Are you a top-tier performer who hates to lose?
We are looking for a Business Development Manager to own and expand our Light Industrial and Manufacturing footprint in Southern Maine. This isn’t a role for someone who wants to sit behind a desk; this is for the "market-breaker" who loves the grind, thrives on the win, and wants to be the primary driver of their own paycheck.

Whether you are a former student-athlete, a campus leader, or a professional with a few years of "hustle" under your belt looking to break into B2B sales, you have one thing in common: you are a self-starter who wants to be at the top of the leaderboard.
Role Details

  • Location: Hybrid – Southern Maine (South Portland to Dover, NH)

  • Job Type: Full-time | 52 weeks/year

  • Industry: Staffing / Professional Services

  • Compensation: $75k–$105k OTE (Base + Uncapped Commissions)

  • Travel: High-frequency local travel (Boots on the ground)
Our Redwood Tree Culture Core Values
Make it Happen | Entrepreneurship | Teamwork | Relationships | Integrity | Communication | Sense of Urgency

About the Role
We’re looking for a pure hunter. As a Business Development Manager, you will own the Southern Maine landscape—identifying high-volume accounts from the Portland docks to the industrial parks of York County. You’ll outmaneuver the competition to secure partnerships with companies that keep Maine’s economy moving.

You are someone who views "no" as a pitstop, not a finish line. If you have the grit to prospect relentlessly and the closing skills to back it up, we provide the platform for you to build a massive book of business.
What You’ll Do

  • Attack the Market: Relentlessly prospect through cold outreach, networking at local hubs, and mastering the Southern Maine territory.

  • Consultative Closing: Master the "win" by diagnosing client pain points and delivering staffing solutions that keep production lines running.

  • Control the Room: Lead meetings with decision-makers, navigating the manufacturing floor and the executive suite with equal confidence.

  • Strategic Partnerships: Build an unshakable book of business by becoming a trusted advisor to hiring managers across the region.

  • Execution & Precision: Track your "stats" in our CRM with the discipline of a pro athlete—metrics, pipeline, and outreach are your scoreboard.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with our recruiting and ops teams to ensure every promise you make to a client is a promise kept.

The Requirements

  • Education: High School Diploma required; a Bachelor’s Degree is preferred 

  • The Competitive Edge: 1+ years of experience in high-activity environments (Sales, Hospitality, Retail, or Collegiate Athletics). We love "A-Players" from any background.

  • The Hustle: You are a natural connector who isn't afraid to walk into a plant in Biddeford or a warehouse in Westbrook and start a conversation.

  • Resilience: You have the work ethic—tough, persistent, and ready to handle the high-volume nature of industrial staffing.

  • Mobility: A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation are non-negotiable for this local-travel-heavy role.
The "It" Factor (Preferences)
Athlete/Leader Mentality: You’ve spent years competing in a team environment. You understand that discipline and consistency are what actually drive results.

Coachability: You’re hungry to learn, but you also have the "it" factor that can't be taught. You want your paycheck to be a direct reflection of your effort.

What We Offer

  • Uncapped Earning Potential (If you out-produce, you get paid—period).

  • Car Allowance for your territory travel.

  • Flexible Paid Time Off 

  • Structured sales training & career development.

  • Medical, dental, and vision benefits + 401(k) with match.
