Business development manager for online B2B service

We will soon launch a new B2B website targeted at the commercial printing & graphic arts industries.

The service connects buyers and sellers of print. It allows sellers to increase profits while buyers save on printing. How this is done will only be discussed in confidentiality with successful bidder. From our initial test run in the marketplace we have had very positive feedback from both buyers & sellers and they are as excited about the service as we are.

The service will be launched in several regions around the world, each being its own 'localised' version using the same backend database. Regions will include the world's largest print markets eg. US, Japan, Germany, China, UK & France.

The service will require both online & offline marketing efforts to attract buyers & sellers (each segment will also require different methods of being reached).
Being an innovative yet simple concept, it is important that swift & effective marketing is put into action so that a customer base is quickly built before the competition can respond.

Beta launch of the service is scheduled for December/January.

What we need?
An experienced business development manager to recruit sales representatives for each region.

Your role will involve;
- Recruiting regional sales representatives
- Working closely with sales representatives to assess local market & develop online/offline strategies to reach local market
- Set sales targets with sales representatives
- Support sales representatives - an online forum will also be made available, allowing sales representatives from the different regions to support each other & share marketing strategies

This is the ideal opportunity for a self-starter with entrepreneurial flair to join a start-up with a huge upside in a niche. We will be creating a new & innovative marketplace which will change the way commercial print is bought & sold.
Compensation will be commission only, as we are only looking for results. There are also plans to market related products & services to both print buyers & sellers in the future, to add value to the service.
