Business Development Executive - Education, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

Safety-Care® by QBS is a leader in behavioral crisis prevention training. Through our train-the-trainer model, we equip organizations—including schools, healthcare providers, and human services agencies—with the skills to reduce workplace crises and improve care.

Our mission-driven, high-impact team supports more than 250,000 certified professionals nationwide, helping organizations create safer environments for staff and the individuals they serve.

You’ve seen it firsthand. Schools, hospitals, and human services agencies across the country have a crisis problem. Staff get hurt. Kids and patients get restrained when they don’t need to be. Safety-Care fixes that, and more than 250,000 certified professionals already use it. Your job is to find the organizations that need it, win them, and put your name on the number

As a Business Development Executive, you’ll own a territory end to end. You find the opportunity, run the deal, and close it. You’ll learn each account inside and out: who makes decisions, how budgets work, and when contracts are up. Then you’ll turn those relationships into real opportunities and new business. Prospecting, discovery, presenting, negotiating, closing. The result is yours, and everyone will see it.

No sales background required. BCBAs, special education teachers, paraprofessionals, behavior specialists, school administrators, and staff trainers bring something we can’t teach: credibility with the people we serve. We’ll teach you the rest.

• →Own a named list of accounts and keep every one of them on an active cadence
• →Map who buys, how budgets and funding work, and when contracts renew
• →Create qualified opportunities from your list, building a pipeline months ahead
• →Run discovery that uncovers the full need, so deals grow beyond the first request
• →Take inbound leads and BDR handoffs from your accounts to a clear decision
• →Build proposals and pricing for your deals
• →Stay in touch with longer-term and closed-lost accounts, so the next opportunity is already in motion
• →Keep HubSpot current (we run on real data, not vibes)

People who care about the outcome and are willing to work for it. You’ve seen what happens when staff aren’t prepared, and you want to be the one who fixes it. You’re organized, curious, and persistent. You’d rather earn trust over time than chase a quick win. If you’ve pushed through something hard before, we want to talk.
