ADASTRA Slovakia - Business Development Manager

AI First. Data, Analytics and Cloud, Always.

Your success in AI starts with the right business strategy, trusted data, strong governance - and the right partner. Together, we turn opportunity into results. 

We are a global consultancy specializing in data, analytics, cloud, and AI – for over 20 years we've helped our clients turn data into real competitive advantage, from modern data platforms to enterprise-scale AI solutions.

We are looking for a Business Development Manager to take ownership of that impact in Slovakia - driving growth across enterprise clients in the Utilities, Public Sector, and Industrial segments (manufacturing, automotive, defence). As part of a global organization with teams across Germany, the Czech Republic, Canada, and beyond, you won't be selling alone. Every opportunity is backed by experienced delivery experts, sharp pre-sales support, modern AI tools, and a management team genuinely invested in your success.

We are looking for people who share our passion for data and believe that working with both technology and people is more than just a job - it's a mission.

Location: Slovakia (Slovak language is necessity condition for this postition)

Status: Status: Employee Contract Salary expectations depend on your experience, seniority level and proven track record, and we are open to discussing them with you. We tailor our offer to reflect your skills and the value you bring to the team. As this is a sales role, your overall compensation also reflects your performance and sales activity, with high performers having the opportunity to achieve a total annual compensation package of up to €100,000.

What You'll Do

  • Identify, pursue, and close new business opportunities with target accounts in the Public, Utility, and Industrial sectors in Slovakia
  • Build and nurture long-term relationships with C-level, IT, and business stakeholders
  • Collaborate closely with delivery and pre-sales teams to shape tailored proposals
  • Contribute market and industry knowledge to help refine our go-to-market approach
  • Who are we looking for?

    We’re looking for a commercially minded professional who understands the Slovak market, enjoys building meaningful relationships and is excited about the opportunities that Data and AI are creating across industries.

    You could be an experienced sales professional who knows how to open doors and close opportunities — or a Project or Delivery Manager who understands clients' business challenges and is ready to take the next step into a commercial role.

    • What will help you succeed?
      • A proven track record in one or more of our key industries: Utilities, Public Sector, Manufacturing, Automotive or Defence — gained in a sales, project management or client-facing delivery role.
      • A genuine curiosity about Data and AI. This role is for someone who wants to be part of real business transformation, not simply have conversations about the latest technology trends.
      • Strong knowledge of the Slovak enterprise market, with the confidence and network-building skills needed to open doors and engage senior decision-makers.
      • A solid understanding of the IT services and consulting landscape, combined with awareness of current Data & AI trends and their business potential.
      • A proactive, commercially driven mindset and the ability to identify opportunities, build trust and turn conversations into long-term partnerships.
      • Professional fluency in Slovak and English.

    • This could be the right opportunity for you if...

      You have strong hunting and closing experience in one of these industries and enjoy winning new business.

      Or perhaps you are currently a Project or Delivery Manager, regularly working with clients and understanding their challenges, and you are ready to move closer to the commercial side of the business and build a career in sales.

    • Nice to have
      • Experience in IT consulting.
      • Experience working for or collaborating with system integrators or IT service providers.
      • Familiarity with public procurement and tender processes in Slovakia.
    • Grow Without Limits

We believe that great people should never stop learning. That’s why we give you the space, resources and opportunities to develop your skills and shape your career.

  • Access to the latest technologies, industry knowledge and expertise.
  • Personalized professional development plans tailored to your ambitions.
  • The opportunity to collaborate with a young, dynamic and highly professional team.
  • Potential to work on international projects and collaborate with colleagues across the globe.
  • Extensive opportunities for both professional and personal growth.
