What this job involves - JLL's Technical Development Program (TDP) is a commercially licensed enterprise engineering training product - 56 SCORM-ready e-learning modules covering HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire life safety, and critical environments - and JREDD is its named sales arm. The Business Development Manager for TDP is a dedicated hunter responsible for identifying, qualifying, and advancing commercial opportunities for the TDP product family across JLL's priority verticals.
This is a high-autonomy, high-visibility role at the intersection of workforce development, facilities management, and enterprise B2B sales. The right candidate will have a track record closing complex, high-value deals with operational and L&D buyers at large enterprises, a genuine curiosity for how buildings work, and the credibility to earn trust with engineering and HR leaders alike.
JREDD provides the sales engine; JLL's Engineering Center of Excellence delivers. No direct delivery burden sits with this role. Success is measured in signed contracts and pipeline health.
ABOUT THE PRODUCT
The Technical Development Program was built internally by JLL engineers for JLL engineers, then commercialized for the first time in 2025 with external users who needed the same training for their on-site facility managers and engineers.
TDP is the only vendor-neutral, multi-trade, enterprise-ready engineering training curriculum commercially available as a licensable product. There is no competing product.
What is your day-to-day?
Prospecting and Pipeline Development
- Build and maintain a qualified pipeline of TDP opportunities across target verticals, supported by JREDD's existing Salesforce infrastructure and account base

- Partner with JLL account managers and JREDD Business Unit Directors to surface TDP-eligible opportunities within active IFM and managed accounts
Client Engagement and Qualification

- Articulate TDP's value proposition credibly to a range of buyer personas: VP of Facilities, VP of Human Resources, Director of Learning & Development, Chief Engineer, and C-suite
- Navigate multi-stakeholder buying processes common in large enterprises, including procurement, legal, and IT review cycles
Proposal Development and Deal Execution

- Maintain accurate opportunity records in Salesforce per TSSO naming conventions, including stage, value, and probability
- Deliver regular pipeline updates to JREDD leadership as part of the weekly update cadence
- Represent TDP at industry conferences, trade associations (IFMA, BOMA, ASHRAE), and client events where relevant
Market Intelligence
- Monitor competitive developments in enterprise technical training and edtech (OEM training programs, industry body certifications, competitor FM-as-training-product plays)
- Gather and synthesize voice-of-client feedback to inform TDP product roadmap decisions (module additions, pricing model evolution, subscription model development)
QUALIFICATIONS

- Ability to travel up to 30% for client meetings, site visits, and industry events

- Familiarity with facilities management, building systems, or engineering operations - enough to earn credibility with Chief Engineers and VP Facilities buyers
