Business Development Manager

Are you an experienced technical sales professional with a passion for metal additive manufacturing?

We’re looking for a driven Business Development Manager to lead business development and key account growth across the U.S. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives on building new relationships, opening doors into complex industries, and driving sales in a long-cycle technical environment.

You’ll be responsible for selling metal AM powders, parts, or systems to advanced manufacturing customers across the aerospace, defence, rocket, and high-performance automotive sectors. This is a hands-on role focused on business development rather than people management, perfect for a motivated hunter who wants to make a tangible impact in the rapidly evolving metal AM space.

• Drive new business opportunities across the U.S. in sectors such as aerospace, DOD, rocket manufacturing, supercars, and F1.
• Manage the full sales cycle for metal AM powders, parts, or systems (LPBF/SLM).
• Develop strong technical and commercial relationships with customers, from first contact to close.
• Collaborate with engineering and technical teams to ensure solutions meet customer needs.
• Maintain detailed sales forecasts, reports, and account activity updates.
• Ensure compliance with ITAR and other export control requirements.

• 7 years’ experience in additive manufacturing, metallurgy, or advanced materials sales.
• Proven success in selling metal AM powders, parts, or systems across long sales cycles in the U.S.
• Strong technical grounding, ideal for candidates who have transitioned from a metallurgy, engineering, or process/application engineering background into sales.
• Experience with LPBF/SLM systems.
• Demonstrated ability to open new accounts and grow business in highly technical markets.
• ITAR compliant (U.S. person).

• Competitive base salary: 110,000 – 130,000, plus 2% commission on sales.
• On-target earnings: 240,000 – 300,000.
• Opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology shaping the future of metal additive manufacturing.
• Collaborative, innovative work culture that values initiative and results.

If you’re an ambitious sales professional ready to take on a national role in the growing metal AM market, we’d love to hear from you.
