Business Development Manager

Safety Management Group is seeking a Business Development Manager (BDM) to own and accelerate the growth of our VERO safety software business. This role requires both strategic go-to-market development and hands-on execution of complex mid-market sales cycles, including pipeline generation and sales support.

The BDM will operate in close coordination with SMG's Vice President of VERO and marketing team, helping to build and validate a scalable sales motion that will integrate into broader go-to-market coverage over time. This will require that the selected candidate learns the business, the software, and client challenges, then translating that insight into a clear, executable go-to-market strategy that consistently drives new revenue.

Experience in construction safety is a plus; however, the ability to quickly learn and translate complex offerings into compelling client value is essential. This is a unique opportunity to re-invent the sales process for a mature product with a proven value proposition. The BDM will represent a fully supported pre-qualification and data management software and service offering, backed by established enterprise clients and a long-tenured implementation and support team.

While a new go-to-market process and playbook is new and continuously improving, this role comes with a dedicated marketing budget, strong executive partnership, and meaningful influence over the future direction of the product. The BDM will partner closely with SMG leadership and the go-to-market organization to expand adoption of VERO with new and existing customers.
