Business Development Manager (PGH local or remote)

Gumband is hiring a Business Development Manager to help with the development of new clients and projects that align with the strategic growth objectives of the business.

This role will play a crucial role in building relationships, prospecting, and ultimately expanding our client base to drive revenue growth.

Gumband is an award-winning SaaS platform used by global tech and retail brands to manage and measure their interactive experiences or environments in real time, from anywhere.

• Brand Representation – Learn and demonstrate a strong understanding of Gumband’s product and positioning within our industry; know what our brand would (and wouldn’t) do, and how our brand would (and wouldn’t) act; and communicate this in spades in the marketplace
• Prospecting and Strategy - Analyze market conditions, identify target customer segments, and create a comprehensive plan to effectively reach and convert potential customers
• Pitching – Build and present Gumband’s offering in a compelling way that wins new work and builds enthusiasm for the brand. Work collaboratively to bring in the right stakeholders and the right time and cast the right team to speak to clients when the time is right
• Sales – Nurture early-stage opportunities, win new accounts, and grow revenue
• Product Feedback – Listen carefully to client needs and distill that information into actionable insights about the product for the product team
• Project Handoff / Integration – Work collaboratively with the rest of the Gumband team to deliver project details and client insights that will help with proposal development and marketing efforts
• CRM Management – Maintain an organized, detail-oriented process for capturing and tracking sales leads along the funnel within Gumband’s CRM platform
• Reporting and Analysis – Track and report on key sales metrics, providing regular updates to senior management on progress and performance. Conduct post-mortem analyses of closed deals to identify success factors and areas for improvement, using data-driven insights to refine sales strategies
