Location: Remote, within OhioSE’s 25-county region (pre-approved)

Type: Full-time, exempt, salary based on qualifications

Reports to: OhioSE President and CEO

Deadline: Open until filled

OhioSE, a private nonprofit and one of JobsOhio’s seven regional partners, supports business attraction, retention and expansion across 25 counties in Appalachian Ohio. It is hiring a business development manager to market the region and close deals that bring new capital investment and jobs to Ohio.

Working with JobsOhio and OhioSE’s president, the manager will:

  • Market the region’s large sites, abundant energy, and available workforce through digital campaigns
  • Generate leads through OhioSE’s contract with Research FDI
  • Market the region’s natural gas to German manufacturers that use it
  • Reach site selectors and developers through the Site Selectors Guild, Area Development, IAMC and regional brokers
  • Manage leads in Smartsheet and JOSF and the relationship with JobsOhio’s business development team
  • Support site visits for JobsOhio-led regional attraction projects

Target markets include reshoring and inshoring, shale energy, the Intel and Honda/LG battery supply chains, hardwood and metal manufacturing, food processing, auto components, polymers and plastics, logistics and back-office operations.

Qualifications: Three to five years of related experience and a bachelor’s degree in planning, business, finance, engineering, economic development or a related field are preferred. Economic development and project management experience help but aren’t required. Candidates need strong writing, proofreading and organizational skills, Microsoft Office proficiency, discretion with confidential information and a valid driver’s license. Salesforce experience is a plus. The job involves travel in Appalachian Ohio with occasional overnight stays.

To apply: Send a cover letter, resume and contact information for three professional references to Jane Dunnington, Human Resources, at Jane@ohiose.com.
