Business Development Manager

*This is not a role with ForceBrands*

We are partnering with a global packaging manufacturer to hire a New Business Development Manager focused on driving growth across the Northeast, with a strong concentration in the New York beauty and cosmetics market.

This is a true hunter role. This is ideal for someone who can build pipeline from scratch, leverage existing relationships, and convert opportunities into new business.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive net-new business development across beauty & cosmetics brands in the Northeast

• Own the full sales cycle from prospecting through close

• Build and execute territory strategy to generate pipeline and revenue

• Develop relationships with key decision-makers across major beauty organizations

• Manage a small set of existing accounts while prioritizing new business growth

• Partner cross-functionally with internal teams and international stakeholders

Required Experience

• Proven track record of closing net-new business (not account management)

• Experience in beauty, cosmetics, or primary packaging (glass strongly preferred)

• Established network within beauty brands (e.g., Estée Lauder, L’Oréal, Coty, etc.)

• Experience selling into mid-to-large scale accounts

• Ability to operate in a field-based, relationship-driven sales environment

Additional Requirements

• Willingness to be onsite in Queens during onboarding and 3 days/week thereafter

• Ability to travel across the Northeast for client meetings

• Access to reliable transportation (car required for regional travel)

Why This Role

• High-impact position with direct ownership of revenue growth

• Established global business with strong product portfolio

• Lean U.S. team with visibility to senior leadership

• Opportunity to build and shape a high-value territory

Important Note

This role is focused on new business development. Candidates primarily focused on account management or internal sales support will not be a fit.

If you are currently responsible for generating new business within beauty or packaging and are looking for a role with direct impact on growth, we encourage you to apply.
