Angi is seeking a Business Development Associate (BDA) to join the Enterprise Sales team. This is a crucial role that will lay a solid foundation for new business development in our vertical.

The ideal BDA candidate has a passion for seeking and developing new customer relationships and building a pipeline of qualified prospects. The Enterprise team seeks a hard-working, results-driven individual who understands the metrics of an enterprise partnership and has a passion for connecting with businesses on a larger scale.

About the team

The Corporate Business Development team is responsible for generating new business for Angi by closing and launching Enterprise level accounts. The team manages the entire sales cycle - from prospecting and qualifying through negotiation and signature. Business Development is also heavily involved in new partner launches, in partnership with the assigned Account Manager, to ensure long-term success of the account. We formalize new relationships that secure millions of dollars in revenue each year, and with that comes an opportunity to be part of a dynamic team that plays a pivotal role in the overall growth of the company.

• Work effectively and professionally with all departments across the organization with an important emphasis on partnering with Account Management counterparts to seamlessly transition client relationships. The BDA may remain involved, as necessary, during this transition to support the needs of the client.
• Effectively communicate with leadership the status of prospecting, negotiations, contract agreements, new partnership launches, growth, and potential risks in all opportunities.

In this role, you will need:
