• Build relationships with C-suite executives, business owners, boards, and senior leadership teams.
• Conduct discovery meetings to understand leadership challenges and position CBIZ Talent Solutions as a trusted talent advisory partner.
• Manage the full business development lifecycle, from prospecting and pipeline generation through proposal development, negotiation, and close.
• Maintain an active pipeline and accurate CRM records.
• Collaborate with recruiting leadership to ensure smooth client onboarding and engagement transition.
