Business Development Manager, Financial Services, Private Equity, Business

Description

Come be a part of a rapidly expanding $35 billion dollar global business. At Amazon Business, a fast-growing startup passionate about building solutions, we set out every day to innovate and disrupt the status quo. We stand at the intersection of tech & retail in the B2B space developing innovative purchasing and procurement solutions to help businesses and organizations thrive. At Amazon Business, we strive to be the most recognized and preferred strategic partner for smart business buying. Bring your insight, imagination and a healthy disregard for the impossible. Join us in building and celebrating the value of Amazon Business to buyers and sellers of all sizes and industries. Unlock your career potential.

Amazon Business is seeking a Business Development Manager to serve as the connective tissue between our Private Equity (PE) firm relationships, portfolio company sponsors, and internal growth teams. This customer-facing role works directly with PE leaders and operating partners, stakeholders at their portfolio companies (portcos) and AB Account Executives across multiple sales organizations to drive activation, adoption, and spend consolidation.

This role partners closely with the PE Account Executives who manage firm-level relationships. While PE AEs build and deepen executive relationships with PE firms, this BDM ensures every portfolio company behind those relationships activates, ramps, and consolidates onto Amazon Business. The scope includes net-new PortCo activation, growing existing customers who are under-utilizing AB, and unlocking spend in new categories. This role also serves as a strategic partner for the PE sponsors themselves. In a market with extended holding periods and pressure on operational value creation, this BDM helps PE firms achieve better procurement outcomes across their portfolios, supporting rapid on-boarding of new acquisitions and delivering the visibility operating partners need to demonstrate value creation.
