Self-motivated hunters who are energized by building a pipeline from scratch.
People who value relationships and their role as a trusted advisor
Strong communicators looking to represent a growing brand within their local business community.
Who We Are:
We are a passionate team serving privately held, entrepreneurial businesses across the U.S. Our domains span property management, real estate, data management, professional services, non-profits, and more.

As a Market Development Manager, you'll be ALC's ambassador within an assigned geographic market — building the firm's presence, reputation, and referral ecosystem through strategic networking, chamber and community engagement, and referral partner development. This role begins as a pure hunting position focused on market development and opportunity creation. As you demonstrate proficiency, you'll be trained to take on discovery calls, scoping engagements, and proposal development — eventually managing opportunities through the full sales cycle. Reporting to the Director of Revenue Operations & Business Development, you'll establish trusted relationships that expand ALC's visibility, credibility, and long-term pipeline.
What We're Looking For:
3+ years of experience in business development, sales, or networking-based relationship building.
A proven track record of building and growing a professional network, ideally within a local or regional business community.
Comfort and energy around consistent, high-volume relationship-building activity — networking events, chamber functions, community involvement.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills; you build rapport and trust quickly.
Self-motivated and activity-driven; you thrive being measured against clear production targets.
Experience in professional services, accounting, finance, or a related B2B environment a plus.
An existing network or ties within ALC's target market(s) a plus.
Key Responsibilities:
Serve as ALC's primary representative within an assigned geographic market, building long-term visibility, credibility, and relationships that position ALC as a trusted accounting, finance, and HR partner.
Build, expand, and maintain an active, high-value network of contacts, connectors, and centers of influence that consistently generates qualified opportunities.
Represent ALC at chamber events, industry associations, conferences, and community functions; pursue committee participation, leadership opportunities, and speaking engagements.
Identify, build, and manage a strategic referral ecosystem of attorneys, bankers, wealth advisors, consultants, private equity professionals, insurance advisors, payroll providers, technology partners, and other trusted advisors.
Provide ongoing feedback to leadership on market trends, competitor activity, pricing observations, and prospective client needs.
Convert networking and referral activity into qualified opportunities, transitioning them to the Director with complete prospect context — progressively taking on discovery, scoping, proposal development, and client acquisition as proficiency grows.
Log networking activity, contacts, and referral relationships in the CRM consistently and accurately.
The Successful Candidate:
Has extremely strong relationship-building instincts and genuinely enjoys the hustle of networking
Is persistent, professional, and consistent in daily prospecting and outreach activity
Builds authentic, trust-based relationships that reflect ALC's culture and values
Is comfortable being measured against clear production and activity targets
Takes ownership of opportunities and follows them through to a well-qualified handoff
Is disciplined about CRM and activity logging
Has a can-do attitude coupled with a love of teamwork and collaboration
Requirements
3+ years of experience in business development, sales, or networking-based relationship building
Proven track record of building and growing a professional network
Experience in professional services, accounting, finance, or a related B2B environment a plus
Existing network or ties within ALC's target market(s) a plus
Benefits
Flexibility to build your day around networking events and community engagements, backed by a "Work Wherever" remote-first team
Comprehensive benefits including health and dental insurance
Flexible vacation and a company close at the end of the year!
401k match
Uncapped earning potential — base salary plus commission that grows as you build your book of business
Fun, friendly, and collaborative culture that thrives on individual and team accountability
Targeted base range for this role is $75,000 - $90,000 annually + commission.
