About the role

Business Development Manager About AFIMAC and the role: AFIMAC helps manufacturers and industrial operations keep running and keep growing. When workforce capacity puts production, a customer commitment, or a growth plan at risk, we source, mobilize, and support a travel-ready workforce, handling travel, housing, and payroll, so our customers get productive people on site fast without adding permanent headcount. Whether the need is immediate, ongoing, or planned, we scale up when customers need us and back down when they don't. We're building a new-business team and are hiring hunters. This is not a book-of-business role. You'll open doors at mid-market plants, find operations leaders facing an urgent labor gap (an expansion, a backlog, a seasonal peak, a new line startup), and turn first deployments into long-term, recurring partnerships. You'll get a defined target account list, a proven playbook, ROI tools, and hands-on weekly coaching.
What you'll do:
  • Prospect every day. Work a list of target accounts in manufacturing, food and beverage, packaging, metals, and heavy equipment through calls, email, LinkedIn, and in-person visits.
  • Reach the right buyer. Get to plant managers, operations leaders, and HR leaders who own the labor problem, not just procurement.
  • Run value-based discovery. Uncover the cost of open roles, overtime, missed shipments, and delayed hiring, and quantify ROI.Own the sales cycle. Move opportunities from first meeting to proposal to deployment, with a clear next step on every deal.
  • Respond fast. Follow up on inbound and marketing-generated leads within our speed-to-lead standards.
  • Grow what you win. Turn first deployments into repeat, seasonal, and multi-year agreements.
  • Partner with Operations. Work with our operations and recruiting teams to scope each job and set the customer up for a smooth start.
  • Keep the CRM clean. Log activity, opportunities, and next steps in Microsoft Dynamics so your pipeline is accurate every week.
  • Required2–5 years in outbound B2B sales or business development, with numbers to show for it (activity, pipeline, closed revenue)
  • Comfortable making 100+ prospecting touches a week and picking up the phone to people who didn't ask to hear from you
  • Coachable: you want feedback, try new approaches, and track your own progress
  • Clear, confident communicator by phone, email, and in person
  • Organized and self-directed with disciplined CRM habits
  • Willing to travel to customer sites and industry events
  • PreferredExperience selling services into manufacturing, industrial, or logistics operations
  • Experience with value-based selling or MEDDPICCMicrosoft Dynamics or similar CRM experience
  • Bachelor's degree, or equivalent sales experience

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
