This is an exciting opportunity for a proactive sales professional who enjoys developing new business, building relationships with enterprise clients, and taking ownership of the full sales cycle.
The ideal candidate brings experience selling expert network services or related research solutions to corporate clients and thrives in an entrepreneurial, fast-paced environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify, prospect, and acquire new corporate clients, focusing on strategy, corporate development, innovation, market intelligence, and product teams.

- Proven track record of acquiring new corporate clients and consistently achieving sales targets.
- Established relationships with corporate decision-makers who purchase expert consultations or research services.
- Strong prospecting, consultative selling, negotiation, and closing skills.
- Ability to manage the full sales cycle independently.
- Familiarity with industry compliance standards related to expert consultations and research.
- Based in New York or on the U.S. West Coast.
Preferred
- Experience selling expert network or research solutions directly to corporate clients rather than exclusively to investment firms.
- Background in a growing or entrepreneurial organization.
- Experience developing sales strategies, building pipelines, and expanding into new markets.
Ideal Candidate
We are seeking a hands-on, new-business-focused sales professional who enjoys opening doors and winning new accounts.
The ideal candidate is comfortable working independently, has an established corporate network, and can demonstrate measurable sales achievements.
This is an individual contributor opportunity suited to an experienced Business Development Manager rather than an executive-level sales leader.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
- Join a growing international organization expanding its U.S. corporate business.
- Take ownership of new client acquisition and territory development.
- Work with a collaborative international team.
- Make a direct impact on business growth with opportunities for professional development.
