Join Our Growing Houston Team

Entrusted is hiring a Business Development Apprentice to learn the art of relationship-based sales and marketing the "Entrusted Way." Based in the greater Houston area - Spring, Tomball, Pearland, Missouri City, Katy, and Cypress - you'll work alongside experienced Business Development Representatives, building the habits, confidence, and partner relationships needed to grow into a full BDR role within 1 to 2 years. This is a development seat, not a sales quota seat, built for someone who wants to learn the craft the right way before running their own book of business.

Responsibilities

• Support Business Development Representatives and Account Managers in maintaining and growing partner relationships
• Participate in meetings, ride-alongs, networking events, and field visits to learn the business development process firsthand
• Conduct consistent outreach and follow-up with referral partners and prospective accounts
• Learn partner pain points, priorities, and goals to help identify valuable solutions
• Support with marketing initiatives, relationship touchpoints, and account management tasks
• Maintain accurate notes, follow-up activities, and partner communication within company systems
• Work cross-functionally with Operations, Marketing, Sales, and branch leadership to support the partner experience

Qualifications

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• Coachable, humble, and eager to learn
• Comfortable building relationships and interacting with people in both office and field settings
• Organized, disciplined, and willing to develop consistent habits
• Previous experience in customer service, hospitality, sales, athletics, or another customer-facing environment preferred
• Motivated by long-term growth and development rather than immediate high earnings

What We Offer

• $50,000 - $60,560 annual salary
• 401(k), health/dental/vision, PTO, and paid holidays
• Company-paid access to Dave Ramsey's SmartDollar
• Gym reimbursement
• Hands-on mentorship, training, and exposure to relationship-driven business development
• Opportunity for long-term career growth within Entrusted
