Job Title: Director / Senior Director – New Business Development
Location:
United States – Remote
Employment Type: Full-Time
Role Type: Senior Individual Contributor / Quota-Carrying New Business Hunter

About the Role:

We are seeking an accomplished Director / Senior Director – US New Business Development to drive net-new revenue growth across the US broadband market.

This is a highly strategic, hands-on sales role for a proven business development professional with deep relationships across US broadband operators, MSOs, ISPs, fiber providers, and utility broadband organizations.

This is not a sales management or account farming role. The successful candidate will personally originate, develop, and close new business opportunities while carrying an individual revenue quota.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Personally originate and close net-new business with US broadband operators.

  • Carry and achieve an individual new-business revenue quota.

  • Build and execute strategic account plans across national, regional, and targeted broadband operators.

  • Leverage existing relationships to access senior decision-makers and key influencers.

  • Drive consultative sales conversations with stakeholders across Engineering, GIS, Network Data, OSP, Fiber Engineering, Network Planning, Construction, and Operations.

  • Sell solutions across:

    • GIS Transformation and Modernization

    • Network Data Management and Data Quality

    • FTTH/FTTx and Fiber Network Design

    • HFC Design and Modernization

    • OSP Engineering and Planning

    • Managed Engineering and Professional Services

  • Develop strategic partnerships that generate introductions, pipeline, co-selling opportunities, and revenue.

  • Work closely with engineering, pre-sales, product, and delivery teams to develop customer-specific solutions.

  • Maintain accurate CRM records, pipeline visibility, and revenue forecasting.

Required Experience:

  • 15+ years of experience in US broadband, telecommunications sales, or new business development.

  • Proven experience winning new customers and closing complex services engagements.

  • A strong and current personal network within:

    • MSOs

    • Broadband operators

    • Fiber providers

    • ISPs

    • Regional and rural broadband providers

    • Municipal and utility broadband organizations

  • Demonstrate experience carrying and achieving an individual sales quota.

  • Strong understanding of FTTH/FTTx, HFC, OSP, broadband engineering, network planning, and network operations.

  • Experience selling engineering services, GIS/data solutions, professional services, managed services, or transformation programs.

  • Strong executive communication, consultative selling, negotiation, and commercial skills.

  • Ability to travel nationally across the United States.

Critical Requirement:

Candidates must have current, direct, and personal transferable relationships with decision-makers inside US broadband operators.

The strongest candidates will be able to demonstrate relationships with leaders responsible for:

  • GIS and Network Information Systems

  • Network Data Management

  • Network Design and Engineering

  • Fiber and OSP Engineering

  • Network Planning and Architecture

  • Serviceability and Construction Engineering

  • Network Operations and Transformation

Ideal Candidate:

You are a hands-on new-business hunter who has personally built relationships, opened doors, won new logos, and closed complex services engagements within the US broadband industry.

You bring a strong operator-side network, understand broadband engineering and network transformation challenges, and have the credibility to engage senior stakeholders and convert relationships into meaningful revenue opportunities.

If you have a proven record of personally winning new business within US broadband operators and can bring immediate market access through your existing relationships, we would like to hear from you.
