• Seamless Onboarding: Working in close collaboration with the account team, lead each new client’s onboarding in a professional and efficient manner.

4-Year College Degree

Proven Track Record: A history of exceeding goals and expectations.

Communication: Exceptional presentation skills; you can command a room (or a Zoom call) and distill complex messages into a winning narrative.

Self-Starter Mentality: You don't wait for leads to drop in your lap; you build the engine that finds them.

Working with Numbers: Comfortable working with and analyzing numbers.

Ability to Travel: Comfortable traveling as needed, with no more than 25% of the time expected.

This position reports directly to the Senior Director of Business Development and provides opportunities for professional development and growth.
