Business Development Manager - Public Education

The Mission

Reporting directly to the VP of Sales, you will be the face of our mission across a multi-state footprint. Your goal is to help school districts and universities solve their toughest facilities challenges through our premier custodial and maintenance solutions.

What Your Days Will Look Like

• Strategic Growth: Engage with the "who’s who" of education—Superintendents, CFOs, and School Boards—to build trust and open doors.
• Master of the Road: You’ll manage a multi-state territory with a consistent travel schedule (averaging 3-day overnight stays) to meet partners where they are.
• Procurement Pro: You’ll dive deep into the world of RFPs, public bids, and cooperative purchasing (think Sourcewell and Omnia) to secure major wins.
• Conference Champion: Represent us at major trade shows (ASBO, PASBO, AASA), turning quick booth chats into long-term partnerships.
• Collaborative Design: Work hand-in-hand with our Operations team to craft service solutions that are both high-impact for schools and profitable for the business.

Who You Are

• An Experienced Navigator: You have 5+ years of B2B sales experience, ideally within the public sector or government contracting.
• Public Sector Savvy: You understand the unique rhythm of tax-based budgeting and the political nuances of school board approvals.
• Administratively Sharp: You’re a Salesforce pro who understands that a winning bid is built on meticulous data and disciplined follow-up.
• A Confident Communicator: Whether it’s a one-on-one coffee or a formal presentation to a public committee, you command the room with ease.
• Ready to Roll: You have a valid driver’s license, can pass school-mandated background checks, and are prepared for the physical demands of travel and event setup.
