🚀 Build. Hunt. Win. Scale.


If you thrive on opening doors, solving complex problems, and turning first wins into long-term partnerships, this role was built for you.


Promera is a private-equity-backed, national provider of mission-critical data center and critical environment lifecycle services. With more than 45 years in business, 13 branch offices, ISO 9001 & 14001 certifications, and an NPS consistently in the 90s, Promera is trusted inside some of the most demanding, high-risk operating environments in the world.


These are technical, high-stakes services delivered inside live data center environments, where precision, reliability, and operational discipline matter.


The Opportunity

We’re hiring a hunter minded Business Development Manager to drive net-new logo acquisition and build durable client relationships across hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise data center markets.

You’ll own the front end of the sale ->creating demand, leading discovery, and designing solution-fit engagements ->then deliberately expanding those wins into multi-site and national programs.

You’ll work in close partnership with:

  • National Account Executives
  • Sales Engineering
  • Operations & Finance
  • Technical VPs and subject-matter experts

This is a consultative, high-autonomy role for someone who enjoys complexity, ambiguity, and winning where others can’t.


What You’ll Do

  • Own and execute a net-new business development strategy within your territory
  • Prospect, pursue, and close new logos across data center owners, operators, GC, and enterprise accounts
  • Lead discovery driven conversations to uncover operational risks, lifecycle gaps, and client priorities
  • Design tailored service solutions across: Pre-commissioning, Technical cleaning, Airflow analysis, Containment and Ongoing Managed Services (OMS)
  • Sell consultatively-aligning technical capabilities to real operational problems
  • Partner with National Account Executives to transition and scale accounts
  • Collaborate cross-functionally on solution design, pricing, and execution planning
  • Grow early wins into repeat work, multi-site programs, and national accounts
  • Maintain strong pipeline discipline, forecasting, and CRM hygiene
  • Consistently hit or exceed new-logo, pipeline, and revenue targets


What Success Looks Like (First 12 Months)

  • A healthy, qualified pipeline of net-new data center and critical environment accounts
  • Multiple new logos closed, with expanding project scope
  • Early conversion of select clients into ongoing lifecycle or managed services programs
  • Recognition as a trusted, value-driven, problem-solving sales partner—internally and externally
