ZT Labels is looking for a Business Development and Growth Specialist who sees opportunity and naturally asks:

How can we grow this business?
Who else could use our products?
How can we make it easier for customers to find us?
What opportunities are we missing?

If that sounds like you, this may be an opportunity to make a real impact.

About ZT Labels

ZT Labels is a division within the Zippertubing family of companies
, providing practical identification products for a wide range of industries and applications.

For more than 50 years, ZT Labels and the Zip Tape® Label I.D. System have provided systems and solutions for the identification and management of wire and cable. Our products support diverse markets, including wire and cable management, medical, cable ties, and other specialized identification needs.

As a smaller and growing business backed by an established company, we offer the best of both worlds:
Stability + the opportunity to help build and grow something.

Leadership is willing to invest in new equipment and capabilities when there is a strong opportunity to expand the business. We're looking for someone with ambition, ideas, and commercial mindset to help us identify those opportunities.

What You'll Do

This hands-on role combines business development, customer engagement, marketing strategy, and commercial problem-solving.

You'll help us:

• Identify new customers, industries, applications, and opportunities for growth.
• Develop strategies to generate leads, increase brand awareness, and grow revenue.
• Bring ideas and recommendations for improving our website, digital presence, and customer experience.
• Explore opportunities in SEO, digital marketing, email campaigns, Linked In outreach, direct marketing, and lead generation.
• Build relationships with prospective and existing customers through phone, email, virtual meetings, and in-person visits.
• Ask questions to understand customer applications and identify opportunities where ZT Labels products can provide value.
• Research markets, customer segments, and new applications for our products.
• Work closely with Operations and Production to ensure growth opportunities align with our capabilities.
• Gather customer and market insights and share recommendations with leadership.

You won't be expected to personally design or code a website or create every marketing asset. We're looking for someone who can bring ideas, help define priorities, and work with internal and external resources to turn opportunities into action.
