Business Development Manager - Electromechanical Components

We are partnering with a client that designs and builds electro-mechanical components for device and machinery makers around the globe, and we are looking for a Business Development Manager to take the reins of their US subsidiary. Although the parent company calls Switzerland home, its reach extends well beyond, across numerous international markets. The American arm opened its doors in 2009 and has outpaced typical market growth ever since, with an ongoing flow of inventive products that occupy distinctive niches keeping the door open to considerable further gains.

The person selected will own the US operation outright. That means growing commercial sales across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, keeping daily operations running smoothly, answering for the numbers, and leading a small, dedicated team of three.
