Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager

The Business Development Manager is responsible for generating new revenue by owning face-to-face selling, account expansion, and competitive displacement within an assigned market. This role is focused on developing relationships that convert into active work, expanding share within existing accounts, and opening white space with new customers and referral sources.

The BDM operates primarily in the field and is expected to spend the majority of time in in-person meetings with customers, referral partners, and decision-makers. Each BDM owns the quality, depth, and conversion of relationships across priority segments into sustained revenue.

Success in this role requires discipline, follow-through, and the ability to sell ATI's capabilities in a way that aligns with operational realities. The BDM is accountable for building a durable book of business, not just generating activity. This role partners closely with Operations, Estimating, and Regional Sales leadership to ensure opportunities pursued can be executed and collected.
