Agency Development Manager Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

Pendleton has been woven in the West since 1863. Built on a legacy of craft, quality, and authenticity, our products are known for their timeless design and enduring stories. The Senior Manager, Business Development is a newly created business development role responsible for identifying, pursuing, and closing net-new revenue opportunities for Pendleton. This role is focused on building a strong pipeline, converting prospects, and developing new revenue channels that support the company's long-term growth.

This position requires an entrepreneurial, commercially minded business developer who is energized by building new revenue streams.

Success is measured by new accounts opened and new revenue delivered.
