Business Development & Sales Director, Europe

Our mission is to accelerate the exploration of Earth’s final frontier—the ocean—by pioneering autonomous technologies and unlocking transparent, actionable intelligence.

We believe that understanding the ocean is essential to thriving on this planet and beyond. The ocean is not just a vast body of water—it is the foundation of our climate, our resources, our communications, and our energy. As critical infrastructure increasingly moves beneath the waves, our ability to explore, map, and safeguard the ocean’s bedrock becomes vital.

We’re not just connecting the world by sea—we’re revealing the deep, unseen structure that connects all life. To secure our future, we must first understand the ground beneath us, the foundation of our civilization.

We are seeking a Business Development & Sales Director, Europe to spearhead our commercial presence and growth across the European market. This role is for a highly driven individual contributor who thrives on building relationships, driving new business, and closing complex deals in the subsea technology and data intelligence space.

You will own the full sales cycle in Europe—from strategy through execution—working directly with commercial, government, and research stakeholders. As our first dedicated BD leader in the region, you will play a critical role in shaping Bedrock’s European footprint.

• Market Expansion: Develop and execute Bedrock’s sales strategy for Europe, identifying priority markets, customers, and opportunities.
  

• Pipeline Generation: Build and maintain a robust pipeline of opportunities across energy, offshore wind, subsea infrastructure, government agencies, and research institutions.

We get to illuminate the darkness, explore the unknown, and be first to see what we can discover. We can see everything on earth, except in the depths of the sea.
