Additional details will be provided during the recruiting process.\nAbout the Role\nOur client, an established international manufacturer of specialty textile and technical material solutions, is seeking an experienced Business Development Manager to drive the continued growth of its premium insect screening product portfolio in the U.S. market.\nThis opportunity is well suited for a commercially driven professional with experience in insect screening, screen systems, fenestration, shading/sun protection, or a closely related segment of the window and door industry who understands the market, enjoys developing new customer relationships, and is comfortable building business across a nationwide territory.\nThe company has established a U.S. subsidiary and has already developed initial customer relationships and a growing pipeline of market opportunities. CRM and sales processes, U.S.-based support, product samples, and logistics resources are in place to support continued customer development.\nThe Business Development Manager will take ownership of the next phase of U.S. market growth, with a focus on expanding the customer and partner base and converting market opportunities into sustainable, recurring business.\nAs the company’s first dedicated U.S. business development professional, this position offers a high degree of visibility, ownership, and direct access to senior leadership. As the U.S. business grows, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to take on broader commercial responsibilities and play an increasingly important role in shaping the company’s U.S. organization.\nThe Product & Market Opportunity\nThe company offers a premium, high-transparency insect screening solution designed to combine strong airflow and visibility with the durability required for everyday residential screening applications.\nFollowing positive initial market response and first commercial traction in the United States, the company is now investing in a dedicated local business development presence to accelerate growth across the U.S. screening and fenestration market.\nKey Responsibilities\nDevelop new business opportunities across the U.S. market\nIdentify, approach, and acquire new B2B customers and strategic channel partners\nBuild and expand relationships with insect screen system providers, screen fabricators, fenestration distributors, franchise and multi-location screen installation organizations, specialty dealers, and other relevant industry partners\nDevelop selected opportunities with window and door manufacturers and other companies within the broader fenestration value chain\nUnderstand customer applications and distribution models and identify opportunities where the company’s screening solutions can add commercial and product value\nManage opportunities from initial product introduction and sampling through commercial orders and repeat business\nBuild long-term customer relationships through regular in-person interaction and a consultative sales approach\nRepresent the company at customer meetings, industry trade shows, and relevant market events throughout the United States\nMonitor market trends, competitive activity, customer requirements, and potential new applications\nMaintain an accurate sales pipeline and customer activity within the company’s CRM\nProvide market feedback and customer insights to product and management teams\nCoordinate closely with the company’s international headquarters, U.S.-based support resources, logistics partners, and other internal stakeholders\nSuccess in this role will be measured by the ability to develop qualified opportunities, acquire new customers, and build sustainable recurring business in the U.S. market.\nCandidate Profile\nThe successful candidate will combine relevant industry knowledge with strong business development and relationship-building capabilities.\nDirect insect screen experience is highly valuable, but candidates from closely related market segments who understand the customer base, distribution landscape, and relevant decision-makers are also encouraged to apply.\nThe ideal candidate brings:\nRelevant B2B sales or business development experience within insect screening, screen systems, fenestration, shading/sun protection, window and door products, or a closely related market\nFamiliarity with the U.S. fenestration and screening industry and its distribution channels\nExisting relationships with system providers, screen fabricators, distributors, installation organizations, manufacturers, specialty dealers, or other relevant industry contacts are strongly preferred\nProven ability to develop new customers and grow business rather than exclusively manage an established account base\nStrong relationship-building skills and the ability to engage credibly with business owners, commercial leaders, purchasing teams, and other customer stakeholders\nA self-directed and entrepreneurial working style combined with the ability to collaborate effectively within an international organization\nCommercial judgment and the ability to communicate the value of a differentiated technical product\nStrong presentation, communication, and negotiation skills\nComfort using CRM systems\nWillingness and ability to travel regularly throughout the United States\nExperience working with an international or European-headquartered organization is helpful but not required.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5624,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United
