VP NEW BUSINESS

The opportunity

Some opportunities allow you to sell. Others allow you to build something and benefit from where it is going. This is one of those opportunities.

XIVER has world class engineering, proven technology, and strong existing customers. The technical credibility is established. What comes next is commercial acceleration. We are looking for someone who wants to be at the center of that momentum. Someone who thrives on opening new accounts, being in front of customers, and closing meaningful business.

This role is about creating new relationships, not maintaining existing ones. It requires someone who is energized by travel, enjoys engaging directly with customers, and knows how to turn technical capability into commercial success.

You will join at a stage where your impact is visible and directly connected to the company’s growth and long term success. As the business scales, so does the opportunity for the people building it.

ABOUT XIVER

XIVER is an independent deep technology company specializing in advanced MEMS, heterogeneous integration, and microfabrication capabilities for high performance applications.

The company has successfully evolved from a research driven center into an entrepreneurial, commercially focused organization. Today, more than one hundred specialized engineers work on technologies that enable next generation performance across semiconductor, sensing, medical, and advanced industrial markets.

Our capabilities include heterogeneous integration, co packaged photonics, advanced MEMS structures, and wafer level microfabrication. These are not standard products. Customers come to XIVER for expertise, precision, and solutions that cannot be sourced elsewhere.

With strong technical foundations and validated customer demand, the company is now focused on expanding its commercial reach and building lasting customer partnerships.

THE ROLE

You are responsible for driving new business growth and expanding XIVER’s customer base. Your primary focus is to identify, approach, and win new strategic customers globally. This role involves frequent travel, meeting customers on site, understanding their challenges, and building relationships that lead to long-term commercial engagements.

You will:

• Identify and open new strategic accounts across high-tech industries

• Travel internationally to engage customers and develop new business opportunities

• Lead complex sales processes from initial engagement through negotiation and agreement

• Position XIVER’s capabilities as solutions to critical customer challenges

• Engage with technical and executive stakeholders to build trust and credibility

• Work closely with engineering teams to translate customer needs into solutions

• Help strengthen and further develop the company’s commercial approach

Your success will be measured by your ability to create new opportunities and convert them into meaningful business.

YOUR PROFILE

You are a natural builder and a proven new business leader.

You are comfortable operating in technical environments and know how to create opportunities by engaging customers directly. You do not wait for business to come to you. You go out and create it.

You bring:

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree, preferably in a technical or engineering discipline

• A strong track record in new business development and closing complex technical deals

• Experience selling engineering services, technical solutions, or advanced manufacturing capabilities

• A willingness and ability to travel regularly to meet customers

• Strong ownership mentality and entrepreneurial drive

• The ability to build trust and close business in complex environments

Industry background can vary. What matters most is your ability to recognize opportunity, engage customers, and convert technical capability into commercial success.

You are motivated by ownership, growth, and the opportunity to help build something with long term value.

OUR OFFER

You step into a senior commercial leadership role with real influence and growth potential.

We offer:

• Executive-level position with direct impact on company trajectory

• Highly competitive compensation with strong performance-based upside

• Participation in a stock appreciation program aligned with long-term value creation

• 27 vacation days with option to purchase additional days

• Phone and representation allowance
