Business Development Manager, Commercial Staffing
Job Description
Our Client Is Hiring: Business Development Manager (aka Opportunity Hunter Extraordinaire).
Location: Your car, your couch, or a coffee shop near your next client.
Schedule: Monday–Friday, with your hustle setting the tone.
Are you the kind of person who can walk into a room (or cold call into one) and spark instant interest? Love the thrill of chasing deals, building client relationships, and making big things happen? This is your moment.
Our client is on the lookout for a Business Development Manager to join their team of go-getters, relationship builders, and staffing solution superheroes. If you're a self-starter who lives for strategy, loves a well-placed pitch, and thrives on closing the deal—this might be your next big move.
What You’ll Be Doing (aka How You’ll Be Winning):
- Hunt down new business like a boss—cold calls, emails, coffee meetings, you name it.
- Build and grow relationships with clients that last longer than your favorite Netflix binge.
- Develop smart, consultative sales strategies that show off the real value of what they do.
- Hit your annual sales goals and make it look easy (you’ll have support the whole way).
- Stay sharp—know the services inside and out so you can sell with confidence and swagger.
- You know your way around a pitch and close—sales is your zone.
- Strong communication, negotiation, and “let’s make this happen” energy.
- Staffing industry experience? Awesome. If not, bring your hustle and they’ll show you the ropes.
- A team player who can also fly solo.
- A degree in business, marketing, or something equally ambitious.
Perks + Benefits:
- Dental, Vision, Health — all the good stuff
- Paid Time Off — because balance matters
- Flexible, remote-ish — a little on-the-road, a little WFH
- A role where your results drive your rewards
Sound like your vibe?
Apply now and show them what you’re made of. Opportunity is knocking. (They just need someone bold enough to open the door.)
