Job Description


Are you a top-tier performer who hates to lose?

We are looking for a Business Development Manager to own and expand our Light Industrial and Manufacturing footprint. This is for someone who loves the grind of the "win" and wants to be the primary driver of their own paycheck. We need a market-breaker who is ready to out-hustle the competition and secure high-volume accounts.

This is a "hunter" role designed for someone who thrives under pressure. Whether you’re a former student-athlete, a campus leader, or a driven professional looking to break into B2B sales, you have one thing in common: you are a self-starter who wants to be at the top of the leaderboard.

Role Details
Location: On-site – Williamette Valley, OR
Job Type: Full-time | 52 weeks/year
Industry: Staffing / Professional Services
Compensation: $75k-$105k OTE (Base + Commissions)
Travel: Local travel within assigned territory

Our Redwood Tree Culture Core Values: 
Make it Happen | Entrepreneurship | Teamwork | Relationships | Integrity | Communication | Sense of Urgency
 

About the Role
We’re looking for a pure hunter. As a Business Development Manager, you will own the light industrial landscape, identifying high-volume accounts and outmaneuvering the competition to secure partnerships. You are a self-starter who views "no" as a pitstop, not a finish line.

If you have the grit to prospect relentlessly and the closing skills to back it up, we provide the platform for you to build a massive book of business.

What You’ll Do

  • Attack the Market: Relentlessly prospect and identify new business through cold outreach, boots-on-the-ground networking, and local market mastery.

  • Consultative Closing: Master the art of the "win" by diagnosing client pain points and delivering staffing solutions that keep manufacturing lines moving.

  • Control the Room: Lead meetings with decision-makers, navigating the manufacturing floor and the executive suite with equal confidence.

  • Strategic Partnerships: Build an unshakable book of business by becoming a trusted advisor to hiring managers across the region.

  • Execution & Precision: Track your "stats" in our CRM with the discipline of a pro athlete—metrics, pipeline, and outreach are your scoreboard.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with our recruiting and ops teams to ensure every promise you make to a client is a promise kept.

  • Master the Deal: Get hands-on with pricing, negotiation, and contract strategy to maximize territory profitability.

The Requirements
  • Education: High School Diploma required; a Bachelor’s Degree in Business or Professional Selling is preferred
  • The Competitive Edge: 1+ years of experience in high-activity environments (Sales, Hospitality, Retail, or Collegiate Athletics).

  • The Hustle: You are a natural connector who isn't afraid to walk into a plant and start a conversation.

  • Resilience: A "no" is just a redirect. You have the grit to handle the high-volume nature of the industrial staffing world.

  • Operational Discipline: You manage your time and territory like a business owner—organized, prioritized, and focused on the goal.

  • Mobility: A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation are non-negotiable for this local-travel-heavy role.
The "Gold Medal" Profile (Preferred)

  • Leadership/Athletic Background: You’ve spent years competing in a team environment and have a strong work ethic built around discipline, consistency and delivering results.

  • The "It" Factor: You are coachable, hungry, and looking for a career where your paycheck is a direct reflection of your effort.

  • B2B Exposure: Familiarity with CRM tools or professional services is a plus, but your drive is what matters most.
