60 Radar Radar Business Development Manager Jobs Hiring Near You

ABOUT THE JOB

We're looking for a Director, Business Development to own and grow RADAR's external relationships with retail brands and drive targets through the commercial pipeline - from first conversation to signed partnership. This is a quota-carrying, revenue-facing role at the center of RADAR's next stage of growth.

You'll be the face of RADAR to VP- and C-level stakeholders across merchandising, store operations, supply chain, and IT at multi-national apparel brands, department stores, and big-box retailers. You'll build and manage a pipeline of qualified opportunities, run a consultative and technically credible sales process, and work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Marketing, Customer Experience and Deployment Operations to turn interest into signed, deployed customers.

This role requires equal parts hunter instinct and relationship-building discipline - someone who can open doors at the executive level, translate a technical, hardware-enabled platform into a business case retailers act on, and manage a multi-stakeholder, multi-month sales cycle without losing momentum.

Responsibilities:

Pipeline Ownership

• Own the end-to-end business development pipeline for a defined set of target retail accounts, from prospecting and qualification through to signed contract.
• Build and maintain accurate pipeline reporting and forecasting, using CRM discipline to keep stage, next steps, and close timing current for leadership visibility.
• Proactively move targets through the pipeline, identifying and clearing the blockers that stall enterprise retail deals.

External Relationships & Partnerships

• Build and own senior-level relationships with retail executives across merchandising, store operations, supply chain, loss prevention, and IT.
• Serve as RADAR's primary external point of contact for prospective retail partners throughout the sales cycle.
• Represent RADAR at industry events, conferences, and retailer forums to build market presence and generate new relationships.

Deal Strategy & Execution

• Lead the commercial narrative for each opportunity: translate RADAR's hardware-enabled platform into a clear, retailer-specific business case tied to inventory accuracy, labor efficiency, and fulfillment performance.
• Structure and negotiate commercial terms, partnering with Legal and Finance to close agreements that work for both RADAR and the retailer.
• Coordinate proof-of-concept and pilot store engagements alongside Engineering and Deployment Operations to prove value ahead of full rollout.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Product and Marketing to bring retailer feedback and market intelligence back into RADAR's roadmap and positioning.
• Work closely with Deployment Operations and Customer Experience to ensure a smooth handoff from signed deal to live store rollout.
• Provide leadership with regular visibility into pipeline health, deal risk, and market trends across the retail landscape.

Market Intelligence

• Track competitive dynamics, retail technology trends, and buying behavior across target verticals to sharpen RADAR's go-to-market approach.
• Identify new verticals, account segments, or partnership models that expand RADAR's addressable market.

ABOUT YOURequired:

• 8+ years of business development, enterprise sales, or strategic partnerships experience, with a track record of owning and closing complex, multi-stakeholder, multi-million dollar deals.
• Experience selling into retail - brand, big-box, or department store organizations - with an existing network at the VP/C-level across merchandising, store operations, supply chain, or IT.
• Demonstrated ability to manage a full sales pipeline independently: prospecting, qualification, solution development, negotiation, and close.
• Comfort selling a hardware-enabled, technical platform to a non-technical business audience - you can translate complex capability into a business case executives act on.
• Strong commercial instincts: you know how to structure a deal, negotiate terms, and know when to push and when to slow down.
• Excellent executive presence and communication skills, with the ability to build credibility quickly with senior retail stakeholders.
• A builder's mindset - comfortable operating with limited process, creating your own playbook, and adapting as the business scales.
• Willingness to travel to meet prospective and existing retail partners as needed.

Preferred:

• Experience selling RFID, IoT, computer vision, or other in-store hardware/software solutions.
• Existing relationships with retail executives at brands in RADAR's target segments (apparel, big-box, department stores).
• Experience partnering with Engineering or Deployment teams to run pilots and proofs of concept.
• Familiarity with CRM and pipeline management tools (Salesforce, HubSpot, or similar).

WHAT YOU'LL DOIn your first 30 days, you will:

• Learn RADAR's platform, technology, deployment model, and commercial landscape well enough to speak to it credibly with retail executives.
• Get up to speed on the current pipeline, existing relationships, and active deals in flight.
• Begin building relationships with key stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Deployment Operations.

In your first 60 days, you will:

• Own a defined set of target accounts and have active conversations underway with new and existing prospects.
• Have a clear, accurate view of your pipeline in the CRM, with next steps and timing mapped for each opportunity.
• Begin representing RADAR externally at meetings, calls, or events with prospective retail partners.

In your first 90 days, you will:

• Have moved multiple targets meaningfully forward in the pipeline, with at least one opportunity in active negotiation or pilot planning.
• Be recognized internally as the owner of your accounts and externally as a trusted point of contact for your retail partners.
• Be delivering regular, reliable pipeline and forecast visibility to leadership.
