*Preference will be given to candidates who can live and work in Central Ohio.
G2O is a customer experience transformation partner
We’re passionate about designing and delivering top-notch digital experiences for our clients — and their customers — and helping them create efficiencies using data and technology.
But what’s most important about us is that we get clients from goals to outcomes — and that’s where you come in.
As a Sr. Director of New Business Development, we’ll rely on you to have the exciting and important conversations with clients about the many ways we can collaborate with them to turn their business visions and customer goals into tangible outcomes.
You’ll be part of the team that plays a pivotal role in contributing to our success by acquiring new clients and establishing productive and value-driven relationships throughout their organizations.
You’ll provide strategic direction for our company and lead business development activities for G2O. And you’ll partner with our delivery teams to ensure our clients achieve their desired outcomes — and more.
Specifics about the role
We’ll be honest. You’re going to roll up your sleeves and work hard. But you’ll be rewarded by great compensation and the satisfaction of being part of a team that empowers you to be truly client-focused.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for uncovering and evaluating new client opportunities, and leveraging existing relationships that fit our strategic growth and development plans. Don’t worry — we’ll get you up to speed on those and we expect you to be able to hit the ground running, but we’ll also give you the support you need to succeed.
You’ll perform thorough research to develop and lead negotiations, serve as the main source of contact, and report to the CRO.
And we want you to take a leadership role in partnering with and coaching G2O employees to ensure that they completely understand our mission and vision and help motivate people to go above and beyond in everything they do to achieve client outcomes. Our brand, messaging, and culture are important to us, and we want you to become an ambassador for those to our teammates as well as our clients.
Most importantly, we want you to be as passionate about G2O as we are - vested and driven to become the best customer experience transformation shop in the market.
As one of the visible leaders of G2O, we’d also like you to be a subject matter expert and contribute to thought leadership opportunities by identifying industry trends and incorporating those into client work.
