Overview

WALTER is seeking a highly motivated and results-driven Business Development

Executive to develop its clean-out, relocation, and recycling services for

organizations seeking to dispose of unwanted materials securely and responsibly.

You will lead new business development, build strategic partnerships, manage the

full sales cycle, and close deals. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will play a key

role in driving revenue growth and expanding WALTER’s client base.

About Us

WALTER is an environmental recycling social enterprise with a dual mission:

  • To have a positive environmental impact through responsible recycling of materials.
  • To create job opportunities for young adults facing barriers to employment in Brownsville, Brooklyn.

What You’ll Do

  • Identify and build trusted relationships with office managers, operations leaders, facilities teams, and property managers responsible for office, warehouse, or retail clean-outs, relocations, or reorganizations.
  • Position WALTER as a single-source partner for the responsible removal, recycling, and redistribution of unwanted materials.
  • Manage the entire sales process — from prospecting and lead qualification through proposal, negotiation, closing, and ongoing account management.
  • Develop customized service proposals for clean-out, decommissioning, and recycling projects that meet each client’s operational needs and sustainability goals.
  • Stay alert to upcoming moves, office closures, and renovation projects to anticipate client demand.
  • Grow existing accounts through repeat projects and referrals, ensuring long-term client satisfaction and partnership.
  • Collaborate with the CEO to refine go-to-market strategies targeting SMBs, property managers, office managers, and sustainability teams across multiple sectors.
  • Represent WALTER at local and industry events, networking with facilities, logistics, and sustainability professionals.
  • Maintain CRM accuracy, pipeline visibility, and performance reporting.
  • Meet and exceed quarterly sales and client satisfaction targets.

What We're Looking For

  • 3–5 years of B2B experience (commercial real estate services, construction, facilities management, or environmental services a plus).
  • Strong pipeline management, negotiation, and closing skills.
  • Ability to work autonomously, prioritize effectively, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Passion for environmental and social impact; startup or sustainability experience is a plus.

  • Securing partnerships with key clients and strategic partners across NYC.
  • Consistently achieving quarterly activity and revenue goals.
  • Demonstrating a strong alignment between business growth and WALTER’s social and environmental impact.
