About The Position

This role asks you to not just sell but build markets. You will not inherit a territory; you will own the responsibility for creating one! We are expanding into entirely new markets for Public Address and we're looking for Business Development Managers who are willing to challenge conventional thinking and redefine how business gets done.

People who thrive while facing adversity, who see obstacles as puzzles to solve, and who refuse to accept average results. This is not a role for someone who simply wants to hit quotas. This is for someone who wants to build something meaningful, earn without limits, and leave a lasting impact on a growing company. Qualified candidates must be located near a major metro airport for frequent (up to 50%) travel as needed.
