    JOB DESCRIPTION

    HiringThing is looking for a high-energy, driven professional with natural sales instincts to join our Business Development team. You will help build the sales funnel through prospecting new channel partnerships and strategic accounts, articulating our value proposition with potential partners in a consultative, solutions-based sales approach. You see opportunity around every corner, approach sales with tenacity and overcome objectives every day. This is primarily an inside sales position but does require occasional domestic travel as needed; expected travel is 10% or less.

You will simultaneously manage multiple lead channels. Constant daily tasks include scheduling and conducting demos, prospecting, lead management, liaising with engineering on professional services estimates, and all tasks related to closing the sale.

    You will be encouraged to grow into your role and own your work. You will have the opportunity to take on leadership positions managing your own verticals as we continue to grow the Business Development team.
