Business Development Manager

Overview

Are you a health professional considering a career change? Are you motivated by performance, accountability, and the challenge of building something within a defined territory?

If you have an allied health background — Physical Therapy, Athletic Training, Strength & Conditioning, or similar — and are hungry to learn the craft of consultative field sales, this Business Development Manager (BDM) role at VALD may be the next step in your career.

VALD is the world leader in technology for the allied health industry, providing innovative human-measurement technology to over 10,000 clients in over 150 countries. If you have a favorite team in the NBA, EPL, or NFL, there s a good chance they use VALD Technologies.

Since its humble beginnings in 2015 in Brisbane, Australia, VALD has grown to a team of over 300 team members in over 30 countries, with 5 offices across four continents. Driven by a multidisciplinary team of researchers, clinicians, sports scientists, designers, developers and engineers, VALD s suite of systems offer unparalleled insight into human movement, performance, injury risk and rehabilitation.

This is a FIELD SALES role with defined territory ownership.

While this position is considered “remote” in that VALD does not operate a local office in every territory, this is not an inside sales or work-from-anywhere role. Business Development Managers are expected to spend time in the field meeting clients, performing product demonstrations, and developing relationships across their assigned territory.

• Applicants must live within 90 minutes of the posted metropolitan area associated with this role and able to travel around a 3–4-hour radius of where they live.
• Candidates who do not currently live within the territory must be willing to relocate within 30 days of offer/start date.
• Applications from candidates planning to relocate will be considered; however, priority is given to qualified candidates already residing within the territory or those who have a history/network within the assigned territory
• No relocation reimbursement is offered.

The Business Development team are on the front line for VALD. As part of a truly global team, you will attend conferences and perform product demonstrations (both in-person and teleconferences) in clinical, performance, and tactical settings. You'll set up and oversee product trials, nurture new leads and look for new opportunities for VALD.

With an education-based approach to sales, as a Business Development Manager, you must have an intimate knowledge of VALD's systems. You'll leverage your industry expertise and product knowledge to demonstrate how our clients can get the most out of our systems to provide value to their business.
