Business Development Associate – Co-Selling with CMO - Peterson Technology Partners

Job Description

Peterson Technology Partners (PTP) is a 27 year old IT staffing and Services firm. We are seeking a dynamic Business Development Associate to partner with our CMO, a C-level seller, to build an extraordinary sales team.

Position Summary

 This role is a unique opportunity for an ambitious and driven sales professional. As a Business Development Associate, you will work directly with our CMO, who brings enterprise CIO credentials to the sales process. Together, you’ll develop enterprise and Fortune 500 accounts through a full-cycle sales approach, combining strategic leadership with tactical execution.

 This position is ideal for an experienced and competitive sales professional with a hunter mindset, ready to seize a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Key Responsibilities

• Team Selling: Partner with the CMO to build and manage the sales pipeline from prospecting to closing deals.

• Lead Generation: Conduct outbound prospecting activities, including calls, emails, and networking, to uncover new opportunities within enterprise and Fortune 500 companies.

• Sales Cycle Management: Handle discovery meetings, deal development, and sales administration to optimize the CMO’s focus on high-impact activities.

• Relationship Building: Cultivate relationships with key decision-makers in the Chicagoland IT market.

• Collaboration: Work seamlessly with the CMO to ensure alignment in strategies and execution.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree (all majors considered); online degrees are accepted. Demonstrated leadership or teamwork during college is a plus.

Experience:

• Minimum 4 years of enterprise IT sales experience at the BDR or AE level.

• Proven track record of outbound selling and achieving measurable results.

• Background in IT staffing/augmentation is a plus but not required.

Skills:

• Strong verbal and written communication skills.

• Exceptional organizational and time-management skills.

• Ability to thrive in a team environment while demonstrating confidence and humility.

Mindset:

• Hunter Mentality: Self-motivated, driven, and competitive.

• Passion for outbound prospecting and proactive sales strategies.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• C-Level Mentorship: Collaborate closely with a seasoned CMO who operates directly with CIOs of enterprise companies.

• Professional Growth: Accelerate your career by gaining unparalleled exposure and connections in Chicago’s IT landscape.

• Pre-Qualified Accounts: Work with clients already under MSA, providing a strong foundation to develop relationships.

• Supportive Leadership: Report to a Chief Strategy Officer renowned for prioritizing employee success and growth.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Salary: Starting at $65,000/year + Commission + Bonus

• Benefits: Comprehensive benefits package, training, and mentorship opportunities.
