Business Development Manager

US Remote (East Coast)

About Crossbeam

The highest-performing go-to-market teams have figured out how to turn their partner ecosystem into a revenue engine, and Crossbeam is the platform that makes that possible. Companies use Crossbeam to securely compare CRM data with partners, revealing shared customers, overlapping prospects, and warm paths into deals. 

That second-party data becomes Ecosystem Intelligence — a layer of unique signals and recommendations that helps revenue teams uncover new opportunities, target the right accounts, and win faster. We pioneered the category of ecosystem-led growth, and now we're defining what comes next: go-to-market powered by AI-native ecosystem intelligence.

We’re looking for a motivated and ecosystem-minded Business Development Manager to join our Business Development team. In this role, you’ll manage a mix of strategic customer accounts (our “Gravity Nodes”) and high-potential prospects. Your focus: generate pipeline and accelerate deals by activating partner relationships and leveraging ecosystem signals.

This isn’t a typical BDR role. As a Business Development Manager at Crossbeam, you’ll sit at the intersection of Sales, Partnerships, and Customer Success, driving Ecosystem-Led Growth (ELG). You will run your own demos, have a full book of business and accelerate revenue growth by activating partner networks turning ecosystem insights into opportunities and helping companies grow through each other.

What you'll do:

  • Own a portfolio of accounts for our top customers with large ecosystems
  • Partner with customer teams to identify and activate their most strategic partners on Crossbeam.
  • Become the go-to BD point of contact for onboarding and activating those partners, surfacing qualified opportunities for AEs.
  • Manage a portfolio of cold prospects and free users.
  • Use ecosystem overlaps, partner insights, and product usage data to prioritize outreach.
  • Create warm entry points and book high-quality first meetings with prospects.
  • Guide new users through setup and help them realize initial value.
  • Ensure seamless onboarding until accounts are ready for Sales qualification.
  • Work closely with Sales, Partnerships, and Customer Success to bring Ecosystem Led Growth  to life at every stage of the sales cycle.
  • Share partner insights, influence pipeline, and support strategic initiatives with other GTM teams.

What you need: 

  • 2+ years as a BDR, Partner Manager, or Partner Sales Rep.
  • Demonstrated drive, grit, creativity, and proactivity. Are target-driven and love turning warm signals into real pipelines.
  • Comfortable working with strategic/enterprise accounts and complex org structures.
  • Strong communicator that can hold a confident, thoughtful conversation with execs and users alike
  • CRM experience (Salesforce preferred; Salesloft or similar a plus).
  • Bonus: Partnerships experience or Crossbeam product knowledge; exposure to AI-driven tools or data enrichment platforms.

You’ll do great if you:

  • Take ownership without waiting for permission.
  • Ask “what’s actually needed?” instead of defaulting to precedent.
  • Use AI as leverage to clarify thinking, improve communication, synthesize information, and accelerate execution.
  • Actively seek out and act on feedback to raise your own bar
  • Dig until you understand the real problem, not just the surface request.
  • Make those around you more effective.

You’ll get: 

  • Collaborative teammates and a culture built on trust and accountability
  • Competitive compensation and equity
  • Comprehensive healthcare coverage for you and your family
  • Remote-flexible with access to co-working spaces in your area
  • Learning, wellness, and WFH stipends
  • Flexible time off
  • Paid parental leave
  • …and more!

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
