Sector team and contribute to sales and account work from day one. Your role is important in creating successful client accounts where our people enjoy working and growing professionally. We expect you to come in with relevant experience and curiosity, and you'll learn by working closely with experienced colleagues while taking ownership from the beginning

In practice, this means:

• Running day-to-day Public Sector business, accounts and sales together with the team.

• Engaging with clients, handling daily communications and fostering strong long-term relationships with both clients and the professionals in their teams.

• Participating in sales processes and preparing sales materials: public tender documents, proposals, presentations and reference decks. A keen eye for detail and comfort with structured documents will get you far.

• Participating in customer meetings and presenting sales pitches that help win cases.

• Collaborating with partners and subcontractors to strengthen sales, staffing and delivery efforts.

• Building your capabilities toward leading selected accounts, sales cases and client relationships over time.

What we’re looking for

• Previous experience in a customer-facing role, whether in sales, account management or as a consultant in a similar role (e.g. project manager, service manager, strategy consultant, technology consultant).

• Experience in the consulting or professional services field.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, willingness to work within a team environment and ability to build relationships with clients and within Reaktor.

• Strong project management skills and ability to organize your own work efficiently.

• Attention to detail and ability to create clear and structured sales materials.

• Result-oriented attitude (getting things done!) and curiosity for learning and growing in the sales field.

• Fluent in Finnish and English (written and spoken). Excellent writing skills in Finnish.

• Ability to adapt your communication style depending on the audience, whether you are working with clients, senior stakeholders, technical experts or internal teams at Reaktor.

• Experience in coordinating or leading teams, projects or workstreams is considered a plus.

This is a hybrid position, on-site presence at our HQ in Helsinki (3-4 days per week) is required.

Why join us?

You'll join a tight-knit core team working in Reaktor’s Public Sector Business Unit. We take full responsibility for our business, delivery and the people doing the work. We take our craft seriously and hold ourselves accountable, but we don't take ourselves too seriously.

While working at Reaktor, we offer

• Exciting, purpose-driven work in a relaxed atmosphere.

• Real opportunities to grow as a professional, helping you develop your skills further through guidance, teamwork and hands-on responsibilities.

• Autonomy and ownership over your work, giving you the power to make changes and decisions that are needed to create results in your team.

• A community with support and expertise to share.

• A team that’s not only experienced but considerate as well - we all want you to succeed.
