About the Role:

We’re looking for a Business Development Lead to help shape one of FluentStream’s most important growth opportunities: building relationships with wholesale partners and winning high-growth, multi-location customers. This is a high-impact role for a strategic, entrepreneurial sales professional who enjoys creating opportunities from the ground up, developing new markets, and closing meaningful deals.

In this role, you’ll own a focused portfolio of wholesale partner prospects and multi-location organizations across industries including franchise networks, restaurant groups, property management, and assisted living. You’ll have the autonomy to build your approach, influence messaging and strategy, and create a repeatable growth motion that can scale well beyond your individual efforts.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the full wholesale partner acquisition cycle, from identifying and qualifying prospects to negotiating and closing partnerships with the capacity to drive 500+ seats
• Drive multi-location enterprise wins across franchise networks, restaurant groups, property management, assisted living, and similar verticals, managing complex, multi-stakeholder deals from first contact through signed agreement
• Build, refine, and document the acquisition-style sales process for wholesale and large multi-location prospects, creating a repeatable motion that scales beyond this role
• Develop and execute a structured outbound motion across cold outreach, email campaigns, social, events, and referrals, with the discipline to prioritize ruthlessly and the creativity to break through in competitive accounts
• Lead high-stakes consultative discovery and executive-level solution conversations, earning credibility with senior decision-makers across IT, Operations, and Finance at complex organizations
• Shape and influence outbound campaign strategy with Marketing, providing field intelligence on messaging, targeting, and content that drives response from wholesale and multi-location prospects
• Drive cross-functional alignment with Sales Leadership and Product on deal strategy, enablement materials, and onboarding plans for wholesale partners and large prospects, serving as the subject matter expert on this segment
• Leverage AI tools throughout the sales workflow, including account research, target list building, personalized outreach, meeting prep, and deal intelligence, to accelerate pipeline creation and improve deal quality
• Maintain accurate opportunity tracking, pipeline hygiene, and reliable forecasts in Salesforce
• Represent FluentStream at industry events, franchise shows, and partner conferences
• Translate field learnings into actionable insights for Product, Marketing, and Channel teams, actively contributing to the evolution of our wholesale and multi-location go-to-market strategy

Experience We’re Looking For:

• 7+ years of experience in business development, channel sales, enterprise sales, or strategic account acquisition, with a consistent track record of meeting or exceeding revenue targets
• Deep experience selling UCaaS, telecom, SaaS, or related technology solutions, with the ability to engage credibly with both technical and business stakeholders
• Demonstrated success recruiting, negotiating, and activating wholesale, white-label, or strategic partners, with an understanding of what drives long-term partnership success.
• Proven ability to win and expand business within multi-location organizations, including franchise networks, restaurant groups, property management companies, assisted living organizations, retail chains, or similar structures.
• Extensive experience managing complex, long-cycle sales opportunities, with the discipline to build high-quality pipeline and the persistence to drive large, multi-stakeholder deals to completion.
• Experience building and executing acquisition-style outbound sales motions, including target account selection, prioritization, prospecting, and multi-channel outreach.
• Executive presence and strong consultative selling skills, with a demonstrated ability to establish credibility quickly and build trust with senior decision-makers across Operations, IT, Finance, and executive leadership teams.
• A builder's mindset with the ability to operate independently in a high-growth environment, shape strategy, create repeatable processes, and execute with minimal oversight.
• Strong organizational, project management, and prioritization skills, with a reputation for being resourceful, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple initiatives simultaneously.
• Collaborative and influential approach to working cross-functionally, with the ability to align stakeholders, contribute strategic insights, and drive outcomes without direct authority.
• Hands-on experience leveraging AI-powered tools for prospecting, account research, personalization, sales intelligence, content creation, and workflow automation, with a clear point of view on how AI can accelerate pipeline generation and sales productivity.
• Proficiency with Salesforce CRM and modern sales engagement platforms such as Apollo or similar tools.
• Ability to travel up to 25% for prospect meetings, partner engagements, and industry events.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience is preferred.
