Job description

The Audio Business Division of Electro-Voice Dynacord LLC is headquartered in Burnsville, Minnesota. Our product segments include Critical Communications Systems, Pro Sound, and Public Address & Conferencing. With our premium brands: Dynacord, Electro-Voice, RTS and Telex, we are committed to delivering innovative solutions that shape the future of sound.

At KEENFINITY, we are a globally leading provider of innovative and professional security and communication solutions. With over 4,200 employees in over 50 countries worldwide, our ambition is clear: we offer more than just technology - we secure, connect, and amplify the moments that matter in life.

Next to our passion for technology we’re very passionate about our work environment. Based on values such as trust, appreciation, and accountability we all work together to shape the future - boldly, customer-focused and with a strong team spirit.

Job Description

This is not a Sales Job. It is a Growth Mission! This role asks you to not just sell but build markets. You will not inherit a territory; you will own the responsibility for creating one!

We are expanding into entirely new markets for Public Address and we're looking for Business Development Managers who are willing to challenge conventional thinking and redefine how business gets done. You will identify untapped industries, create demand from the ground up, and introduce world-class audio solutions into markets such as golf & leisure, hybrid workplaces, higher education, healthcare, hospitality, smart buildings, and emerging commercial environments.

We are looking for relentless competitors who are energized by the challenge of creating opportunities where none exist. People who thrive while facing adversity, who see obstacles as puzzles to solve, and who refuse to accept average results. This is not a role for someone who simply wants to hit quotas. This is for someone who wants to build something meaningful, earn without limits, and leave a lasting impact on a growing company.

Qualified candidates must be located near a major metro airport for frequent (up to 50%) travel as needed.

About the Opportunity - What You’ll Do!

Build Markets from Scratch!

Find opportunities others overlook. Open doors that have never been opened. Develop new verticals and establish our presence where competitors are not winning today.

Sell Complete Solutions!

Understand customer challenges and position integrated professional audio solutions that deliver measurable business outcomes. This is not transactional selling - it is solution selling!

Challenge the Status Quo!

We are not looking for someone who simply follows our playbook. We are looking for someone who will challenge it, bring new ideas, and experiment with new outreach strategies.

Build Relationships That Create Momentum

Become the trusted resource customers call first. Develop executive-level relationships with consultants, architects, AV integrators, IT leaders, influencers, designers, and end users.

Own Your Pipeline

Prospect relentlessly. Generate demand and create opportunities. Navigate complex sales cycles and close new business.

Help Shape the Future

The insights you bring from the field will directly influence our products, go-to-market strategy, and expansion into new industries.

Who Thrives Here? This role is built for people who:

Top candidate will enjoy solving complex business problems and selling complete solutions. You will connect technologies, stakeholders, and business outcomes into one compelling conversation, have relentless energy every day and are fiercely competitive and genuinely want to outperform!

• Ability to learn complex technical solutions and communicate business value.
