Business Development Manager Remote Jobs in Baltimore, MD

Internet Testing Systems (ITS) is seeking a Business Development Manager to join our team. REMOTE—US-only applicants will be accepted. No third-party resumes will be accepted.  Salary $100,000

ITS is a well-established technology company that partners with organizations to build, deliver, and manage online assessment and certification programs. We partner with organizations across healthcare, professional certification, education, and workforce development to deliver programs with a wide range of purposes and stakes. From classroom and practice testing to continuous certification and high-stakes licensure exams, we provide the technology, expertise, and operational support needed to create secure, scalable, and impactful assessment experiences.  
 

At ITS, we foster a culture of collaboration and teamwork, ensuring job satisfaction and personal success for each member of our team. Our unique environment offers unparalleled opportunities for skill enhancement and knowledge expansion. We believe in the joy of work, advocating for a fun and engaging workplace that prioritizes employee well-being and professional development over burnout. This commitment to nurturing and celebrating talent helps create a vibrant community of technology professionals dedicated to shaping the future of digital assessment. 
 

The Business Development Manager plays a key role in driving new business growth by identifying, developing, and closing new business opportunities across ITS’s diverse market segments and product portfolio. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role with no direct reports. It requires both strategic thinking and day-to-day execution across the full sales cycle, offering the opportunity to directly impact ITS’s growth and how we continue to build and evolve our business development approach. The role operates within a lean commercial team and is supported by an existing pipeline, marketing-generated leads, and internal subject-matter experts, while requiring independent ownership of opportunities from initial outreach through close. 

The ideal candidate will represent ITS with credibility and professionalism, quickly develop fluency in our products and services, and engage prospective customers in thoughtful, consultative conversations. They must be able to communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences, assess where ITS can realistically add value, and exercise sound judgment in qualifying and prioritizing opportunities. Success in this role requires someone who can manage a broad set of responsibilities, prioritize independently, and consistently drive opportunities forward. Because the role is not limited to a single vertical or product line, the successful candidate must also be comfortable learning and selling across a varied portfolio.

•    Prepare contract terms and pricing agreements in coordination with appropriate internal stakeholders, ensuring favorable outcomes for both the customer and ITS.
