Corporate Networks

About Corporate Networks:

For over 40 years, Corporate Networks has delivered comprehensive IT solutions to K–12, public, SMB, and enterprise sectors from our headquarters in Fort McMurray. We have built our company on the culture and its core values with the purpose of adding value to the lives of our staff and clients. Corporate Networks strives to build long-term partnerships, not just transactional relationships with the people and companies we work with.  Along with providing Managed Services and Surric Cloud solutions for client’s IT needs, we build our partnerships by first understanding the client’s business needs to design, deploy and support technology infrastructure.

General Description and Primary Role:

We are seeking a highly driven and strategic Business Development Manager who is passionate about building meaningful client relationships.  This role is responsible for driving measurable growth across new business, existing accounts, and overall market presence. You will assist with our go-to-market approach, build a structured and repeatable pipeline, and lead opportunities from initial conversation through to close and expansion.

You will work closely with service delivery to ensure we are aligned on client expectations, delivering value, and identifying opportunities to deepen relationships. Success in this role means building strong relationships, and creating a clear, repeatable growth model.

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Takes ownership of outcomes and is accountable to targets
• Believes that strong relationships drive long-term growth
• Is comfortable balancing business development with account management
• Prefers building structure and process where it does not yet exist

• Brings discipline, clarity, and consistency to how growth is managed

Leadership
