ABOUT THE ROLE

BlueVine is looking to hire a driven and experienced Senior Business Development Manager to source, develop and launch new strategic partnerships for the company. Partners are a key driver of Bluevine’s go-to-market success story; our partners promote and sell BlueVine’s banking and financing options to small business owners around the country. This is a high-impact role, ideally suited for entrepreneurial dealmakers who understand how to define, sell and close strategic partnerships because they’ve done it before. Delivering impact in this role requires creativity, superb communication skills, detail orientation, deep strategic & commercial instincts, and the strong internal motivation needed to conduct sustained outreach to C-level executives at high-potential partners through warm and cold outreach. The ideal candidate is a rockstar at getting deals initiated and closed, and just as effective at overseeing the successful implementation & launch of their partnership.

This is not a fully remote role. At BlueVine, we pride ourselves on our collaborative culture, which we believe is best maintained through in-person interactions and a vibrant office environment.  All of our offices will reopen in accordance with local guidelines, and will follow a hybrid model.
