Business Development Manager

What to know

Help us land our dream clients — and yours. We're hiring a Business Development Manager to join our Partnerships team. You'll support our new business engine: helping track and maintain the pipeline, project-managing proposals and pitches from RFP to signed contract, and getting the best thinking out of our strategists, creatives, and technologists on tight deadlines.

You'll play a key role in helping organizations choose Blue State as their agency partner. When nonprofits, causes, and brands go looking for support with fundraising, marketing, and communications, they often send out RFPs. You'll support our response: figuring out what they need, bringing the right people together, and making sure every proposal shows we understand their world. The work is consultative and collaborative. It's about listening closely, connecting a prospect's goals to the right solutions, and keeping a talented team moving toward a strong, on-time pitch.

The ideal candidate is an excellent project manager and writer who understands how nonprofits raise money, whether from the inside or as a partner. They're also curious about how marketing, communications, and digital strategy help organizations grow. You don't need to be a marketer yet. You do need to want to learn how we solve problems for clients and enjoy helping tell that
