Velocity Outdoor – the company previously known as Crosman Corporation – is searching for a Director of Business Development.
It’s great to see the Bloomfield, New-York-based company continuing to grow and develop people as well as products! HAM believes that this is not a new position but back-filling for an internal promotion. At any event, it’s obviously a very significant position for the company.
