Our Business Development teams are relentless about building trust-based, value-add relationships with clients, delivering long-term client value, and building their book of business over time.

  3. Continually build a pipeline of high-quality opportunities to deliver against your sales metrics ensuring KPIs are met.
  4. Quota responsibility for your assigned territory.
  5. Manage complex high-revenue sales across matrix and diverse business environments.
  6. Own forecasting and account planning on a monthly/quarterly/annual basis.

Requirements:
  1. 5+ years' B2B sales experience, preferably within a complex, intangible sales environment.
  2. Business development or new-client acquisition experience in a selling role is highly desired.
  3. Experience selling to and/or influencing C-level executives.
