Job Description

Shape the future of Automation—Together

At Mission Design & Automation, we believe great automation starts with listening. As a Business Development Manager , you’ll be at the forefront of expanding our reach—building relationships, identifying opportunities, and working side-by-side with our engineering team to deliver automation systems that create real impact. We’re looking for someone who thrives on uncovering needs, connecting the dots, and developing long-term partnerships built on trust.

What You’ll Do

  • Discover and Develop Opportunities

Build strong relationships with customers, asking the right questions to understand their operations and challenges.

  • Collaborate to Create Solutions
  • Partner with our talented engineering team to concept custom automation systems that deliver measurable ROI and reflect our high standards.

  • Lead the Customer Journey
  • Guide customers from first contact through post-installation follow-up with clear, honest communication at every step.

  • Drive Growth Through Trust
  • Earn repeat business and referrals through responsiveness, transparency, and a customer-first mindset.

  • Stay Curious, Keep Learning
  • Bring market insights and new ideas back to the team to help shape our offerings and approach.

  • Be There in Person
  • On-site visits are key to understanding customer operations and earning trust. Travel is part of the job.

    What You Bring

  • A humble, curious approach to solving problems and building partnerships
  • 3+ years in custom automation, preferably with concepting or design / build experience
  • Strong communication skills—whether it's a sketch on a napkin, a CAD model, or a conversation
  • A technical foundation (engineering or machine design background is a plus)
  • A self-starter mindset with follow-through, attention to detail, and customer-first thinking
  • Comfort with Microsoft Office and CRM tools
  • Why Mission?

  • We’re a West Michigan team of thinkers, builders, and problem-solvers who care about our craft and each other.
  • You’ll join a culture that values quality, humility, and teamwork over ego.
  • We don’t chase shiny things—we build long-term relationships and do right by our customers.
  • Your voice matters here. We’re growing, and we want people who want to grow with us.
  • If you’re excited about this role, but don't check every box – apply anyway. We understand that you might bring strengths and perspectives we haven’t thought of yet. We’re more interested in the right mindset than a perfect resume—so if you’re curious, collaborative, and committed to doing great work, we’d love to hear from you.
