Our Sales Team is expanding! We're looking for a true hunter to leverage their past sales experience in the BPO industry in a Vice President, Business Development role. We need someone who is:

• Excited about selling a gig model
• Skilled in creative solutioning
• Not intimidated by a challenge
• Naturally entrepreneurial

What you will take on:

• Identify target customers for rapid expansion of the vertical on your own initiative, from company leads, and via the company’s channel and alliance partners.
• Capably articulate the Arise outsource offering including the core crowdsourcing solution.
• Exceed annual sales quotas in the vertical by closing long-term, multi-year $5m -$10m contracts.
• Take ownership of deal flow from inception of lead, to development of pricing, management of contract negotiations, and attention to implementation. Be ambitious, assertive and adept at navigating hurdles that present themselves in managing a deal to closure.
• Take a strategic view of the customer’s set of business issues and consult with each of them broadly on both current and future opportunities for an Arise engagement.
• Be a forward-thinking executive who will proactively advise Arise on new services to expand the opportunities for a successful client engagement.

Our new team member will need:

• A proven, seasoned and strategic business development executive who has demonstrated substantial success developing new business relationships with C-Level decision-makers.
• Minimum of 7 years of experience in complex, consultative sales roles on large, multi-year outsourcing deals with initial contract value of $5m - $10m +
• Comfortable with rolling his or her sleeves up to perform his or her own lead generation activities, ranging from leveraging his or her own network to sell into, conducting cold calls and working with the marketing team to develop vertical specific marketing campaigns, vertical specific collateral, and thought leadership content.
• Evidence of confidence and competence in constructing multi-million dollar complex deals, from solutioning, to leading the internal Arise team through the sales process, to developing pricing and financials, and finally to closing the deal and navigating the process to get to signature.
• Comfortable with “owning the content” - understanding the Arise offering and demonstrating capability in articulating concepts like the value proposition and total cost of ownership.
• Evidence of prior innovation and creativity in developing new product or service offerings that customers have purchased – especially if that offering was totally new to the company you represented.
• Understanding and passion for a service business model rather than a product model or an IT centric model.

• Evidence of ability to thrive under pressure and ambiguity.
