A rapidly growing, data-driven customer acquisition company is seeking a high-performing Senior Manager of Business Development to join its expanding sales organization. This is an opportunity to step into a highly visible role within a company experiencing aggressive year-over-year growth, working directly with major consumer and B2B brands across the United States. This is not a traditional sales role. You will partner directly with senior leadership to sell sophisticated B2B customer acquisition solutions to founders, CEOs, and senior marketing executives at mid-market and enterprise companies.


The business has developed a highly differentiated, performance-driven acquisition engine that helps companies grow through targeted lead generation and customer acquisition strategies. Clients range from rapidly growing businesses to nationally recognized brands.


This role is ideal for a sharp, strategic seller who thrives in consultative environments, enjoys solving business problems, and knows how to build credibility quickly with executive stakeholders.

  • Equity opportunity - participate in long-term company growth

  • Profitable, growing business - scaling through client success and recurring revenue


What You'll Be Doing



  • Lead consultative discovery conversations with CEOs, founders, marketing executives, and business leaders

  • Manage the full sales cycle from initial discovery through signed agreement

  • Help prospects understand customer acquisition economics, ROI, CAC, LTV, conversion rates, and profitability models

  • Guide buyers through strategic discussions around growth, lead acquisition, and business economics

  • Build trust quickly and position highly tailored solutions based on each client's business model

  • Manage follow-up communication with professionalism and executive-level polish

  • Represent the company at conferences, networking events, and client meetings

  • Maintain accurate pipeline management and CRM documentation

  • Collaborate closely with company leadership on deal strategy and growth initiatives


What They're Looking For

  • Proven success closing complex, multi-call B2B deals

  • Strong executive presence and ability to sell confidently to senior decision-makers

  • Sharp business acumen with comfort discussing unit economics, customer acquisition costs, margins, conversion metrics, and ROI

  • Strong written communication and polished follow-up skills

  • Highly motivated by earnings and performance incentives

  • Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment


Ideal Profile-You are:



  • Naturally curious and highly consultative

  • Quick-thinking and analytically sharp

  • Comfortable asking tough business questions

  • Able to challenge assumptions while building trust

  • Entrepreneurial, adaptable, and resourceful

  • Excited by high-growth environments rather than large corporate bureaucracy


Work Environment


This is a highly collaborative, primarily onsite role based in Los Gatos, CA.


The team works closely together in a unique founder-led environment designed for collaboration, learning, and rapid growth. Because of the highly consultative nature of the business and hands-on training model, strong in-person collaboration is important for success.



  • The ideal candidate enjoys working closely with leadership, values mentorship, and thrives in an entrepreneurial setting.



This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys blending strategic consulting with high-impact sales and wants to be part of a company redefining modern customer acquisition.
