Business Development Manager Energy North America
Build partnerships. Drive energy forward.
Q8Oils is on the move. We’re transforming—beyond high-tech lubricants into smart, sustainable, and digital solutions. To power that transformation, we’re looking for someone ready to grow with us.
Are you looking for an international role that sharpens your commercial instinct?
Do you love building strong partnerships and customer relationships?
Do you bring experience in sales, account management, or technical support?
Are you familiar with—or excited by—the energy sector?
Ready to travel across the US, Canada, and Mexico?
All boxes ticked? Then let’s dive in!
Your role: make an impact across the Americas
As Business Development Manager, Energy, you’re the connector. You build relationships with customers and distributors across North America and turn opportunities into growth.
You spot trends, scout new prospects, and translate customer needs into smart, scalable solutions. You lead commercial campaigns, set up technical trainings, and introduce new products to the market. You know how to get buy-in—both externally and internally—and you never lose sight of the bigger picture.
You collaborate closely with colleagues across departments. Together, you align business development, sales strategy, innovation, and product positioning. You stay ahead of the competition and help shape the future of our energy offer.
What you’ll do
Grow our Energy business across the Americas (stationary gas engines, turbines, and more)
Lead customer and distributor relationships—from prospecting to long-term partnerships
Launch new offerings and organise events, trainings, and seminars
Monitor market trends and translate them into strategic advice
Work with internal teams on pricing, marketing, and go-to-market strategy
Help bring our brand to life—through strong positioning and consistent messaging
What you bring
A degree in (bio)chemistry, engineering, business, or similar
At least 5 years of experience in a commercial or technical environment (preferably in lubricants or energy-related)
Strong communication and negotiation skills in an international context
Fluency in English; Spanish is a plus
A commercial mindset and deep customer focus
You think ahead, act strategically, and enjoy working across teams – but you're just as comfortable taking initiative and working independently
You’re result-driven and ready to take ownership
What’s in it for you
You’ll kick off with a focused onboarding where you get up to speed on our technical know-how and business context. You’ll do this on-site, then work independently from your home office—with regular travel across the region.
