Job Description
Title: Business Development Right Hand - (aka The Donna to Our Harvey)
Location: North Brunswick (onsite)
Type: Full Time
Industry: Staffing Firm
Level: Beginner to intermediate
Every strong rainmaker needs a powerhouse behind them. We’re looking for the Business Development Right Hand; the Donna to our Harvey. This is someone who sees three steps ahead, keeps the momentum moving, and makes sales execution look effortless. You’ll work side-by-side with leadership to support, streamline, and strengthen every aspect of our business development efforts.
Let’s get one thing straight…
- We’re not looking for a résumé collector.
- We’re not looking for someone who just “schedules meetings.”
- We’re looking for a Donna Paulsen.
- Someone who reads the room before anyone speaks.
- Someone who anticipates problems before they happen.
- Someone who makes the engine run while the rainmakers close the deals.
- You will work directly with the Owner and VP; daily.
- You will be the operational force multiplier behind Sales and Business Development.
- If you have to Google who Donna Paulsen is, this role may not be for you.
What You’ll Actually Do
- Be the strategic right hand to the Owner and VP on all sales and BD initiatives
- Manage pipeline flow, outreach tracking, CRM hygiene, and follow-ups
- Draft high-impact emails, proposals, and executive communications
- Research target accounts and identify entry strategies
- Prepare leaders for calls (talking points, background intel, positioning)
- Sit in on sales conversations and track action items
- Own calendar alignment and priority management
- Coordinate RFP responses and bid strategy support
- Follow up relentlessly (without being annoying)
- Help turn conversations into contracts
You are not an assistant.
You are a deal accelerator.
What Makes You “Donna-Level”
- You anticipate needs before being asked
- You are detail-obsessed but not robotic
- You’re confident enough to push back
- You can write clearly, sharply, and persuasively
- You’re organized without being rigid
- You thrive in fast-paced, founder-led environments
- You understand sales psychology
- You can manage multiple moving deals at once
Bonus Points If You Have:
- Staffing, consulting, or B2B services experience
- Experience supporting executives directly
- CRM mastery (HubSpot, Salesforce, JobDiva, etc.)
- Experience with RFP coordination
