National Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager | Compliance Search

Fully Remote | Eastern & Central Time Zones | Permanent Placement

Madison Davis is expanding its Compliance Search practice, and we're looking for an experienced Business Development professional who wants to play a significant role in that growth.

This is an opportunity to join an established staffing firm with a strong presence in financial services, banking, and regulatory compliance. We're seeking someone who enjoys developing new business, building lasting client relationships, and creating opportunities within the Compliance market.

You'll have the autonomy to develop and grow your own client portfolio while leveraging an established recruiting team, existing client relationships, and leadership committed to investing in the continued expansion of our Compliance practice.

For someone with a strong track record in business development, this opportunity offers more than individual production. As your business grows, there is an opportunity to build a team around your client relationships and take on a larger role in developing the practice.

This position is fully remote and open to candidates located anywhere within the Eastern or Central Time Zones.

The Opportunity

As a Business Development Manager, you'll focus on generating new business and expanding client relationships within Compliance Search, primarily supporting permanent placement hiring across financial services and related industries.

This is a business development focused position, with dedicated recruiting support to manage candidate sourcing and delivery. Your primary responsibility will be developing client relationships, securing new search opportunities, and building a sustainable book of business.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify, develop, and secure new client relationships within the Compliance and Regulatory Search market.
• Build relationships with Chief Compliance Officers, Heads of Compliance, and other senior decision-makers across financial services.
• Leverage existing industry relationships while strategically developing new accounts and business opportunities.
• Generate permanent placement search opportunities across regulatory compliance, financial crimes, AML/BSA, KYC, surveillance, and broader compliance functions.
• Partner with experienced recruiters to deliver high-quality talent and maintain strong client relationships throughout the search process.
• Expand existing accounts through repeat business, additional hiring relationships, and broader service offerings.
• Collaborate with senior leadership on market opportunities, client development, and long-term growth initiatives.
• As the business expands, participate in building and developing additional recruiting and business development resources to support your client portfolio.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of business development experience within professional staffing, executive search, or permanent placement recruiting.
• Experience developing business within Compliance, Regulatory, Financial Crimes, Risk, or related financial services disciplines.
• A demonstrated track record of generating new client relationships, securing search assignments, and growing accounts.
• An established professional network and a strong understanding of how to develop business within financial services.
• Excellent communication, relationship management, and negotiation skills.
• An entrepreneurial mindset with the motivation to build a substantial book of business.
• The ability to operate independently in a remote environment while collaborating closely with recruiting teams and leadership.
