Director of Business Development

With a passion for sales, finance and technology, you are looking to join a collaborative sales team within a fast-paced startup environment. You are an extremely skilled communicator, both verbally and in writing, and your excellent people skills make you a natural relationship builder. You are organized and can manage multiple work streams in parallel while continuously prioritizing what’s most important. You are a high-output, self-motivated self-starter, able to learn fast and execute while also thriving within a collaborative, team oriented environment.

You’ll work independently to own and manage client conversations from end-to-end, including managing inbound leads and working independently to originate new business opportunities—whether through your own efforts or in partnership with our marketing organization.
