Senior Business Development Jobs

This list tracks 100K+ company job sources and updates hourly with senior business development roles across partnerships, alliances, channel strategy, strategic accounts, and market expansion.

Openings can include business development managers and directors, partnership leaders, alliance managers, channel executives, strategic-account professionals, corporate-development teams, and commercial strategy roles. The work may involve sourcing partners, negotiating agreements, launching a channel, entering a market, developing major accounts, or evaluating transactions. Business development is not synonymous with direct sales: some roles own a revenue target and active pipeline, while others build ecosystems, structure long-term partnerships, or support corporate transactions. Compare the target market, partner type, deal cycle, internal product or delivery teams, and responsibility after an agreement is signed. A senior individual contributor may lead complex negotiations without direct reports; a director may also set strategy, manage a team, and represent the function to executives. Industry relationships can matter, but the posting should clarify whether an existing network is expected or whether the focus is analytical and executional.

Start by separating partnership, channel, corporate-development, and market-expansion work; company, location, compensation, or sponsorship filters can narrow each track. Check the original posting for revenue or pipeline ownership, target accounts, territory, deal size or complexity when described, travel, and management responsibility. Distinguish partnership development from account management, channel sales, corporate development, and market strategy so applications emphasize the right evidence. Where variable compensation is disclosed, separate salary from commission, target bonus, or equity and understand which results drive it. A portfolio of partnership or deal examples should explain your role in sourcing, negotiation, cross-functional approval, launch, and ongoing performance without sharing confidential terms. Compare roles on decision authority and post-deal accountability, not just title or employer. Reconfirm location, authorization, and current requirements at the source before applying.
