Director - Business Development (EMEA/AMER)

At Vessev, we’re defining a new category of marine transport: hydrofoiling electric vessels that are genuinely better for people and the planet. In 2024, we launched our first vessel, the VS–9, and made headlines in Forbes, Electrek, New Atlas, and more. Since then we’ve received orders from every major region of the world and have an order book that extends well over the horizon.

With strong momentum, global demand, and major scaling ahead, we’re hiring an in-region Director - Business Development to drive revenue and lead Vessev’s commercial growth in these rapidly expanding markets. This is a high-trust role for a proven closer, someone who can convert opportunities into deals, expand into new markets, and build a high-value pipeline. While the focus will be on AMER or EMEA, we’re a collaborative team, and the role will have a global impact. 

This is a rare opportunity to join a high-growth startup operating in a rapidly expanding space.  There is so much scope to make this role your own, and we want you to create something you’re insanely proud of.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll lead market growth and commercial strategy from the front. You’ll shape how Vessev grows, sector by sector, region by region, and partner by partner. You will play a foundational role in propelling a more liveable world with us.

You’ll find opportunities directly, structure deals, close partner
