Manager, Business Development

EIDLexit • Houston, TX

13d • $65,000 - $90,000 • Remote

About The Position

At EIDLexit, our mission is to help small business owners overcome the burden of SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) and recover personally and professionally. As a Christian-led organization, we are grounded in faith, integrity, compassion, and respect. We combine human insight with AI-powered technology to enhance client results and streamline our processes. EIDLexit is seeking a manager to lead & scale our Business Development Team. We are a profitable high-growth business on track to deliver $10MM in sales this year. We are scaling the sales team, sharpening our systems, and building best-in-class sales operations. EIDLexit runs on momentum, ambition, and high standards. We value speed, continuous learning, and expect leaders to embody both. The Manager of Business Development builds, trains, and leads EIDLexit’s inbound Business Development Representative (BDR) team. Reporting directly to the EVP of Sales, this leader architects BDR team operations from the ground up—hiring, onboarding, certifying, and coaching BDRs until they are ready to represent EIDLexit and qualify prospects for our EIDL Resolution Consultants (ERCs). BDRs are the feeder bench for future ERCs. The BDR program must be built in alignment with EIDLexit’s approved tech platforms and sales methodology, enabling every BDR a clear path toward promotion into closing roles. The Manager sets the playbook, builds the bench, and owns team performance. This role is a member of EIDLexit’s sales management team, led by the EVP of Sales, and in partnership with Sales Operations on tools, systems, and methodology. No personal sales quota. The Manager leads by example. When the team needs extra hands on the phones, coverage on leads, or support on high-value deals, this role steps in first and sets the standard. At EIDLexit, leadership is earned at the front—not from the sideline.
