Business Development Manager – Laser Technology (photonics sales exp. req.) Description 

Our client is seeking a Remote Business Development Manager to join their US team. They’ve built a strong reputation for reliability and strategic execution across key markets, and their forward-thinking approach has fueled consistent year-over-year growth. This role will play a critical part in further expanding their market presence. The position is heavily focused on new business development, with most of your time dedicated to acquiring new logos. Deal cycles can range from a few months to several years, with average deal sizes exceeding $100K. You’ll be responsible for prospecting to engineering and procurement teams, as well as executive leadership. The ideal candidate brings full-cycle sales experience within semiconductor lasers or photonic components, along with a proven track record in lead generation, consultative selling, and long-term relationship management. This is an individual contributor role with a clear path to Head of Sales within a few years. While this may not be the right fit for someone seeking a primarily account management-focused position, it’s an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in an entrepreneurial environment and is looking for more than a traditional commission-driven role. In addition to strong earning potential, the position offers meaningful upside, including eligibility for stock options after your first year.
