Healthcare Operations
Founding Business Development Manager
Job description
Join the 7Nexus Solutions team.
This is an internal role with our agency, not a placement with one of our healthcare clients.
ABOUT 7NEXUS SOLUTIONS :
7Nexus Solutions is a Houston-based boutique healthcare recruiting firm specializing in permanent, direct-hire placements. We partner with home health agencies, hospice providers, hospitals, clinics, and behavioral health organizations to hire registered nurses and other healthcare professionals.
THE ROLE:
We're hiring a Founding Business Development Manager: a proven closer from the staffing and recruiting industry who knows how to turn employer conversations into signed client agreements.
You'll own the full sales cycle, from first conversation to signed agreement, and work directly with our Founder & CEO to grow our client base and build a repeatable sales process. This is a high-impact role with a clear path to Head of Business Development as the agency scales.
This is not an appointment-setting or lead-generation role.
SCHEDULE:
This role begins part-time and transitions to full-time once you close your first qualifying client and demonstrate a consistent track record of results.
COMPENSATION:
Uncapped commission on every client you sign, paid as a percentage of the placement fees collected from your accounts
$6/hour base pay upon transition to full-time, in addition to commission
Performance-based bonuses and pay increases as you grow with us (at company discretion)
A clear path to senior business development leadership
Why the earning potential is real: direct-hire healthcare fees are substantial. A single RN placement at a 20% fee on an $80,000 salary generates a $16,000 placement fee to 7Nexus. You earn a percentage of every fee generated by the clients you bring in. Commission rate, payment timing, and full-time transition criteria are confirmed in a written contractor agreement.
Compensation during the part-time phase is commission-based.
WHY 7NEXUS:
Direct access to the Founder & CEO, with no layers of management
Real ownership of the sales strategy and process
Uncapped earnings tied directly to your results
Ground-floor opportunity to lead business development as we grow
