This is an exciting opportunity to partner with an elite enterprise AI consultancy and build our North American footprint from the ground floor. We are looking for someone to unlock and grow 0-to-1 relationships with the world's most premium luxury, fashion, beauty, travel, and entertainment brands.

• Location: REMOTE ( US East Coast strongly preferred - New York City metro area)
• Travel: ~25-35% travel across North American enterprise markets. Occasional travel for client sessions and team alignment.
• Employment Type: Full-time (W-2 Staff).
• Eligibility Requirement: Must be a US Citizen. (Sponsorship or non-citizen hiring is unavailable due to client security frameworks).
• Reports to: Partner, North America.

Why This Role Exists

Converteo is a dominant European force turning AI pilots into production-grade systems. As we aggressively expand into the US and Canada, this role bridges the global gap: you will inherit a warm, prestigious European client base to expand into North America, while simultaneously hunting for new elite enterprise footprints.

We are hiring a senior, closing-tier Manager of Business Development to own the North American enterprise sales cycle end-to-end. Working closely with the Partner and CEO, you will act as a process-owning commercial leader-running discovery, steering complex C-suite conversations, and closing high-value deals to establish our market footprint.

What Success Looks Like (First 6-12 Months)

• Pipeline Sourcing: High volume of qualified enterprise pipeline generated across our priority consumer verticals.
• Deal Velocity: Sourced opportunities systematically advanced and closed into paid discoveries, pilots, or formal proposals.
• Lighthouse Wins: Securing our first reference-able, premium enterprise clients in our target verticals to unlock market expansion.
• Process Architecture: A repeatable, fully instrumented sales process and forecast cadence built from scratch.
• Funnel Optimization: Consistent conversion improvements across key metrics (meeting, discovery, pilot/proposal, close).

What You Will Own

• C-Suite fluency & Deal Leadership: Command the room. Run strategic discovery, capability, and scoping sessions with enterprise buyers as a credible senior Converteo presence.
• Event-Driven Pipeline & Networking: Act as the face of Converteo at major industry conferences and by hosting intimate, curated events like private dinners and roundtable discussions. You will turn authentic connections with luxury and entertainment executives into a robust pipeline of enterprise leads.
• Sales Process Ownership: Move prospects systematically through early qualification stages. Act as the primary bridge between new leads, internal technical experts, regional Partners, and Client CEO to coordinate introductory syncs, clear early hurdles, and seamlessly transition accounts into formal discovery.
• Pipeline Infrastructure & Forecasting: Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene, opportunity stage discipline, accurate revenue forecasting, and structured win/loss reviews.
• Ecosystem Sourcing: Turn executive communities, technology partner networks (e.g., Google Cloud, Veeva), conferences, private dinners, and roundtables into qualified commercial pipelines.
• Demand Generation Strategy: Oversee high-level account research and targeted outbound outreach frameworks, delegating tactical execution to a BDR/SDR team as the practice grows.

Who You Are

• Experienced Prospector: 3-6 years of business development, sales development, or account-based marketing experience-ideally for consulting, enterprise AI software, MarTech, or digital transformation services.

• Industry Fluent: Familiarity with AI/agentic concepts, enterprise delivery workflows, or the target luxury, beauty, fashion, retail, and hospitality ecosystems is a major plus.
• Disciplined Operator: Highly organized with CRM hygiene, target list segmentation, outreach sequences, and fast-moving growth environments.
