Business Development Manager — Hospitality Staffing & Facility Services

Our client is hiring Business Development Managers to join a National Sales Team. This is a new-business (hunter) role selling staffing and facility services solutions into hotels and hospitality organizations, with heavy emphasis on C-suite selling, financial acumen, and complex/RFP-driven sales cycles.

Location: Flexible (U.S.); candidates primarily based in the Northeast may not be a fit due to limited operational coverage in that region

Schedule: Must be available to work outside standard business hours as needed (early/late shifts, weekends, holidays)


Role Summary

The Business Development Manager’s objective is to demonstrate the client’s unique value to potential customers and provide staffing and facility services solutions that meet customer needs. Success requires strong C-suite/customer interaction, the ability to advocate within complex organizations, and the financial discipline to develop strategies that address gaps and pressures within a customer’s operating budget.

  • Communicate pipeline stage changes regularly to sales leadership and team.

  • Demonstrate cultural leadership, accountability, and values-based participation.

  • Demonstrated ability to navigate a highly competitive, complex selling environment.

  • Strong financial acumen (operating budgets, value justification, and financially-driven selling).

  • Experience managing RFP-driven sales cycles and producing high-quality written proposals (RFPs, RFQs, contracts, customer communications).

  • Comfortable presenting to groups and speaking to large audiences.
