Executive Development information

What is executive development?

Executive development refers to the process of preparing and enhancing the skills, knowledge, and abilities of individuals in leadership positions within an organization. This can involve formal training programs, coaching, mentoring, and on-the-job experiences designed to help executives lead more effectively. The goal is to ensure that leaders are equipped to drive organizational success, adapt to changing business environments, and manage teams efficiently. Executive development is crucial for succession planning and maintaining a competitive edge in the market.

What are some typical challenges faced in an executive development role, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in Executive Development often encounter challenges such as aligning leadership programs with evolving organizational goals, engaging busy executives in ongoing learning, and measuring the impact of development initiatives. To address these, it’s important to maintain strong communication with senior leaders, tailor programs to specific business needs, and use robust metrics to track outcomes. Collaborating closely with HR, business unit leaders, and external partners can also help ensure initiatives remain relevant and effective.

What is the difference between Executive Development vs Corporate Trainer?

AspectExecutive DevelopmentCorporate Trainer

Work EnvironmentCorporate offices, leadership programs, executive settingsTraining rooms, workshops, online platforms
Employer & Industry UsageUsed by corporations to develop senior leadersUsed across industries to improve employee skills
Search & Comparison IntentFocuses on leadership growth at executive levelsFocuses on skill development for employees

Executive Development and Corporate Trainer roles both focus on professional growth, but Executive Development targets senior leaders and strategic leadership skills, often requiring advanced degrees and working within corporate leadership programs. In contrast, Corporate Trainers focus on skill-building for employees at various levels, utilizing training certifications and delivering workshops or online courses. While both roles aim to enhance workforce capabilities, their target audiences and work environments differ significantly.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in executive development, and why are they important?

To excel in Executive Development, you need a strong background in leadership theory, talent management, and organizational behavior, often supported by a degree in business or human resources. Familiarity with learning management systems (LMS), assessment tools, and certifications such as SHRM or HRCI is highly beneficial. Excellent communication, strategic thinking, and relationship-building skills help drive effective leadership programs and foster executive growth. These capabilities are crucial for shaping future leaders, aligning talent strategies with business goals, and ensuring long-term organizational success.

Job description

You Probably Don't Need Another Job.


But you might be looking for a bigger opportunity.


For more than 23 years, TheHomeMag has connected home improvement professionals with

highly desirable homeowners. Today, were building on our proven print foundation with an

integrated marketing platform spanning print, digital marketing, email, social media,

audience engagement and lead generation.


We're looking for an accomplished Business Development Executive who wants the autonomy,

resources and opportunity to build something significant.


The Opportunity


You'll step into an established territory with an existing book of business, strong brand

recognition and significant room to grow.


And we're just beginning to tap the potential of what TheHomeMag can become.


We're investing in our homeowner audience, technology, marketing and an expanding portfolio

of solutions that give our sales team more ways to help clients grow—and more ways to grow

their own business.


You're not starting from zero. You're taking something valuable and making it substantially

bigger.


We're not looking for someone to simply fill a territory. Were looking for someone to

maximize its potential.


What You'll Own

  • An assigned territory and annual revenue target.
  • Continuous new-business and pipeline development.
  • Retention and growth of an established client portfolio.
  • Consultative selling across print, digital, email, social and lead-generation solutions.
  • Proactive identification of client risk and growth opportunities.
  • CRM-based opportunity management, follow-up and accurate forecasting.
  • Your schedule, priorities and results.


What We're Looking For


Required

  • Demonstrated success in B2B consultative sales or business development.
  • Experience developing new business while growing existing accounts.
  • Working knowledge of pipeline development, opportunity management and forecasting.
  • Professional experience using Salesforce, HubSpot or a comparable CRM.
  • Ability to independently manage a territory, priorities and client relationships.


Preferred

  • 5+ years of successful B2B sales or business development experience.
  • Integrated media, digital marketing, advertising or related solution-selling experience.
  • Demonstrated history of achieving or exceeding significant revenue goals.


How You'll Work


You know your numbers, build pipeline consistently and use your CRM to manage your

business.


When something doesn't go according to plan, your first instinct is to look for a solution. You

use judgment, initiative and available resources to determine the next move and know when

something genuinely requires leadership support.


You enjoy autonomy, embrace accountability and adapt as our business and the marketing

landscape continue to evolve.


What We Offer

  • Competitive base salary plus performance-based compensation.
  • Six-figure earning potential, with top performers earning $175,000+ annually.
  • An established territory and client base with significant growth potential.
  • Home-office flexibility with the option to work from our local office.
  • Medical, dental and vision insurance.
  • 401(k) and paid time off.


This is a territory-based role requiring regular interaction with clients and prospects throughout

Northern California / Northern Nevada.


If you're successful where you are but looking for greater ownership, autonomy and upside,

we'd like to talk.


We're not looking for someone to maintain the past. We're looking for someone who wants

to help build what's next.
