Business Development Manager - 5G Acceleration Lead

When you join Verizon

Verizon is one of the world’s leading providers of technology and communications services, transforming the way we connect across the globe. We’re a diverse network of people driven by our shared ambition to shape a better future. Here, we have the ability to learn and grow at the speed of technology, and the space to create within every role. Together, we are moving the world forward – and you can too. Dream it. Build it. Do it here.

What you’ll be doing...

We help our customers understand how our platform, network, and IoT (Internet of Things) solutions will help their businesses work better, faster, and be more secure-—and solve real business problems. This is where you come in. Your role will be to seek new or established businesses to join the sharing market and to bring together the right public and private organizations to partner on our IoT Share Solutions platform to build a strong ecosystem for customers—and cement our position as the market leader. Working with internal teams from sales to legal, finance and IT, you’ll anticipate critical gaps and future needs and make the right business and technology connections to offer the best integrated solutions. Ultimately, you will build innovative ways for people, businesses, and things to stay connected.

• Maintaining internal and external partner alignment and crafting commonalities to support platform and service integration.
• Developing strategic relationships with business partners, like OEMs, to build out our offerings and drive growth.
• Understanding the asset management needs of public and private organizations.
• Encouraging solutions in new business pitches and demonstrations in the marketplace to expand awareness and build momentum.
• Planning and forecasting, preparing budgets, identifying metrics, and evaluating performance.
• Identifying, developing and implementing new business opportunities, solutions, and go-to-market strategies to address market needs.

What we’re looking for...

You give “business development” a whole new meaning. Market trends, lead generation, critical thinking, analytical attitude, technical savvy, customer presentations—you do it all with poise, confidence, and style. You bring the widest perspective to issues and think of aspects that others have missed. Revenue goals and business outcomes motivate you, but you’re also attuned to building close relationships with others—a combination that earns you respect and trust alike. A thirst for knowledge means that you’re a constant learner, and keeping up with everything Internet of Things is no problem. You envision the large and complex, but make it easy for others to understand.

You’ll need to have:

• Six or more years of relevant work experience.
• Bachelor’s degree or four or more years of work experience.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

• Experience selling and managing large, complex engagements and projects with multiple partners. Ideally, including c-suite.
• Experience with wireless industry, IoT solutions, M2M technology and OS platforms.
• Experience marketing or selling complex technical solutions.
• MBA or advanced degree in business or engineering.
• Experience forging partner relationships and agreements.
• Executive presence and influence skills.

If Verizon and this role sound like a fit for you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every “even better” qualification listed above.

In this hybrid role, you'll have a defined work location that includes work from home and assigned office days set by your manager.
