Director, Business Development

Elevate Aging. Drive Change. Own Your Impact.

Aline is on a mission to transform the senior living industry. Our platform powers the complete resident lifecycle - from CRM and Marketing to Clinical Care, Billing, and Operations. We are in a phase of strategic acceleration, and we are looking for elite sales leaders who are ready to grow with us.

As a Director of Business Development, you will own net-new logo acquisition across customer segments, with a focus in the Enterprise and Strategic space. You will carry a quota, execute a sales motion, and build trusted relationships that turn prospects into long-term partners. You will be part of a high-performance team where methodology, strategy, and coaching are the foundations of success.

Responsibilities

• You will own the entire sales cycle with extreme ownership over your numbers - from first outreach to signed contract. Your primary focus is net-new logo acquisition. You will carry a defined quota and are expected to maintain a pipeline-to-quota ratio of 4:1 or greater.
• Lead with Insights: You dont just qualify leads - you uncover business triggers. You conduct deep discovery to establish credibility and determine strategic fit before ever presenting a solution.
• Build the Business Case: You quantify the financial impact of a prospects current challenges and build a compelling case that ties our solution directly to their P&L.
• Orchestrate the Deal Strategy: You act as the pilot of the deal, partnering closely with Solutions Consultants to deliver tailored demonstrations where every meeting proves specific value - never a generic tour.
• Navigate Complex Organizations: You map the organization, engage executive decision-makers, champions, and end-users, and build consensus across the full buying committee.
• Drive the Timeline: You dont hope for a close date - you engineer it. You use shared project plans to align timelines with buyers and proactively navigate legal and procurement to maintain momentum.
• Manage Your Business: You commit to accuracy. You maintain a clean Salesforce pipeline with forecasts based on objective milestones, not optimism.
• Build and Maintain Pipeline: You prospect and engage senior living operators through outbound outreach, customer meetings, calls, events, and strategic follow-up to sustain consistent top-of-funnel activity.
• Represent Aline in the Market: You will travel to industry conferences, trade shows, and client sites as a face of the brand - building relationships and generating pipeline in the field.
• Cross-Functional Partnerships: Success in this role requires deep collaboration across the organization. You will establish close working relationships with:
• Customer Experience: Ensure seamless handoffs post-signature; stay close to customer health within your named accounts.
• Marketing: Leverage campaigns, events, and content to support pipeline generation; provide market feedback to inform go-to-market strategy.
• Solutions Consultants: Partner on discovery, demonstrations, and technical validation to ensure prospects experience tailored, value-driven engagements.

Qualifications

• Experience: 5+ years of full-cycle B2B SaaS sales experience with a demonstrated track record of closing complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise deals. 2+ years of senior living industry experience is a strong plus.
• Quota Ownership: Proven track record of carrying and exceeding a defined sales quota. You understand what it means to own a number and do what it takes to hit
• Methodology DNA: Fluency in structured enterprise sales frameworks - MEDDPICC, Sandler, Challenger, or equivalent. You use these naturally to assess deal health and identify risk before it becomes a problem.
• Intellectual Curiosity: You ask why until you understand the root cause. You are comfortable challenging a prospects status quo to reveal the cost of inaction.
• Industry Fluency (Preferred): Experience selling into senior living, post-acute care, or healthcare technology gives you an immediate advantage - but elite enterprise sellers who can learn the industry quickly are equally welcome.
• Process Discipline: You appreciate structure. You know that slowing down during discovery accelerates velocity later. You maintain clean pipeline hygiene and hold yourself to the same standards youd expect from others.
• Travel Readiness: This role requires regular travel to conferences, trade shows, and client meetings across your territory.
• Team Player: You leverage internal resources - Product, Marketing, CS, Legal, Leadership - effectively and without ego. You are coachable, feedback-driven, and actively contribute to team deal reviews and culture.

Why Aline?

• A Culture of Development: We enable our team, not just manage them. You will receive consistent coaching, structured resources, and support from a leadership team invested in your success.
• Platform Breadth: You arent selling a point solution. You are selling a comprehensive platform spanning Sales and Marketing, Dining, Clinical, Finance, and Operations - built for the entire community lifecycle.
• High Standards: We celebrate wins, learn from losses, and treat sales as a science. This is a high-performance culture where results are recognized and effort is respected.
• Market Momentum: The senior living industry is undergoing significant technology transformation. Aline is at the center of that shift - and this role puts you at the front.

Compensation

Compensation includes a competitive base salary with a performance-based variable commission opportunity tied directly to new logo acquisition and quota attainment. Aline also offers a comprehensive benefits package, travel expense reimbursement, and access to ongoing professional development resources.
