Business Development Manager

About the role

This is a newly created role-and a foundational one. As Proper's first dedicated Business Development Manager, you will own the reengagement and future development of our partnership channel from Property Managers, Real Estate Agents, Independent Insurance Agents, and vendors. Property Manager and Real Estate Agent-referred business represents our highest-converting lead source, yet it remains largely untapped at scale. This role exists to change that. You will be based out of our Bozeman headquarters and work directly with the Chief Sales Officer (CSO) and Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) to build, activate, and grow a national network of property manager and other third-party partnerships. The relationships you develop will drive new business volume and establish a referral engine that benefits the entire sales organization. This is not a role for someone looking for a defined playbook. It is an opportunity for a driven, relationship-oriented professional to build something meaningful in a market that is still defining itself. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Base Salary: $80,000 - $100,000 depending on experience Performance Bonus: Up to $40,000 annually, tied to partnership growth and channel revenue Total Maximum Compensation: $140,000 Travel: Some, about 25% to various trade shows Additional benefits include: Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and life insurance HSA, FSA, and HRA options Short-term disability coverage 401(k) retirement plan Flexible PTO, sick days, and all major holidays off
