Business Development Lead at Advania

Join Advania, one of the leading IT services providers in the Nordics, as a Business Development Lead for our Sovereign AI platform, Yggdrasil. You will play a key role in bringing one of Advania's most strategic investments to market in Denmark. Working closely with central platform and delivery teams in Sweden, you will help turn AI potential into real business outcomes for our customers.

• executing central go-to-market playbooks in a local context,

• bringing local market insights back to the central team.

Our ambition is to position Advania as an end-to-end AI partner — from strategy and data readiness through to build, operate, and scale.

In addition, you will…

• Work closely with central Customer Solutions teams and local AI leadership to shape and progress opportunities.

• Develop local partner relationships and originate joint pipeline.

• Create reference cases with documented business outcomes.

• Maintain strong pipeline discipline, forecasting, and CRM hygiene.
