Business Development Specialist

Marquee Staffing
Irvine, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 2/28/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 8/26/2026

Are you competitive, driven, and ready to build a real career in sales — not just land another job?


Marquee Staffing is a growing, high-performing staffing and workforce solutions company with a strong presence across Southern California. We’re hiring a Business Development Specialist for our Orange County team and looking for someone who is hungry to learn, built to compete, and excited to develop a book of business that’s truly their own. Whether you’re a sharp, competitive early-career professional ready to prove yourself, or an experienced seller looking for a platform that rewards your hustle — this is your role.


What You’ll Do

Drive New Business

  • Prospect and win new clients through cold outreach, networking, referrals, and using tools like LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, and Indeed
  • Build and execute your sales strategy to consistently hit and exceed revenue targets
  • Deliver compelling presentations and proposals that communicate the value of our staffing solutions
  • Negotiate pricing and agreements with confidence, aligning company standards and client needs


Grow and Retain Client Relationships

  • Build long-term partnerships through consultative, relationship-driven selling
  • Manage and expand assigned accounts with high-touch service and proactive communication
  • Collaborate with recruiting and operations teams to deliver exceptional client outcomes
  • Conduct site visits, service reviews, and safety evaluations as part of full-service account support


Who Thrives Here

What matters most is your drive, your character, and your ability to build trust with people. You might be:

  • A recent grad or early-career professional — ready and eager to channel that edge into a high-earning sales career
  • A sales professional with 2–5 years of experience looking for a company that will invest in your growth and reward your performance
  • Someone from hospitality or another client-facing field with a natural talent for building relationships, ready to make the move to B2B sales


In any case, you’re someone who:

  • Is motivated by results, recognition, and the opportunity to earn what you’re worth
  • Loves meeting new people and building genuine relationships
  • Takes ownership, holds yourself accountable, and doesn’t make excuses
  • Is coachable, curious, and committed to getting better every day
  • Wants a long-term career path — not just a paycheck


Qualifications

  • Sales, business development, or client-facing experience preferred
  • Demonstrated ability to hit goals, KPIs, or performance benchmarks
  • Strong communication, negotiation, and presentation skills
  • Self-starter mindset; able to work independently and as part of a team
  • Bachelor’s degree preferred
  • Professional presence and polished client-facing demeanor


Compensation & Growth

This is a role where your effort directly drives your income:

  • Salary: $60,000–$80,000 (this range reflects base pay only)
  • Year 1 Total Compensation: Approximately $75,000–$95,000 (base estimated commissions of ~$15,000)
  • Year 2 Total Compensation: $100,000 as your book of business grows
  • Commissions are fully uncapped — actual earnings will vary based on individual performance
  • Comprehensive Benefits: health, dental, and vision
  • Mileage reimbursement and business expense allowance
  • Structured onboarding, mentorship, and ongoing training
  • Clear path into senior sales, sales leadership, and revenue roles


The Environment

  • Based out of our Irvine office with regular time in the field across the Orange County territory
  • Fast-paced, performance-driven culture where wins are celebrated and growth is expected
  • Supportive leadership team invested in your long-term success
