Business Development and Growth Specialist - Printing

ZT Labels is a division within the Zippertubing family of companies, providing practical identification products for a wide range of industries and applications.

For more than 50 years, ZT Labels and the ZipTape® Label I.D. System have provided systems and solutions for the identification and management of wire and cable. Our products support diverse markets, including wire and cable management, medical, cable ties, and other specialized identification needs.

As a smaller and growing business backed by an established company, we offer the best of both worlds: Stability + the opportunity to help build and grow something.

Leadership is willing to invest in new equipment and capabilities when there is a strong opportunity to expand the business. We're looking for someone with ambition, ideas, and commercial mindset to help us identify those opportunities.

This hands-on role combines business development, customer engagement, marketing strategy, and commercial problem-solving.

• Identify new customers, industries, applications, and opportunities for growth.
• Develop strategies to generate leads, increase brand awareness, and grow revenue.
• Bring ideas and recommendations for improving our website, digital presence, and customer experience.
• Explore opportunities in SEO, digital marketing, email campaigns, LinkedIn outreach, direct marketing, and lead generation.
• Build relationships with prospective and existing customers through phone, email, virtual meetings, and in-person visits.
• Ask questions to understand customer applications and identify opportunities where ZT Labels products can provide value.
• Research markets, customer segments, and new applications for our products.
• Work closely with Operations and Production to ensure growth opportunities align with our capabilities.
• Gather customer and market insights and share recommendations with leadership.

You won't be expected to personally design or code a website or create every marketing asset. We're looking for someone who can bring ideas, help define priorities, and work with internal and external resources to turn opportunities into action.

• 4+ years of relevant experience in Business Development, Sales, Marketing, Account Management, Market Development, Commercial Growth, Product Marketing
• A solid understanding of the following:

• Experience in label manufacturing, label printing, converting, industrial products, wire and cable, medical products, identification products, or engineered products is highly valuable.

In a smaller business, your ideas don't get lost in layers of corporate approvals. You'll have the opportunity to work closely with leadership and directly influence how we reach customers and grow.

We're not looking for someone to simply maintain the status quo. We want someone who enjoys identifying opportunities, bringing forward ideas, and helping turn them into results.

Join an established business with more than 50 years of history and the backing of the Zippertubing family of companies—while helping grow an important part of the business.

This role begins as an individual contributor working alongside Operations and Production leadership, with significant opportunity to take on increasing responsibility and potentially grow into a leadership role as the business expands.

If you're entrepreneurial, commercially minded, enjoy building customer relationships, and want the opportunity to help shape the future of a growing business, we'd love to hear from you.
