Director Of Business Development

The Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver has a long tradition of shaping bold thinkers and innovative leaders. As part of a high-achieving community of students, staff, and faculty, we challenge the status quo, drive change, and create impact in an increasingly dynamic world. Daniels is consistently ranked among the nation's top business schools-and is the only business school in Colorado to earn high rankings from BusinessWeek, The Financial Times, U.S. News & World Report, and Forbes. As part of Daniels, DU Executive Education empowers individuals, teams, and organizations to grow and thrive. We deliver intensive, relevant, and research-backed leadership and business upskilling programs designed to fit the pace of today's working professionals. Our one-to-five-day workshops aren't just courses-they're transformational experiences that help individuals lead better, work smarter, and fuel organizational success.

This is your opportunity to build something meaningful. At DU Executive Education, we're looking for a bold, strategic, and mission-driven sales professional to join our entrepreneurial team. As our next Director of Business Development, you won't just sell a product-you'll sell impact. You'll drive access to transformational learning experiences that help professionals grow, organizations thrive, and communities flourish. This is a player-coach role for someone ready to lead from the front. You'll be the primary driver of revenue, overseeing a $1.2M portfolio through both B2C and B2B sales. At the same time, you'll manage and inspire a small but mighty sales and marketing team. Collaborating with, and reporting to, the Executive Director, you'll have the autonomy and authority to act fast, make decisions, and drive real results. If you're looking to step into a leadership role with purpose, balance, and the opportunity to shape the future of executive education in Colorado and beyond, this might be your next big move.
