This could also be SOC 3556 (Sales accounts and business development managers, Sales accounts and business development managers also fit this business development role) or SOC 3552 (Business sales executives, Business sales executives secure new business and develop relationships). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
