About the role

  • Collaborate with the Managing Director to develop a targeted prospecting and outreach strategy within your territories, identifying owners, developers, operators, and investment firms that can benefit from our services.

  • Leverage Bisnow, Biscred and SelectLeaders data, technology, and industry relationships to identify high-value opportunities and drive revenue.
  • Document all client interactions, opportunity stages, and contract details in Salesforce. Communicate effectively with internal stakeholders to maintain transparency and alignment.

Requirements

  • Ability to operate with more autonomy while partnering closely with leadership.
  • Proven ability to influence decision makers and manage more complex sales motions.
