We are looking for a driven, outgoing, and relationship-focused Business Developer to help us grow throughout the Tualatin, Wilsonville and surrounding areas. We're searching for someone who thrives on meeting new people, enjoys the challenge of building relationships, and isn't afraid to pick up the phone, knock on doors, and create new partnerships.

This isn't a sit-behind-a-desk sales job.

You’ll be out in the community, meeting decision-makers, learning about local businesses, and showing them how Express can solve their workforce challenges. Every new client you bring on creates opportunities for job seekers and helps businesses reach their goals. That's a pretty rewarding way to spend your day.

What You'll Be Doing

Build New Business

• Connect with business leaders and decision-makers throughout your territory.
• Generate new partnerships and secure at least two new client accounts each week.
• Introduce companies to Express Employment Professionals and our workforce solutions.
• Develop and manage a strong pipeline of prospects.

Be the Face of Express

• Conduct a mix of phone outreach, networking, appointments, and in-person visits.
• Consult employers to understand their hiring challenges.
• Build long-term relationships based on trust and results.
• Represent Express at community and business events.

Deliver Solutions, Not Sales Pitches

• Take a consultative approach to uncover client needs.
• Present staffing, recruiting, and workforce solutions that help businesses succeed.
• Partner with our recruiting team to ensure clients receive exceptional service.
• Help create winning workforce strategies for local employers.

Stay Organized and Strategic

• Manage your territory like a business owner.
• Track activity and opportunities in our CRM system.
• Build and execute sales action plans for high-priority prospects.
• Maintain a consistent follow-up process that keeps opportunities moving forward.

We're Looking for Someone Who...

• Loves meeting new people
• Is naturally motivated and competitive
• Enjoys setting goals and crushing them
• Can communicate with confidence and authenticity
• Is a hunter who thinks like a problem solver and never gives up
• Can work independently while still being a great teammate
• Has previous sales, business development, account management, or customer-facing experience
• Believes that relationships are more important than transactions
• Wants a career with purpose, growth, and impact

You’ll join a team that celebrates wins, supports each other, and genuinely cares about helping businesses and job seekers thrive.

Base salary: $40k-$50k to start, plus commissions and a full benefits package.
