The Role: You, the Business Development Manager of our dreams, are equally confident in your practitioner chops, emotional intelligence, and ability to close the right business. You’re a digital expert turned business strategy pro who believes in a value-driven sales approach. You use data to understand who you can help win, and illustrate that to prospective clients in a consultative, strategic manner. You don’t view yourself as a sales leader, but rather a problem solver— you believe achieving your revenue target is a byproduct of building strong relationships and helping folks solve the problems that keep them up at night.
 
You have a passion for crafting digital marketing strategies & solutions within search marketing. You know what it feels like to work with a great client and have what it takes to bring them to Seer. You are polished, curious, have a strong sense of business acumen and while your attention to detail can be intimidating, your clients seriously love you for it. Over your career you’ve gained knowledge in SEO, Paid Media, CRO, Creative, AI and Analytics.
 
Welcome to the Business Strategy team! Ready to drive new business?

Role Highlights
Lead Qualification & Consultative Discovery We have a pipeline of 600+ inbound leads annually, your job is to ask the right questions, get to the truth quickly, and be just as willing to disqualify a lead as you are to close it Run discovery calls with Fortune 500 marketing teams to understand their business challenges, channel mix, digital maturity, and what success actually looks like for them Strategy & Pitch Development Collaborate with divisional experts across SEO, Paid Media, Analytics, and Creative to build data-informed, channel-integrated growth strategies tailored to each prospect Lead pitch presentations and proposals for prospects up to the C-suite that show exactly how Seer can move the needle Negotiate and finalize contracts with legal guidance when deals are ready to close Pipeline & Client Handoff Manage the full process from first contact through client kick-off, ensuring every new partner is a strong values and capability fit before anything is signed Deliver a seamless handoff to account teams so every new client relationship starts on solid ground Thought Leadership & Community Contribute to the Seer blog, speak at industry events, and engage in professional communities to build Seer's brand and surface new business conversations organically

Essential Skills
You have practitioner experience in digital marketing. You understand how SEO, paid media, analytics, and other channels interact to drive business outcomes, not just how one channel works in isolation You are a natural relationship builder who has spent your career earning trust with clients or stakeholders, not a stranger to a high-stakes conversation You have experience presenting strategy to senior decision-makers and can translate complexity into clarity for a VP or CMO audience You are comfortable operating autonomously with a high-volume workload and bring structure and discipline to your own pipeline You are data-driven, you use numbers to qualify, build your case, and sharpen your approach over time You feel energized by the consultative side of client work, you want to solve real problems, not pitch from a script You are comfortable with ambiguity and can make good decisions with incomplete information You have experience working with AI tools to accelerate research, analysis, or strategy development and you're always looking for ways to work smarter Bonus! You have a background in Client Engagement, Account Management, or a client-facing strategy role and have been responsible for organic account growth You have experience in a digital agency environment where you've pitched or contributed to pitches for new clients You have familiarity with tools like Pipedrive, HubSpot, or LinkedIn Sales Navigator You have hands-on channel experience in more than one discipline (e.g., SEO + Paid, or Paid + Analytics)

This might not be the right role for you if
You thrive on cold outreach and commission-based incentives, this role is 90% inbound with a full salary and bonus, not a commission structure You specialize deeply in one digital marketing channel but haven't had to make the case for how channels work together You prefer to stay in execution mode and aren't energized by client-facing conversations or the business side of the work You need a highly defined playbook to follow: this role requires judgment, curiosity, and comfort with figuring things out in real time Saying "no" to a potential client feels like failure, here, disqualifying the wrong-fit lead is part of doing the job well
