Business Development Manager
Sweden | Remote + travel
Bestplanter, part of the international forestry group GOAL15, is expanding its operations in Sweden and is looking for an experienced Business Developer to take full ownership of the Swedish market for professional forestry services.
This is a market-owning role, not a support function and not a script-driven sales position. You will be responsible for developing long-term customer relationships, identifying market opportunities, and building a sustainable project pipeline based on trust, credibility, and reliable delivery.
About Bestplanter
Bestplanter delivers professional, large-scale forestry services across Europe, including:
- Forest planting
- Forest maintenance and regeneration
- Specialized, well-organized planting teams
- Strong operational capacity and international execution standards
We currently operate in Sweden, Finland, Germany, Austria and France, combining strong local market understanding with proven international delivery capability.
Your responsibilities
- Build and develop business for Bestplanter’s forestry services in the Swedish market
- Build and maintain long-term relationships with forest owners, forestry companies and investment funds
- Identify market potential, customer needs and upcoming forestry projects
- Structure and manage your own opportunity pipeline
- Coordinate closely with operational teams to ensure realistic commitments and high service quality
- Represent the company at client meetings, industry events and trade fairs
- Contribute to long-term market development strategy in Sweden
- You will work independently, with direct support from international management and operational teams.
Your profile
- Experience working in the forestry sector, particularly with silviculture or forest operations (e.g. planting, young stand tending or similar forestry activities)
- Experience in sales, business development or client relationship management within the forestry industry
- Strong understanding of how forest owners, forestry companies and industry stakeholders operate within the Swedish forestry sector
- Ability to work independently and take ownership of market development
- Strong relationship-building and trust-based communication skills
- Structured, proactive and results-oriented way of working
- Fluent Swedish and English (Finnish is an advantage but not required)
- Willingness to travel within Sweden
What we offer
- Opportunity to represent strong, well-established forestry brands within an international forestry group
- True market ownership, with autonomy to shape customer approach and business development strategy in Sweden
- Long-term cooperation and growth opportunities aligned with forestry market dynamics
- Direct collaboration with international management and experienced operational teams
- Flexible working model based on trust, responsibility and outcomes
- Competitive compensation structure (€4,000–€6,000 gross/month with hybrid or commission-based model depending on experience and seniority)
Why Bestplanter?
Our goal in Sweden is not just to deliver individual projects, but to build long-term, reliable partnerships. We are looking for someone who understands the market, builds trust and helps strengthen our presence in the region.
