Position Summary

The Director, Business Development, East Region is a senior new-business hunter charged with winning new enterprise B2B2C partnerships across water/sewer utilities and large municipalities throughout the Eastern United States. This is a high-impact, quota-carrying seat for an experienced hunter who thrives in complex, multi-stakeholder selling environments and has the discipline to manage long, relationship influenced and procurement-driven sales cycles from first contact to signature. Our new exclusive endorsement from the National League of Cities, gives this Director a market-leading credential to open doors and build trust with prospective utility and municipal partners. Reporting to the VP, Business Development, the Director owns the full sales cycle for the assigned territory, from prospecting and stakeholder mapping through RFP/RFI response, consultative solution design, negotiation, and contract execution, translating OHS's B2B2C value proposition into a compelling, tailored offering for each prospective partner. This is a hunter role, not an account management role: the Director builds and converts a disciplined pipeline of new enterprise accounts, working cross-functionally with Product, Legal, Finance, Marketing, and Operations to ensure new partnerships are executable and scalable at launch. The role can be based in any major metropolitan area within the Eastern time zone, with up to 50% travel to engage prospective partners, attend industry events, and support proposal and contract milestones. This is a strong fit for a driven, competitive new-business hunter who wants to build a career-defining book of business inside a fast-paced, rapidly growing enterprise, and who will serve as a visible ambassador for OHS in the utility and municipal sector as the company expands its East Region footprint.

This remote role may be based in any major metropolitan area within the Eastern Time Zone. The position requires up to 50% travel to meet with prospective partners, attend industry events, and support key proposal and contract milestones.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Develop and execute territory and account-based growth strategies to identify, engage, and secure new utility and municipal partnerships throughout the Eastern United States.

• Build and manage a robust pipeline of qualified business opportunities by prospecting, stakeholder mapping, and cultivating relationships across target accounts.

• Own the full sales cycle from initial outreach through contract execution, including discovery, solution development, proposal creation, negotiation, and close.

• Lead consultative sales discussions with utility and municipal stakeholders to understand business needs and develop tailored partnership solutions.

• Manage and coordinate complex RFP and RFI processes, partnering with internal teams to develop compelling, compliant, and differentiated proposals.

• Develop and deliver executive-level presentations, business cases, and commercial proposals that effectively communicate the Oncourse value proposition.

• Negotiate pricing, commercial terms, and contract agreements while partnering with leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to advance opportunities to signature.

• Collaborate closely with Product, Marketing, Legal, Finance, and Operations teams to ensure partnerships are strategically aligned and successfully launched.

• Maintain accurate pipeline management, forecasting, opportunity tracking, and sales reporting.

• Represent Oncourse Home Solutions at industry conferences, association events, and customer meetings.

• Provide market intelligence, competitive insights, and customer feedback to inform growth strategies.

• Navigate complex regulatory, governance, and procurement environments common within utilities and municipalities.

Additional Comments and Requirements

Ideal candidate profile: a hungry, driven, competitive new-business hunter with a demonstrated appetite for complex, long-cycle sales environments, who is energized rather than discouraged by procurement processes, building and cultivating relationships, multi-stakeholder buying committees, and extended timelines.
