  • Overland Park, KS

Job Description

Hyre helps companies reclaim time and scale smarter by providing elite global talent and operational leverage. Our clients are founders and leadership teams who want a true partner-someone who understands their business and can help them build capacity quickly.

The Opportunity

If you're the kind of person who can walk into a room and leave with three new relationships and two future introductions-this role is for you.

Hyre is hiring a boots-on-the-ground Business Development Representative to grow our presence by building trust with business owners, founders, and community leaders-locally in Kansas City and with companies across the U.S. and select international markets.

This is not an inside sales/SDR role. It's a relationship + territory role where your job is to be visible in the local business community while also developing and closing opportunities nationally and internationally through meetings, referrals, and strategic conversations.

You'll attend local events regularly and periodically travel to company-sponsored events, conferences, and meetings (travel expenses covered by Hyre).

What You'll Do

You'll operate like a territory business developer-building a strong local presence while pursuing opportunities across broader markets.

  • Build authentic relationships with business owners, founders, and executives locally and nationally
  • Actively participate in the Kansas City business ecosystem: chambers, associations, networking groups, and community events
  • Sell to companies across the United States, with opportunities to engage prospects in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and other markets
  • Attend company-sponsored events, conferences, and off-site meetings as needed (travel expenses paid)
  • Generate opportunities through in-person conversations, referrals, warm introductions, and strategic outreach
  • Identify and cultivate strategic referral partners and centers of influence
  • Set and participate in qualified meetings for deeper discovery conversations
  • Track relationships, follow-ups, and pipeline in a CRM with strong discipline
  • Represent Hyre professionally at all meetings, events, and travel engagements
What You Bring
  • Proven experience in relationship-based business development, outside sales, partnerships, or consulting
  • Confidence and credibility in face-to-face business conversations
  • Ability to manage a mix of local relationship-building and national/international deal development
  • Strong follow-up, organization, and pipeline management skills (CRM discipline is required)
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with comfort operating autonomously
  • Willingness to attend local events regularly and travel periodically for company-sponsored events
  • Professional presence and high integrity
  • Experience in staffing, professional services, or B2B consulting is a plus
This Role Is NOT For You
  • If you prefer to stay behind a screen and avoid in-person conversations
  • If networking, events, and relationship-building feel draining rather than energizing
  • If you need heavy structure, scripts, or constant oversight to perform
  • If you're looking for a transactional, short-term sales role
Success in this role comes from being visible, trusted, and proactive in the business community-then following through relentlessly.

What Success Looks Like
  • You become a known, trusted connector in the Kansas City business community
  • Consistent weekly conversations/meetings with decision-makers
  • A growing book of referral partners and repeat introductions
  • A steady flow of qualified opportunities generated through relationships
Compensation & Benefits

Hyre offers:
  • Competitive base salary
  • Uncapped performance-based commission
  • Clear growth path into Senior BD, Partnerships, or Sales Leadership
Why Join Hyre
  • Own local relationships while selling into national and international markets
  • Build a powerful network and personal brand within the business community
  • Sell a high-value service with clear ROI for business owners
  • Work directly with leadership and influence growth strategy
  • Company-paid travel to strategic events and conferences
  • Build long-term relationships-not transactional deals-not one-off transactions

Start Date: ASAP

Interested?
If you're energized by getting out in the community, building trust, and creating long-term business value through relationships, we'd love to talk.
