If you're looking for a place where your ideas matter and your work can make a real impact, we'd love to meet you.

As a Business Development Manager, you’ll be at the forefront of our growth, building new client partnerships and opening doors to opportunity. This isn’t your typical sales role - it’s a high-impact mix of strategy, hustle, and heart.

This is a hunter role that is perfect for someone who thrives on creating new connections, loves being out in the field, and brings a bold, proactive approach to sales.

💼 What You’ll Do

As a Business Development Manager at Openwork, you’ll be the engine behind our growth. Here's how you'll make your mark:

• Drive new business by identifying, connecting with, and converting prospective clients in your territory.
• Build and manage a go-to-market plan, including market intel, competitor insights, and target account strategy.
• Deliver tailored staffing solutions that align with client needs — using our pricing, safety, and compliance frameworks.
• Foster strong, consultative relationships with decision-makers and influencers at every level.
• Log all sales activities and pipeline progress in Hub Spot with accuracy and urgency.
• Partner closely with our recruiting team to ensure new clients are set up for success.
• Support seamless onboarding by capturing the right info and coordinating with internal teams.
• Join daily team huddles to stay aligned on strategy and support.
• Share weekly pipeline progress and performance updates with your leader.
