Business Development Manager

Do you thrive on building relationships, closing deals, and exceeding ambitious growth goals?

We're looking for a high-energy, results-driven Business Development Team Manager to help accelerate our growth, expand our market presence, and create lasting partnerships that drive membership and revenue. This is not a role for someone who enjoys sitting behind a desk all day. We're seeking a natural hunter, connector, and leader who loves turning opportunities into results.

If you're motivated by achieving goals, developing strategic partnerships, leading people, and making a measurable impact on business growth, we want to talk with you.

A Day in the Life of a Business Development Team Manager

Every day, you'll be responsible for creating new opportunities that contribute directly to SkyOne's growth while leading and developing a high-performing team focused on delivering results. Your success will be measured by your ability to build relationships, generate new business, increase membership, achieve sales goals, and inspire your team to consistently exceed expectations.

One morning, you may be meeting with a large employer group to present partnership opportunities that could bring hundreds of potential members to SkyOne. In the afternoon, you could be coaching your Business Relationship Managers on pipeline management, prospecting strategies, conversion techniques, and professional development. You'll conduct regular one-on-one meetings, provide performance feedback, remove obstacles, and help team members sharpen their skills to maximize individual and team success. Later, you might attend a community event, networking function, or dealership visit where you're building relationships that lead to future business opportunities.

As a leader, you'll be responsible for setting clear expectations, monitoring performance, fostering accountability, and creating an engaging, collaborative culture where team members feel supported, motivated, and empowered to grow their careers. You'll recruit, develop, and retain top talent while ensuring your team has the tools, resources, and guidance needed to achieve ambitious goals.

Because you're highly competitive and results-oriented, you'll constantly be identifying new ways to increase membership growth, deepen relationships, expand SkyOne's footprint in the communities we serve, and elevate your team's performance.

You'll partner closely with executive leadership, marketing, retail operations, and lending teams to develop strategies that generate measurable business results. You'll track performance, analyze trends, adjust tactics, and ensure your team consistently meets and exceeds expectations while delivering an exceptional experience for members and business partners alike.

Simply put, your mission is to create growth, develop people, and build a winning team!
