The current home services industry is fragmented, complex, and opaque, which is frustrating for homeowners and exhausting for contractors. We are changing this by building a home upgrade marketplace that enables a simple, central, transparent process for homeowners and contractors to complete projects.\nThrough our platform we handle design, quoting, procurement, and customer service, allowing our contractor network to focus on what they do best and make them money: delivering projects. For homeowners, this delivers a predictable, high-quality, and transparent experience-transforming home upgrades from a source of anxiety into a seamless experience.\nOur vision is to create a world where homeowners and contractors in all 50 states can leverage our platform to execute thousands of projects every week within the next 36 months.\nWe work by a clear set of values:\nBe a \"can do kid,\" not a \"can’t kid\": We own our outcomes and go to extraordinary lengths to solve problems.\nGo fast, be clear: Speed is our advantage, and we sweat the details to deliver an extraordinary customer experience.\nCustomer & Contractor Obsessed: We have a deep, personal understanding of the work to be done. We stay curious about our contractors' craft and the stories of our homeowners.\n Win, as a team: We are building an iconic business that will reinvent the industry, and will do so together.\nIf you are ready to build a world-class consumer experience that genuinely rebuilds American communities, come build with us.\nAbout Your Role & Impact\nWe are hiring a Senior Business Development Manager to be a player-coach and the front-line leader of our partnerships team. You will personally own relationships with strategic, Tier-1 utility and program-administrator partners, while setting the pace and coaching a growing pod of individual contributors through their own complete deals. In your first 90 days, success looks like transitioning key named accounts, advancing major 6- or 7-figure partnerships, and establishing the operating rhythm (pipeline reviews, forecasting, CRM discipline) that turns segment strategy into reliable revenue. You will serve as the primary escalation point to unblock deals, orchestrating cross-functional execution with Programs, Marketing, and Finance to move partnerships from signed to generating qualified homeowner projects. This role is designed for someone who has closed complex partnerships themselves and wants to multiply their impact through a team, with a direct path to a Manager role within 12 months.\nWho You Are\nYou are an expert technical communicator, a rigorous pipeline manager, and a natural leader who thrives in complex B2B2C ecosystems. You know how to translate intricate utility-program requirements into persuasive proposals, and you can coach junior team members to do the exact same thing. You possess an innate ability to solve complex problems under time pressure. When roadblocks hit, you don't just map out Plan B for yourself; you can coach the team to find creative solutions rather than accepting defeat. You balance professional poise with commercial grit, knowing how to apply positive pressure internally to unblock your team, and externally to keep deals moving. You command the room with senior utility executives, but you are equally comfortable working alongside the team doing deep work to understand the end-to-end impact our work has on our contractors and homeowners.\nWhat you Bring\n6 - 9 years of total experience, including proven success in building pipelines and closing complex high-value B2B partnerships within utilities, energy, or regulated markets.\n1-3 year of experience mentoring, coaching or leading sales / partnership individual contributors, with a desire to formally move into people management.\nDemonstrated ability to build trust and earn respect with C-level utility executives, regional energy efficiency programs, utility program managers, implementers, and non-profits.\nExceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of distilling technical complexity into simple, compelling narratives and proposals.\nFluency in B2B GTM operating disciplines ( MEDDPICC, account plan development, pipeline deal nurturing, accurate forecasting) and disciplined CRM rigor.\nA bias for action and can-do mindset - taking total ownership of both your territory targets and the team's collective success.\nFlexibility for 30% to 40% travel to support in-market partner meetings, trade shows, and industry events.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4708,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Energy Efficiency","HVAC & Refrigeration"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T13:20:14Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":72,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.796,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":56,"expected_fill_days":90,"reasons":["conf:0","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":300000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/zero-homes-senior-business-development-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/zero-homes-senior-business-development-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T17:49:45Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24333,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":7891},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=7891"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fzero-homes-senior-business-development-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fzero-homes-senior-business-development-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fzero-homes-senior-business-development-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/zero-homes-senior-business-development-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fzero-homes-senior-business-development-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":277618}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"zerohomes.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":277618},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
