Job Summary

We are hiring a local Business Development Representative to grow our strategic accounts and referral partnerships throughout Central New Jersey.

This is an in-person relationship-building role focused on developing partnerships with local businesses, property managers, realtors, contractors, moving companies, storage facilities, senior living communities, and other referral sources.

This position combines:

- Face-to-face networking and relationship building

This is a great opportunity for someone interested in growing within a fast-moving small business environment while developing real-world experience in business development, sales, marketing, and networking.
