<p dir="ltr">Galactic Fed</p> <p dir="ltr">Business Development Manager</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">Job Type: Full-Time</p> <p dir="ltr">Location: Fully Remote - preferably Canada, the Caribbean, or South America; open to candidates willing to work US EST hours</p> <p dir="ltr">Work Schedule: Must overlap with New York business hours (9am–5pm EST). We're async-friendly, but this role is client-facing.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">About Galactic Fed</p> <p dir="ltr">Every decision we make for our clients is backed by data, research, and industry best practices. We follow every Google algorithm update, track every paid social trend, and stay close to every shift in the AI search landscape so our clients don't have to.</p> <p dir="ltr">We've helped companies of all sizes grow - from Fortune 50 brands to early-stage VC-backed startups. Growth marketing may not be rocket science, but we still get pretty excited every time a new campaign lifts off.</p> <p dir="ltr">Our services span paid media (Google, Meta, LinkedIn), SEO, CRO, creative, email marketing, and AI search. Our clients are typically CMOs, Marketing Directors, and Growth leaders at companies spending $5K or more per month on digital marketing - primarily in SaaS, fintech, e-commerce, health and wellness, and the talent economy.</p> <p dir="ltr">Our values:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Futuristic</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Mathematical and growth-oriented</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Radically honest and approachable</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Hyper-focused in our zone of genius</p> </li> </ul> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">About the Role</p> <p dir="ltr">You will own the end-to-end sales process - from first touch to signed contract - for a book of inbound and outbound leads we generate through multiple channels, including our ABM platform, agency matching marketplaces, a steady stream of referrals, and cold outbound efforts.</p> <p dir="ltr">Our sales process is consultative and data-driven. After a discovery call, you will present a custom audit (SEO, AI Search, Email, CRO, Paid Media, or a mix) to your prospect that paints a clear picture of where they are, where they could be, and how Galactic Fed gets them there. You will need to understand the substance of those audits well enough to customize them, present them with confidence, and field sharp questions from VP-level and C-suite buyers. The audit is our biggest competitive advantage in the sales process - and our best BDMs treat it that way.</p> <p dir="ltr">The average deal cycle is four to five weeks. You will manage roughly 15 to 20 qualified opportunities at a time in HubSpot, track every interaction, and maintain a disciplined pipeline. A steady amount of leads are provided - you are not expected to be a full-time prospector - but there will be periods where you need to build pipeline yourself through warm outreach and re-engagement of past prospects.</p> <p dir="ltr">This is not an account management role. Once a client is onboarded, they move to our Client Success team. Your job is to close.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Responsibilities</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Run the full sales cycle from first call through signed contract: discovery, audit presentation, negotiation, and close</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Present free, customized audits (AI Search, PPC, Email, CRO, Social) to qualified prospects and use them as the foundation for the sales conversation</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Manage your pipeline rigorously in HubSpot - deal stages, next steps, close dates, and contact information must always be current</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Qualify inbound leads and determine fit based on budget ($5K+/month minimum), decision-making authority, and marketing maturity</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Self-generate pipeline when needed through warm outreach, re-engagement of closed-lost leads, and referrals</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Collaborate with our Client Success and channel specialist teams on upsell and renewal opportunities for existing clients</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Stay current on Galactic Fed's service offerings, pricing, and evolving capabilities - especially as we grow our AI Search practice</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Hit monthly, quarterly, and annual revenue targets</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Contribute feedback from the field to help improve our lead quality, audit process, and sales collateral</p> </li> </ul> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Requirements</p> <p dir="ltr">Must-haves:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">4+ years of B2B sales experience, with a proven track record of carrying and hitting a monthly quota</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Direct experience with growth or performance digital marketing - either selling it (agency or SaaS) or managing it (as an account manager or in-house marketer).
