Business Development Manager

Promera is a leading provider of critical environment management solutions for mission-critical facilities, including data centers, cleanrooms, life sciences facilities, and other highly regulated operational environments. For over 45 years, we've helped clients protect the performance, reliability, and compliance of their most demanding facilities through specialized technical services, workforce solutions, installation services, and operational expertise. 

The Business Development Manager (BDM) is a hunter-led, consultative sales role focused on creating demand, opening new logos, and building durable, long-term client partnerships. This individual must bring a demonstrated track record of successfully selling complex solutions and services, consistently winning net-new business, and navigating dynamic, fast-moving environments.   

While we are seeking a BDM to represent all of our lines of business, we are looking for someone to support our Installation business line as we grow that offering. The Business Development Manager will expand our presence with general contractors, data center owners and operators, engineering firms, and enterprise customers throughout the region.

• Consistently achieve or exceed new logo, pipeline, installation revenue, and gross margin targets.  
• Represent Promera at industry events, customer meetings, and networking opportunities to strengthen market presence and generate new business.
