The Sales team at Bilue is responsible for seeking and winning work that drives our growth, excites our people, and creates meaningful impact at scale.

As a Business Development Manager (BDM), you’ll play a critical role in opening doors across a range of clients and market sectors. You are tenacious, personable, and well-connected, with a strong ability to build long-term relationships and leverage the expertise of your Bilue colleagues to propel client conversations and facilitate bringing the right people together to close deals.
