Director, Business Development
The well-connected door-opener. You build relationships with PE firms, family offices, and independent sponsors and generate a steady flow of qualified introductions, then hand each opportunity to a Solution Sales Engineer to scope and close. You own the relationship and the introduction, not the scoping or the close. This role also manages an external BDR.
Build relationships
Nurture relationships across PE firms, independent sponsors, and family offices, deal teams, operating partners, and portfolio-company executives. Be an active, helpful presence in the market (ACG, AM&AA) and a thought leader on panels and speaking engagements. National coverage, excluding California and Pennsylvania.
Generate pipeline
Identify PE firms and portfolio companies in Craig Group's ICP that are in-market, prioritizing larger, multi-phase commitments, and secure introductory meetings between PE partners, portfolio CEOs, and the Craig Group team.
Hand off cleanly
Partner with the solutions team on a clean, well-documented handoff of every introduction. Provide relationship context and history, and stay the relationship owner throughout the sales cycle.
Track
Stay current on PE market trends, keep timely CRM records, and report on network growth, introduction volume, and handoff quality.

Solution Sales Engineer
The consultative, solution-minded seller who steps in once Business Development sources a deal. You own qualification, scoping, and proposal development, turning warm introductions into signed engagements. This is solution selling, not prospecting, you won't build pipeline from cold outreach.
Scope & discover
Join Business Development on intro calls with PE partners and portfolio-company CEOs, ask the diagnostic questions that surface real GTM challenges and the investment thesis, and translate what you learn into a well-scoped, outcome-based proposal.
Sell & close
Own the proposal, negotiation, and close across Craig Group's solutions (Catalyst, Ignite, and Conduit). Build trust as the GTM subject-matter expert and guide clients from a first wedge engagement into deeply embedded execution.
Collaborate & mentor
Feed lead-quality insight back to BD to sharpen targeting, align scope with internal delivery teams, and mentor the SME team on delivery best practices.
Track
Keep clean records of scoping, proposal, and closing activity in the CRM, and report on conversion, deal velocity, and forecast accuracy.
