Our client, a growing manufacturer of specialty adhesive materials, is seeking a Senior Business Development Executive to join its team in Hayward, California. This role is focused on driving top-of-funnel growth by prospecting new manufacturing customers, qualifying inbound leads, and re-engaging dormant CRM opportunities. This is an ideal opportunity for a true hunter who enjoys opening doors, building relationships with engineering, purchasing, and supply chain professionals, and creating a strong pipeline for the outside sales team—without the extensive travel typically associated with outside sales.

Working closely with the Engineering and Sales teams, you’ll identify customer needs, qualify opportunities, and transition them for technical development and closing. If you’re an industrial B2B sales professional looking for a highly autonomous role with strong earning potential, meaningful collaboration, and an excellent work-life balance, we’d love to hear from you.
