Business Development Manager

Business Development Managers (BDMs) play a critical role in creating early-stage pipeline and advancing opportunities within enterprise provider accounts. This role bridges marketing-generated demand (“MQL”) and sales-driven evaluations by owning the motions that move opportunities from Qualify → Discovery, and later, as they ramp up, Discovery → Evaluation in partnership with AVPs.

The BDMs will engage in omnichannel lead generation—email, LinkedIn, and administrative calling—to activate cold or stalled accounts, warm target personas, and secure meaningful early conversations. They will partner closely with AVPs to tailor account-based programs for priority systems, execute targeted plays using solution-specific Sales Playbooks, and ensure exit criteria are met to progress opportunities.

This individual partners closely with Sales, Marketing, and Product teams to gather discovery insights, build relationship maps, capture exit-criteria–aligned intel, and drive early traction that sets AVPs up for success.

This is a high-impact, visible role for someone who is persistent, operationally excellent, highly organized, and comfortable navigating complex provider organizations.
