Work & Co (work.co) defines and launches the world's most successful digital products and services. With a team over 500+ and offices in the United States, Brazil, and Europe, we've become the go-to partner for IKEA, Google, Apple, Mercedes, Vistaprint, MTA, Planned Parenthood, Gatorade, and more. As Fast Company noted, our engineering and design teams are routinely entrusted with creating digital products for companies which rarely approach outside firms. Forrester Research calls our approach "a model to follow."
We're seeking a Business Development Manager to join our team. This new role is based in our Brooklyn office (with a flexible WFH arrangement) and will work with our global team focusing on global opportunities.

We're hyper-focused on helping top companies create the core digital products that drive them forward. To do this, you will work with cross-functional teams and the most senior leaders both internally and client-side to prioritize and manage multiple tracks of work at any one time.
The manager must be passionate about digital products and their impact. You deeply understand and know how to fluently communicate how our distinct approach to digital product design and development can transform a client's business both in writing and in-person. You bring to meetings a solid understanding of our unique offering in the market, along with our processes and workflow, enabling you to strategically vet and respond to inbound inquiries. In addition, you always have an eye on new opportunities and areas where our capabilities can create a positive impact.
