In addition to their digital demand gen capabilities, our client is launching a compelling new tele offering and is adding a Business Development Manager to their team to support their expansion. The Business Development Manager will target both new and active client accounts with the objective of identifying, engaging and converting new sales opportunities. In this role, you will use your consultative, challenger selling approach to engage directly with decision-makers.

Our client is a global B2B demand generation agency with strategic and technological experience optimizing both upstream marketing investments and sales effectiveness in sectors where multiple decision-makers purchase complex products over long buying cycles and through multi-tier channels.  They help B2B organizations to evolve from outdated outbound marketing to a fully-measurable demand engine with a unique unified customer experience framework. While there can be any number of services to augment current capabilities, they bring the consultative expertise and best practices to connect that marketing ecosystem to make it make sense and maximize their customer’s investments in MarTech and campaigns.
