Position Overview:
The Client Development Manager accelerates pipeline growth within a defined portfolio of strategic Manufacturing and Distribution accounts, with measurable objectives tied to qualified opportunity creation. Success requires commercial judgment, fluency in industrials, building products, chemicals, and specialty packaging priorities, and the ability to engage senior commercial leaders as a credible representative of Alexander Group's thought leadership, research, and services.
Responsibilities:
- Develop a strong understanding of Alexander Group's services, Manufacturing and Distribution perspectives, value propositions, and points of differentiation.
- Maintain actionable account plans, relationship maps, whitespace priorities, and engagement history to guide account strategy and execution.
- Expand executive access across buying centers, functions, business units, and leadership levels through insight-led interactions that build credibility and uncover strategic priorities.
- Represent Alexander Group in executive briefings, roundtables, conferences, research discussions, and other client-facing interactions.
- Translate account strategy into year-round engagement plans with clear audiences, actions, owners, outcomes, and next steps.
- Connect client needs and market signals to relevant Alexander Group capabilities; conduct early discovery and involve consulting leaders when deeper exploration is warranted.
- Coordinate consulting leaders, Marketing, Client Development, and subject-matter experts to create a consistent client experience and sustain momentum between seller interactions.
- Deliver concise, decision-oriented updates on relationship expansion, qualified opportunity creation, and account progress.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of relevant education and professional experience.
- Seven or more years of experience in consultative business development, strategic account management, client development, or a comparable role serving complex B2B manufacturing or distribution customers.
- Demonstrated ability to engage senior executives, communicate thought leadership, expand relationships, and connect organizational challenges to relevant solutions.
- Experience mapping complex manufacturing or distribution accounts, identifying buying centers and whitespace, and developing senior stakeholder relationships.
- Strong commercial judgment, including the ability to prioritize accounts, relationships, signals, and opportunities with limited direction.
- Proven ability to influence and coordinate senior internal stakeholders without formal authority.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, including concise, executive-level synthesis and messaging.
- Working proficiency with Salesforce or a comparable CRM and experience using account-intelligence, productivity, or relationship-development tools.
- Experience serving manufacturing and distribution organizations strongly preferred. Professional services, management consulting, advisory, industrial technology, or other expertise-led business experience is a plus.
This is not a high-volume outbound sales, campaign-execution, or account-coordination role. Success depends on senior executive engagement, commercial credibility, complex relationship navigation, account-team coordination, and sustained progress across longer engagement journeys.
Salary: $110,000 - 130,000. Bonus eligible.
