JOB SUMMARY
B-Stock is looking for someone who brings energy, curiosity, and a strong sense of ownership. This isn't a script-driven role-you'll learn how to identify, engage, and grow relationships with buyers by understanding their needs and connecting them to the right opportunities on our platform.
You'll start with warm accounts and quickly expand into building your own pipeline through thoughtful, targeted outreach. If you enjoy talking to people, are motivated to learn, and want to grow into owning a book of business, you'll do well here.
As a Buyer Business Development Representative, you'll drive growth within our large corporate buyer segment. You'll build and manage a pipeline of buyers, convert high-value prospects, and increase transaction volume across your portfolio. The role blends outbound business development, consultative relationship-building, and strong operational execution.
You'll partner closely with internal teams to ensure buyers are successfully onboarded, activated, and continuously growing on the platform. This role reports to the Vice President of Buyer Growth and is based in Boston (2-3 days in office), with up to 20% travel.
