Job description

Business Development Manager | Columbus, OH | Hybrid | Requires travel

Company Description:

At Seibold+Baker, we're in the business of commercial furniture, but we're really in the business of relationships.

We're a multi-line manufacturers' rep group connecting commercial furniture solutions with the architects, designers and dealers who bring spaces to life. We represent leading manufacturers across six states, but our success comes down to something pretty simple: great products, strong partnerships and good people.

We're a close-knit team that believes in working hard, doing business with integrity and having a little fun along the way. We take our relationships seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously.

Role Description:

We're looking for an experienced, relationship-driven sales professional to join the Seibold+Baker team in Columbus, Ohio.

With a longtime team member retiring, this is a rare opportunity to step into an established, high-performing territory with strong industry relationships and plenty of room to grow.

As a Business Development Manager, you'll represent our portfolio of commercial furniture manufacturers, strengthen existing partnerships and develop new business opportunities throughout Columbus and the surrounding Central Ohio market.

What you'll do:

• Build and maintain relationships with furniture dealerships, architects and designers.


• Identify new business opportunities while growing existing accounts.


• Present products and solutions that meet clients' needs.


• Collaborate with manufacturer partners and fellow team members.


• Stay current on industry trends, product innovations and market opportunities.


• Attend industry events, client meetings and product presentations.

Qualifications

What we're looking for:

• Experience in sales, business development or account management, preferably in commercial furniture or a closely-related industry.


• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.


• A self-motivated, organized professional who can manage a territory independently.


• Someone who enjoys meeting people, solving problems and finding opportunities.


• A collaborative mindset and a commitment to integrity and exceptional service.


• Willingness to travel throughout the Central Ohio territory.


• Familiarity with the A&D community is a strong plus.

Why Seibold+Baker?

You'll join an established, successful team with a strong manufacturer portfolio, longstanding industry relationships and a culture that genuinely values its people. The job is flexible and every day is different -- the same, yet different.

We're looking for someone who will bring their own personality, expertise and energy to the team—and help us build on the success we've already created. You must be driven and self-motivated as the job is commission-based. Sound like you? We'd love to connect.
