Affiliate Partnerships – Business Development / Sales Role - The Accredited Group - Melville

The Accredited Group (TAG) is seeking a high-level business development and sales professional to support and grow the sales side of our affiliate partnership channel.
This role is focused on managing existing affiliate relationships while actively working their deals through the funding process, ensuring strong execution, partner satisfaction, and consistent revenue growth.
This is an in-office, relationship-driven sales role working closely with CPAs, bankers, business consultants, payroll providers, and other professional advisors who refer small to mid-sized business owners.

📍 Location
1 Huntington Quadrangle, Melville, NY

This is a mandatory in-office role. We believe speed of execution, collaboration, and culture are built in person.

This Role Is NOT For Everyone
We are not looking for order-takers or individuals who require constant direction.
We are looking for people with:

• An undying internal drive to succeed
• A self-starting mindset with disciplined execution
• Coachability and ability to implement feedback quickly
• Strong relationship-building instincts and emotional intelligence
• A competitive, performance-driven mentality
• Comfort operating in a fast-paced, accountability-based sales environment

If you need structure to perform, this is not the right fit.

Ideal Candidate Background (Helpful, Not Required)
While not required, strong candidates often come from:

• Business lending (SBA, MCA, equipment finance, or commercial lending)
• Banking or credit underwriting
• Financial services or B2B sales
• Mortgage or real estate lending
• High-performance, relationship-based sales environments

Experience in these areas is helpful — but we prioritize drive, coachability, and execution ability over title or background.

What You Will Step Into

• A nationwide network of 1,000+ affiliate partners, with several hundred actively producing opportunities
• A fine-tuned CRM and automation infrastructure designed to streamline outreach, follow-up, and partner engagement
• An established referral-based sales system with consistent deal flow
• Direct access to leadership, underwriting, and execution teams
• A platform built for scale, speed, and consistent production

What You Will Do

• Manage and grow existing affiliate partner relationships
• Work incoming partner deals from submission through funding
• Increase partner production through consistent engagement and communication
• Develop new strategic affiliate relationships nationwide
• Represent TAG at local networking events, chambers of commerce, and industry associations
• Educate partners on SBA, working capital, equipment financing, and commercial lending solutions
• Collaborate directly with underwriting, sales, and leadership to execute deals efficiently

💰 Compensation

• Competitive base salary + commission structure
• Strong sales professionals have the ability to earn six figures in year one, with significant upside beyond that based on performance
• 401(k) eligibility after 90 days

Why TAG
This is not a job — it is a performance seat inside a scaling sales infrastructure with real deal flow, real partners, and real execution support.
You will step into an established system designed for speed, accountability, and long-term growth.
