Today, we earn our customers’ respect by providing full-spectrum risk management solutions alongside transparent, data-driven advice. Come see why customers around the globe trust BakerRisk.
YOU: As THE Business Development Coordinator for BakerRisk’s client-facing team, you will OWN a critical role for advancing our initiatives – and for being the connector among several teams that support the incredible work that our engineers and consultants provide throughout the world every hour, every day.
You will interface and work with Business Development (BD), Key Accounts (KA), and our awesome Marketing and Communications (MarComm) staff on a daily basis, along with delving into Special Projects. There are no boring days here, as you will be providing support and coordination in the areas of business development, client, industry and sector research, and key accounts. Your many talents will not be lost in being part of the successes of BakerRisk, or Fortress Protective Buildings, our wholly owned subsidiary.
Your high energy is surpassed only by that ever-so-rare skill of pointing out the way a task can be done rather than how it can’t. You look forward to every day that ends in “y”, and to contributing to a team that is biased towards action, finding solutions, and doing what most consider difficult, improbable and sometimes impossible. You eat “making things happen” for breakfast.
You will report to the Global Director, Business Development and Marketing/Communications, with the expectation that you “own” everything you do, and your autonomy will increase as time goes on. This is a role for someone who has a lot to give and wants to show it. And by now, you should be so pumped up that you are saving this post so that you can go check out our incredible website.
