As a Business Development Associate, you will report to the Director of Commercial Operations and drive growth by generating, qualifying, and nurturing top-of-funnel opportunities. Your responsibilities include researching target market accounts and identifying qualified contacts, coordinating cold outreach efforts with marketing and sales teams, following up on inbound leads from campaigns and web inquiries, and securing initial commercial meetings through cold calls and personalized emails. You will attend select industry events and trade shows to generate leads and build prospect relationships, maintain accurate prospect and customer data in Salesforce CRM, and monitor marketing lead queues to evaluate commercial viability while surfacing operational inefficiencies.
