Full-Time

Role introduction

As a Business Development Manager you can expect to… 

  • Develop and identify new opportunities through outbound lead generation, inbound lead follow-up, and cultivation of prospects within the manufacturing industry, positioning Microsoft-based solutions delivered by HSO
  • Drive new and incremental leads by prospecting via telephone, email, and web outreach to engage manufacturing decision-makers including operations, finance, supply chain, IT, and plant leadership
  • Conduct high-volume, targeted outbound calling into manufacturing organizations to introduce HSO, our role as a Microsoft partner, qualify interest, and uncover business challenges
  • Engage prospects around manufacturing-specific needs such as ERP modernization, operational efficiency, supply chain optimization, data visibility, and scalability, leveraging the Microsoft technology stack
  • Meet or exceed targets established by leadership, including number of qualified manufacturing opportunities cultivated
  • Work closely with the sales team to transition qualified manufacturing opportunities for optimal closing success
  • Maintain accurate activity tracking, notes, and opportunity details in the CRM system
  • Attend and complete product, service, industry, and sales training as assigned by management, including Microsoft solution and industry training
  • Collaborate with industry marketing leads and Microsoft to execute manufacturing-focused campaigns and generate qualified lead

You’re great at… 

  • Leading authentic discovery conversations that uncover real business challenges rather than relying on scripted outreach
  • Staying resilient, focused, and motivated in a role that involves high-volume outbound activity, frequent rejection, and longer sales cycles
  • Quickly understanding a prospect’s business environment and tailoring your message to what matters most to them
  • Qualifying opportunities with intention so sales teams receive well-positioned, high-quality leads
  • Working with initiative, drive, and persistence to overcome obstacles and consistently achieve your goals
  • Managing your time effectively while balancing outreach, follow-up, and collaboration
  • Building strong, credible relationships through clear, confident verbal and written communication
  • Translating technology concepts into clear business value for non-technical audiences, drawing on your experience in software or SaaS
  • Working independently with a high degree of ownership while collaborating closely with sales and marketing partners

Sound interesting? If so, you’ll have… 

  • Bachelor’s degree in business, communications, IT, or a related field
  • 2+ years of experience in business development, inside sales, solution selling, or telemarketing
  • Proven hunter mindset with strong outbound prospecting and cold-calling skills
  • Experience conducting consultative sales conversations and effective needs assessments
  • Comfort engaging stakeholders at multiple levels of an organization and navigating longer, more complex buying cycles
  • A track record of qualifying opportunities based on business need, not just interest
  • Experience selling or prospecting software, SaaS, or technology-enabled solutions
  • Discipline around CRM usage, documentation, and follow-through
  • Experience with the manufacturing and consulting industry, preferred
