Vice President of Business Development (, MN, United States)

We're partnering with a leading developer and manufacturer of branded and private-label prestige beauty products to appoint a Vice President of Business Development to own commercial growth across the business. The organisation is a full-service partner taking products from concept to shelf, for some of the world's most recognised brands, established retailers and fast-scaling indie names alike.

The Role

Reporting into senior leadership, you will set and execute the commercial strategy for winning and growing brand partnerships across multiple market segments. You will:

• Own the full sales cycle, targeting and qualifying prestige, retailer and indie brand accounts through to contract negotiation and long-term account growth.
• Build and manage a high-value pipeline, translating brand briefs into feasible, competitively-priced programmes.
• Work hand-in-glove with R&D, formulation and product development to align client requirements with internal capability.
• Be the commercial face of the business.
• Shape pricing, positioning and go-to-market strategy.

What we’re looking for

• A proven commercial leader with experience within CDMO/CMO, with a track record of landing and growing brand accounts.
• A consultative dealmaker who sells capability and partnership, not just capacity.
• A strong brand-side network and the gravitas to operate at founder and C-Suite level.

With a distinctive platform, and the mandate and backing to grow it, this is a rare change to shape the growth story rather than inherit one. If you are interested in learning more, apply below.
