Director of Business Development - Southern Europe

Requirements

• 10+ years across business development, government affairs, commercial sales, or strategy, with material experience in both public-sector and fast-growing commercial settings.
• Professional fluency in Italian or Spanish plus English; strong preference for candidates who can work in both. The role covers two markets and the languages are part of the job.
• Strong existing industry and trade association relationships across one or more of Rainmaker's adjacent sectors: water, agriculture, insurance, energy, environment, or infrastructure.
• Track record of building something from zero: first deals, first regulatory clearances, first contracts in a new market or category.
• Comfortable operating at both strategic and operational altitude. You can write the market entry thesis on Monday and run the negotiation on Friday.
• Proven public communicator: panels, ministerial roundtables, and on-record national media.
• High tolerance for ambiguity and willingness to travel frequently across the region, to Brussels, and to the U.S.
