Strategic Business Development Manager
Spectrum Safety Solutions
About Us Det-Tronics is a $200M global technology leader in industrial life safety solutions, specializing in high-end flame and gas detection and automation control systems. As part of Spectrum Safety Solutions, with 1,700 employees across more than 20 countries, we protect mission-critical facilities in oil & gas, LNG, petrochemical, marine, clean energy, mining, and industrial manufacturing. Backed by Sentinel Capital Partners, we're investing aggressively in growth and we're looking for someone who shares that mindset. The Opportunity This is not an account management role. We are looking for a true hunter ; someone who thrives on finding opportunities before the competition, opening doors with new customers, influencing project specifications, and winning business in highly competitive industrial markets. As our Business Development Manager, you'll identify and pursue major capital projects around the world, build relationships with EPCs, owners, operators, and consultants, and create opportunities that drive significant long-term revenue growth. You'll spend far more time developing new business than maintaining existing relationships. If you're energized by building pipelines, uncovering opportunities, and winning projects that others don't even know exist, we'd like to talk with you. What You'll Do Drive New Business Growth

- Develop and execute market penetration strategies that generate new revenue.
- Open new customer relationships across target industries and geographic markets.
- Build long-term relationships with EPCs, engineering firms, end users, consultants, and project owners.

- Support pricing and commercial strategy on strategic pursuits.
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Industrial Technology, or related field.

- Professional Growth: Career development programs, training opportunities, and tuition reimbursement
- Employee Support: Employee Assistance Program (EAP), wellness resources, and global mobility support
- Ownership Culture: Participation in our Ownership Program, empowering employees to share in our success
