About The Position

As a Business Development Manager (BDM), you will be responsible for the strategic growth and management of the company’s most significant high-value accounts.

Responsibilities

• Strategic Account Management: Independently develop and execute long-term business plans for high-value accounts, ensuring alignment between the partner's goals and TrainingPeaks’ growth trajectory.

• Partnership Strategy: Identify and cultivate marketing and co-branding opportunities within your portfolio that provide value beyond direct subscription revenue.
• Domain Expertise & Strategic Consultation: Proven experience partnering with or working as a coach who utilizes the TrainingPeaks or TrainHeroic platforms to train athletes; must possess the ability to leverage this technical proficiency to provide professional-grade consultation and identify high-value growth opportunities for elite partners.
