Job description
Business Development Manager
Are you a health professional considering a career change?
Are you motivated by performance, accountability, and the challenge of building something within a defined territory?
If you have a sports performance background — Exercise Physiologist, Sports Scientist, Strength & Conditioning, or similar — and are hungry to learn the craft of consultative field sales, this Business Development Manager (BDM) role at VALD may be the next step in your career.

About the VALD Business Development Manager Role
This is a FIELD SALES role with defined territory ownership.
While this position is considered “remote” in that VALD does not operate a local office in every territory, this is not an inside sales or work-from-anywhere role. Business Development Managers are expected to spend time in the field meeting clients, performing product demonstrations, and developing relationships across their assigned territory.
Location & Residency Requirements
Applicants must live within 60 Minutes of a major airport of the posted location associated with this role and able to travel around a 5-6 hour radius of where they live.
Candidates who do not currently live within the territory must be willing to relocate within 30 days of offer/start date.
Applications from candidates planning to relocate will be considered; however, priority is given to qualified candidates already residing within the territory or those who have a history/network within the assigned territory
No relocation reimbursement is offered.
About the VALD Business Development Team
The Business Development team are on the front line for VALD. As part of a truly global team, you will attend conferences and perform product demonstrations (both in-person and teleconferences) in clinical, performance, and tactical settings. You'll set up and oversee product trials, nurture new leads and look for new opportunities for VALD.
With an education-based approach to sales, as a Business Development Manager, you must have an intimate knowledge of VALD's systems. You'll leverage your industry expertise and product knowledge to demonstrate how our clients can get the most out of our systems to provide value to their business.
