Vessel Welcomes Jesse Oliver, New Business Development Manager, to Accelerate Growth in Vessel’s Expanse in the Manufacturing Consulting Industry

Accelerating Growth!

Boise, Idaho - We’re excited to announce the addition of Jesse Oliver as Business Development Manager at Vessel. With over 10 years of experience driving sales, managing client relationships, and leading recruitment strategy, Jesse brings a proven track record of delivering revenue growth and operational efficiency — a strong fit for Vessel as we continue to scale our impact in our commitment to enhance reshoring of U.S. manufacturing.

A Proven Track Record

Most recently at Tamarack Recruiting, Jesse led business development efforts focused on IT and Accounting roles. He managed the full sales lifecycle — from identifying and qualifying opportunities to negotiating contracts and aligning recruiting efforts with client hiring demands. With deep expertise in platforms like HubSpot, Jesse ensured consistent pipeline visibility, data accuracy, and sales team alignment.

Building Strong Relationships

In previous roles as Account Executive and Recruiting Manager, Jesse built and optimized CRM systems, established scalable outreach processes, and consistently exceeded performance targets. His strategic use of market-focused outreach and candidate-first sales approaches helped drive billing growth from $500K to $1.5M in under two years.

Earlier in Jesse’s career, he excelled at Paylocity, where he quickly advanced to Team Leader, known for his consistency in meeting-setting and authentic outreach volume.

At Vessel, Jesse will lead business development efforts across key manufacturing accounts, working closely with our product and customer success teams to drive adoption, expand partnerships, and align our solutions with the evolving needs of the industry.

“Jesse brings the kind of hands-on sales leadership and process-driven mindset that will help us reach more manufacturing experts with precision and purpose,” said Derik Ellis, CEO. “His ability to connect with people, understand business needs, and translate that into measurable action is exactly what we need as we continue to grow.” - Derik Ellis, CEO

Jesse is a proud Alum from Boise State University where he earned an MA in Communication, and remains passionate about creating meaningful dialogue in every interaction. 

When not working, you can find Jesse spending time with friends, visiting breweries, hiking trails, or snowboarding. He loves the outdoors and spending time with his wonderful wife Alexia, and their border collie-australian shepherd, Alpine.

Please join us in welcoming Jesse to the Vessel team. We’re excited for what’s ahead.
