26 Lines of Code is an experienced software development partner. We build custom IT solutions (fixed-price projects) and provide long-term team extension services (outstaffing) for clients worldwide, primarily focusing on the US, UK, and EU markets.

Our Core Expertise Includes:

• Fixed-Price Projects: Web portals, e-commerce, platform modernization, CRM, and internal systems powered by AI integration and workflow automation.
• Staff Augmentation / Dedicated Teams: Providing Senior-level experts in Backend, Frontend, Mobile, QA, DevOps, UI/UX, and Project Management.

We are looking for a high-performing Senior Sales / Business Development Manager who can independently drive the entire sales cycle—from the initial cold outreach and deep discovery to closing high-ticket deals.

What We Offer

• Financial Terms: $3,000 base salary + a highly competitive commission (2-5%) from every closed deal (negotiable based on your experience).
• Fast-Paced Pre-sales: Direct and rapid support from the founder and tech team (quick estimations, solution validation, and proposal drafting).
• Solid Case Studies & Reputation: Strong portfolio, active profiles, and verified reviews on Clutch, Upwork, and LinkedIn to back up your pitch.
• Full Sales Tech Stack: Access to premium automation and sourcing tools (LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, Lemlist, dedicated domains, and CRM).
• Zero Bureaucracy: Direct communication with leadership, fast decision-making, and agile approval of commercial terms.
• Career Growth: Opportunity to build out the sales department and grow into a CBDO / VP of Sales position as we scale.

• International Networking: Corporate coverage for business trips, industry conferences, and face-to-face meetings with clients abroad.

Responsibilities

• Pipeline Generation: Build and maintain a healthy sales pipeline through your personal network and outbound channels (LinkedIn, Email sequences, Upwork, Clutch, GoodFirms).
• Discovery & Qualification: Conduct deep discovery calls using frameworks like SPIN, BANT, MEDDIC, or Challenger to uncover business pain points, calculate costs of inaction, and build rock-solid ROI arguments.
• Solution Engineering: Collaborate with the tech team to define the scope of work, technical approach, and timelines for prospective projects.
• Commercial Negotiations: Lead pricing and contract negotiations with C-level executives and procurement departments.
• Deal Closing: Drive contracts through to the signing phase (full support with MSA/SOW templates is provided).

• CRM Hygiene: Maintain clean records in the CRM and provide accurate revenue forecasting.

Requirements (Must-Haves)

• 5+ years of experience in B2B sales / business development within IT outsourcing, outstaffing, or consulting.
• Proven Track Record in the US/Western European markets: Closed fixed-price projects worth $50,000+ and/or outstaffing contracts at $6,500+ per month per developer.
• Outbound Mastery: Extensive practical experience in building cold sales funnels (not just relying on inbound leads).
• Sales Methodologies: Hands-on experience applying SPIN, BANT, MEDDIC, or Challenger frameworks to uncover client pain points and tailor solutions around them.
• Languages: English — C1 (fluent spoken and written for advanced negotiations); Ukrainian — Native.

• Autonomy: High level of self-organization, accountability, and a mindset that closed revenue is the ultimate metric of success.

Nice-to-Haves

• A personal, well-nurtured LinkedIn profile with 5k+ relevant connections and regular content creation.
• A solid tech literacy (Backend, Frontend, Mobile, DevOps, Cloud) to confidently talk to technical stakeholders without looping in an engineer for every call.

• Experience attending international conferences and offline networking events.
