We are not looking for the traditional salesperson.  To succeed as a Director of Business Development with Flexe, you must be able to constructively challenge the status quo, thrive in ambiguous situations, and paint a vision of success that energizes clients.  You will be working closely with our market development team, client success team and our CEO.  The ideal candidate is an experienced self-starter who can leverage existing relationships, build new trusted relationships, provide tight feedback loops between client needs and Flexe solutions, and dramatically grow our business.  This is an excellent opportunity to leverage your industry experience and ignite your career by coming in on the ground floor of a quickly growing startup.

  • Devel­op and deliv­er on new client and rev­enue targets.
  • Engage clients with a con­sul­ta­tive approach.
