Strategic Business Development Manager

Apex42 helps corporate real estate and workplace leaders manage space portfolios, improve data accuracy and governance, and make better business decisions.

Building on decades of industry expertise, we're launching the next generation of our platform, which connects trusted spatial data with the systems that power modern workplaces.

 

We're looking for a curious, solution-minded seller who opens doors by teaching prospects something new.

You'll engage organizations before they have a formal requirement, help them see portfolio and workplace challenges they haven't fully defined, and build the case for change with credibility at the executive level.

 

This is a role for someone who creates opportunities rather than waiting for them.

You'll decide whom to engage, when, and how, with the support of a lean, experienced team and clear target markets.

 

How we sell: We use an Account-Based Experience (ABX) approach combined with signal- and trigger-based prospecting.

You'll focus on a defined set of target accounts, watch for the business signals and events that create urgency, and engage the buying committee at the right moment.

Our deals involve multiple stakeholders and long buying cycles, so the goal is opportunities with real potential, not just booked meetings.

 

You'll partner with our Strategic Growth leader on demos, proposals, negotiations, and closing.

As your product expertise grows, you'll take on more of the full sales cycle.

* A solution-driven hunter: You're comfortable starting conversations, persistent through rejection, and energized by creating something from nothing.
