Everything starts with the customer – that is what drives the development of COWI.

It is with our customers that we develop solutions that will benefit society, therefore we are looking for a Senior Business Development Director to join us as part of COWIs global Buildings, Industry, and Architecture sector.

You will report directly to the Executive Business Development Director, Buildings, Industry and Architecture, Jasper Kyndi, and be an integral part of the Buildings, Industry and Architecture sector leadership team.

• facilitate the transfer of tendering best practices to all tender teams within the Buildings, Industry and Architecture sectors,
• actively participate in the highest prioritized tenders, bringing your expertise to the forefront of our strategic pursuits

Your skills. Our team. Together we design the future.

We expect you to be eager to collaborate with the people around you, whether they are colleagues, partners, or customers. Developing ties with others is something you do by acting respectfully and delivering on your promises. Additionally, you never get set in your ways but keep exploring new insights and ways to improve.

On top of that, you will have:

• relevant business development and leadership experience,
• extensive experience in developing and implementing business development strategies that ensure revenue and growth,
• experience developing major proposals and market initiatives within consulting or engineering,

A place to work and so much more.

At COWI, we work together with our customers to shape a sustainable and liveable world. We do it by applying our knowledge and curiosity – and sometimes even our courage – to create the solutions the world needs today to enable a better tomorrow. That is why we say no to fossil-based projects and aspire to have 100 per cent of our revenue come from activities that move our customers towards sustainability.

We value differences and development and cultivate an environment of belonging and having fun. Because that is what brings out the best in you, at work and at home.
