Business Development Manager

Job Description Job Description About REV Copack REV Copack is a beverage co-packing and fulfillment partner built for speed. From our 124,000-square-foot facility in Pittston, PA, we handle secondary packaging, variety-pack assembly, kitting, and fulfillment for some of the fastest-growing brands in the beverage aisle, running up to 500,000 cases a month. Brands come to us to launch in club stores, scale wholesale, and move fast on Amazon. We're a startup, and we move like one. Things change fast, priorities shift, and the people who thrive here are the ones who take ownership, figure it out without a playbook, and would rather build the process than wait for one. If you do your best work in fast-moving environments and want a real hand in shaping what we become, we'd like to meet you. Job Summary We're hiring a remote Business Development Manager to drive net-new revenue as REV Copack scales. This is a full-cycle sales role: you'll help source pipeline, run discovery, partner with production on pricing, negotiate contracts, close new brand clients, and shepherd them through onboarding to their first successful production run.
