Business Development Manager

ThisWay Global, Whitehall, NY, United States


Our partner is looking for a Business Development Manager in Charlotte, NC. This role is for a true builder. The Business Development Manager is responsible for creating new relationships from the ground up—bringing in new enterprise clients through a consultative, value-driven approach. This is not a role built on inbound leads or inherited accounts. It's built on curiosity, persistence, and the ability to earn trust over time. You'll operate in a space where the work matters—supporting safety, security, and connectivity across organizations. It takes patience. It takes resilience. There are a lot of "no's." But when it comes together, the impact is real—for the client, for the organization, and for your own growth.

Responsibilities

Build from zero - Identify, engage, and convert net-new enterprise logos within your market

Lead consultative sales cycles - Diagnose needs, quantify ROI, and guide clients through complex decision‑making

Stay close to the market - Develop a point of view within your vertical and show up as a credible, trusted resource

Plan for the long‑term - Help shape multi‑year roadmaps once a client becomes a partner

Manage your pipeline with discipline - Maintain strong CRM habits and a clear path to revenue

Requirements

A true hunter - Comfortable starting conversations from scratch and building momentum over time

Resilient and steady - Able to hear "no," recalibrate, and continue progressing without losing focus

Consultative by nature - Asks thoughtful questions, listens well, and builds solutions—not just proposals

Industry fluent - Experience in low voltage, fiber, AV, security, fire alarm, access control, or related infrastructure technologies

Enterprise‑minded - Understanding of longer sales cycles, multiple stakeholders, and the discipline required to close complex deals

Community‑rooted - Builds relationships in the market and maintains a strong local presence

Grounded in values - Leads with integrity, humility, and a team‑first mindset

Preferred Qualifications

Experience selling into healthcare, SLED, or large enterprise environments

Background in managed services, telecommunications, or integrated systems

Demonstrated success with multi‑year, consultative sales cycles
