Business Developer, Cybersecurity - Secure Communications

Location: The Hague

Do you enjoy taking ownership and are you motivated by independently driving business development and strategic opportunities forward? Here, you will have a key position in expanding Sectra Communications in the Netherlands and surrounding European markets managed by the Dutch office. Together with the commercial team, local leadership, and headquarters in Sweden, you will play an important part in driving growth, building relationships, and supporting the business through high-impact commercial activities.

Sectra Communications operates at the intersection of cybersecurity, defence, and critical infrastructure. We develop secure communication solutions used by governments, defence organizations, and institutions where failure is simply not an option.

As Sectra Communications continues to grow across Europe, the office in the Netherlands plays an important role in strengthening the company’s presence closer to key markets outside Sweden. To support this growth, we are now expanding the team with a Business Developer role focusing on accelerating market penetration, building long-term customer relationships, and driving strategic opportunities across the public sector and related industries.

In close collaboration with the commercial teams in the Netherlands and HQ in Sweden, you will act as a key driver of growth while contributing with local market insight and regional execution.

The role
This role includes developing and driving business opportunities across the markets managed by the Dutch office, with a strong focus on secure communication solutions for governments, defence organizations, and critical infrastructure environments.
