Xebia Academy is Xebia’s learning and development partner. We help professionals and organizations stay ahead by continuously developing their knowledge and skills through high-quality training and learning programs. With more than 10,000 participants every year, we are growing rapidly and have the ambition to become the number one Tech and IT Training and Upskilling partner in Europe.

As our new Business Development Representative, you’ll become part of our close-knit Academy team. We’re a team that works hard, celebrates successes together, shares knowledge, and — most importantly — enjoys working together. Your focus will be on the Software Technology service line, where you’ll help grow and fill our training programs in areas such as software development, cloud, AI, and modern software engineering.

Your goal is simple: connect the right people with the right training. You’ll proactively connect with professionals and organizations, discover their challenges and development needs, and advise them on the training that best fits their ambitions.

You’ll be responsible for creating opportunities and filling our Software Technology training programs. You’ll use phone, email, LinkedIn, events, campaigns, and your own network to build relationships and generate business.
You won’t start from zero. Xebia Academy already has a strong brand, an extensive network, valuable content, events, and a great portfolio of training programs. At the same time, you’ll have plenty of freedom to develop your own approach, experiment with new ideas, and find new opportunities. You’ll work closely with our trainers and Software Technology experts, bringing their knowledge to the right people and organizations.

At Xebia Academy, we believe in people first, quality without compromise, knowledge sharing, and customer intimacy. You’ll work with enthusiastic colleagues who genuinely care about what they do and enjoy sharing knowledge with each other.
