Job Description

About T-Corp Amsterdam, Netherlands · Hybrid · Early-stage / Pre-funding T-Corp is building a software-enabled B2B advisory product: an independently prepared second opinion for business leaders when decisions matter. The founder leads product and technology. The person in this role will take primary responsibility for building the commercial side of the European business. We are looking for someone who can become a long-term commercial counterpart to the founder: developing customer relationships, creating early sales, shaping go-to-market and helping build a repeatable commercial function. This is deliberately early-stage. The core product is built; the commercial model and European business are still being developed. The role This role combines sales, business development and early go-to-market work with helping build the processes behind them. You will work directly with the founder to determine, through real market interaction, who the strongest initial customers are, what creates a genuine buying decision, which channels and relationships matter, and what should become repeatable. You will not inherit a finished sales playbook. Part of the role is to help create it. What you will do Develop relationships with prospective customers and senior decision-makers Build and manage the initial sales pipeline Develop and test the commercial proposition and sales approach Generate opportunities through direct outreach, relationships, referrals and partnerships Help establish qualification, CRM discipline, sales processes and practical operating routines Bring customer feedback and market insight into product and commercial decisions Help determine the commercial capabilities and hires required as the company grows Contribute to T-Corp’s European market-entry and expansion An existing network of relevant business relationships in the Netherlands or wider Europe is a strong advantage. We value the ability to open the right doors through relationships built over time. Beyond sales As the European business develops, the scope of the role is expected to expand with it. We value someone who can take responsibility for local priorities, coordinate with external parties, make sensible day-to-day decisions and represent the company well when the founder is travelling or focused on other T-Corp activities internationally. What we are looking for We are not looking for a narrow checklist or a particular previous title. You may come from B2B sales, business development, consulting, professional services, partnerships, commercial strategy, market entry or an entrepreneurial environment. The strongest fit is someone who can: Build trust with senior business people Understand the underlying business problem rather than simply present a product Develop an opportunity from an early conversation into a commercial relationship Sell while continuing to learn what the market actually wants Create useful structure and processes where they are not yet fully established Take responsibility without needing a predefined playbook Work closely with a technical founder and contribute sound commercial judgement Communicate exceptionally well in Dutch and English A strong understanding of the Dutch business environment is important. Experience with technology, AI, advisory or professional services is useful, but a conventional technology-sales background is not required. Working style This is a small founding environment. We value people who are thoughtful, transparent and dependable. Someone who can communicate well, listen carefully, make decisions and follow through will fit well. The founder remains closely involved in product and technology. The commercial and technical sides should work closely together and learn from one another. Useful additional experience Not required, but valuable: Experience building referral or partner channels; working with early-stage companies; entering new European markets; preparing for fundraising; or navigating the Dutch startup ecosystem. Experience with startup facilitators, company setup or related Dutch/EU processes would also be useful. The stage T-Corp is currently pre-funding and developing its European operating setup alongside the commercial work. There is no salary at this stage; any substantive work would begin only once a formal arrangement is in place. The intention is to identify the right long-term commercial partner early and develop the relationship as the company progresses through financing and market development. For the right person, an equity-based founding-partner arrangement can be discussed, reflecting long-term contribution, responsibilities and the development of the European business. Location Amsterdam / Netherlands The role is intended for someone already based in the Netherlands. European travel will become part of the role as the business develops. To apply Please send a CV and a short note answering: 1. What have you built, sold or developed commercially where the playbook was not already established? 2. How would you approach the early commercial phase of a company where you are expected to both sell and help build the sales process? 3. Why does T-Corp interest you? A thoughtful answer is more useful to us than a long cover letter. You are welcome to review the founder’s profile before reaching out. Mutual fit matters for this role.
