• Outbound BD team and inbound conversion
• Pricing strategy and packaging for the AI service line ($25–75K/mo retainers, $1M+ anchor accounts)

• Proven experience building and running a BD organization, not just carrying a number
• Fluency in how AI is reshaping buyer research — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews — and the ability to sell into CMOs and General Counsel without a deck crutch
• Track record beats pedigree. Show us the number.

About Florida State University, FSU Hillel, and Tallahassee

Florida State University is a calm, apolitical campus climate where our growing population of nearly 4,000 Jewish students thrive. Our FSU administration strongly supports Jewish students, and our broader Jewish community provides opportunities for our students to learn, connect, and enrich our world. FSU has been rated among the top 25 public universities for the last six consecutive years. Our Hillel success equation blends these three contextual ingredients with our own mission and focus on student engagement, leadership development, and wellness.

The Hillel at FSU team is small, yet mighty. We value empathy, initiative, teamwork, and above all, kindness, and feel deeply about being a healthy, safe environment and community for our staff and students.

Our Hillel serves undergraduate and graduate students and is a home away from home, offering nourishment, safety, and belonging. Hillel at FSU is affiliated with Hillel International and works closely with their professional staff to envision a world where every student is inspired to make an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning, and Israel.

Beyond campus, Tallahassee is a vibrant, welcoming city that pairs the energy of a college town with the warmth of a tight-knit community. With its lush canopy roads, thriving local arts and food scene, and easy access to nearby outdoor adventures, Tallahassee offers a high quality of life that makes it an exceptional place to live, work, and build community.
