About Kompetenza

  • Sponsorship available
  • Option to move to Dubai if outside of the UAE

Kompetenza, part of the MaxAccelerate Technology Group, is a Salesforce-partner specialising in CRM solutions, FlexTeam Pods, and digital transformation services. Our FlexTeam Pods service helps clients scale their Salesforce and CRM teams efficiently, reducing hiring costs while maintaining high-quality delivery. We work with businesses globally to provide on-demand, expert Salesforce and CRM consultants tailored to their project needs.


The Role: Business Developer (IT Sales/Recruitment Background)

We are seeking a Business Developer with a background in I.T. technical sales or recruitment, particularly within the Salesforce or CRM ecosystem. This role is ideal for those who have built a recruitment desk from scratch and wish to transition into a business development role in IT services.

The ideal candidate:

  • Will bring an existing network of customers in Salesforce or other CRM platforms, along with experience in contract or technical recruitment.
  • Will be responsible for generating leads, building relationships, and selling Kompetenza’s FlexTeam Pods service to clients needing expert Salesforce and CRM consultants.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and develop a pipeline of new business opportunities within the Salesforce and CRM ecosystem.
  • Identify and target enterprise clients, consulting firms, and system integrators requiring Salesforce/CRM consultants.
  • Drive end-to-end sales processes, from lead generation and qualification through to contract negotiation and closure.
  • Develop and execute sales strategies to expand Kompetenza’s FlexTeam Pods service offering.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
