What we’re looking for...

You give “business development” a whole new meaning. Market trends, lead generation, critical thinking, analytical attitude, technical savvy, customer presentations—you do it all with poise, confidence, and style. You bring the widest perspective to issues and think of aspects that others have missed. Revenue goals and business outcomes motivate you, but you’re also attuned to building close relationships with others—a combination that earns you respect and trust alike. A thirst for knowledge means that you’re a constant learner, and keeping up with everything Internet of Things is no problem. You envision the large and complex but make it easy for others to understand.

You’ll need to have:

• Bachelor’s degree or four or more years of work experience.

• Six or more years of relevant experience required, demonstrated through one or a combination of work and/or military experience, or specialized training.

• Experience marketing or selling complex technical solutions.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

• CFA or CPA designation.

• Master’s degree. Ideally, an MBA.

• Experience with wireless industry, M&A, and post-M&A Integrations.

• Experience selling and managing large, complex engagements and projects with multiple partners. Ideally, including c-suite.

If Verizon and this role sound like a fit for you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every “even better” qualification listed above.
