Senior Business Development Representative

Job Description

Job Description

Zephyr Connects | Remote

Build Relationships. Create Opportunities. Drive Growth.

Zephyr Connects helps growth-oriented businesses in the residential trades find exceptional people who fit both the position and the culture. We're looking for a Senior Business Development Representative who loves the hunt—opening doors, building relationships, and winning new business.

This is NOT an account management role. We're not looking for someone to manage existing accounts or wait for inbound leads. We need a proactive hunter who's equally comfortable cold calling a business owner, attending an industry event, and developing strategic partnerships that generate revenue for years.

About Zephyr Connects

We help growth-oriented businesses find exceptional people who fit both the position and the organization. We believe recruiting is about more than filling an open seat—it's about solving business problems through the right people.

Our culture is collaborative, entrepreneurial, accountable, flexible, and people-first. We work hard, care deeply, communicate openly, and believe exceptional results and a healthy life outside of work can coexist.
