Channel Business Development Executive - PEO Partnerships (REMOTE)
BenefitHub is a fast-growing, PE-backed employee benefits and discount marketplace platform trusted by employers and PEOs nationwide. We're looking for a Channel Business Development Executive to own and grow relationships with a book of Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) - turning strong PEO partnerships into new employer clients and expanding revenue across an existing account portfolio.
This is a high-autonomy, individual-contributor role for someone who thrives on relationship-driven selling. You'll work directly with PEO partners to identify and close employer opportunities, and you'll partner closely with Customer Success and Account Management to grow the accounts you help bring in. If you like owning your own pipeline, building trust with PEO partners over time, and being measured on real revenue outcomes, this role is built for you.
What You'll Do
Grow the PEO Channel
• Build and maintain strong relationships with assigned national and regional PEO organizations and their client-facing teams.
• Educate PEO partners on BenefitHub's employee engagement, perks, voluntary benefits, and purchasing platform capabilities.
• Run PEO partner presentations, training sessions, pipeline reviews, and joint account-planning meetings.
• Represent BenefitHub at PEO partner meetings, industry events, conferences, and client presentations.
Win New Business
• Own your targets for new client wins, eligible employees added, pipeline creation, and PEO-channel revenue.
• Lead PEO-sourced opportunities from qualification through proposal, negotiation, and signed contract.
• Coordinate demos, pricing discussions, and RFI/RFP responses, partnering with internal subject-matter experts as needed.
• Keep your pipeline, forecasts, and close plans current and accurate in the CRM.
Grow Existing Accounts
• Deliver at least 15% year-over-year revenue growth across your assigned book of existing PEO-sourced clients.
• Partner with Customer Success and Account Management to identify cross-sell, upsell, and platform-expansion opportunities.
• Build relationships with both PEO partner and employer stakeholders on your accounts, and join Executive Business Reviews when growth opportunities arise.
How Success Is Measured
You'll know you're winning in this role when you're consistently hitting:
• New client wins and eligible-employee growth through PEO-sourced opportunities
• 15%+ year-over-year revenue growth across your existing-account portfolio
• Healthy, accurately forecasted pipeline coverage against your targets
• Strong PEO partner engagement and opportunity generation
• Disciplined CRM hygiene and sales-process follow-through
What You'll Bring
• 5+ years in business development, channel sales, PEO sales, enterprise sales, or strategic account growth.
• A track record of generating business through PEOs, HR outsourcing partners, channel partners, or similar referral relationships.
• Experience managing a full sales pipeline and consistently hitting new-business and growth targets.
• Background selling employee benefits, HR technology, SaaS, employee engagement, voluntary benefits, or related B2B solutions.
• Strong relationship-building, presentation, negotiation, and consultative-selling skills.
• Comfort working across PEO partners, employer decision-makers, and senior internal stakeholders.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience.
• Ability to travel as required for the role.
Nice to Have
• Existing relationships within national, regional, or local PEO organizations.
• Experience selling to HR, Benefits, Total Rewards, or Procurement leaders.
• A history of driving both new-logo acquisition and expansion growth in the same book of business.
• Familiarity with employee perks, voluntary benefits, loyalty, or workplace engagement platforms.
