Director of Business Development

Coherent Solutions builds custom software for enterprises and high-growth companies. Founded in 1995, we have 1,700+ people across 10 countries, serving clients in fitness & wellness, healthcare, fintech, manufacturing, and technology. This is a pure hunter role. You carry a quota, and your primary responsibility is winning new enterprise clients through your own prospecting, BDR introductions, inbound leads, partner referrals, and your professional network. Once a new account is closed, you will work closely with our delivery management teams to grow it into a long-term, strategic relationship. You will engage with buyers ranging from directors to C-suite executives and navigating complex, multi-disciplinary decision processes.

Enterprise services relationships take years to build, and we want the same commitment from our people.
