Business Development Specialist Los Angeles

Los Angeles, CA | Field-based with US travel | Full-time We sell a custom Japanese-made architectural batten and cladding system into the top end of the US market. Our product is seen on luxury homes in premier locations such as Miami Beach, Brentwood, Malibu, and San Diego. We need a BDM who already knows how to sell a specified, premium building product to architects, designers and builders, and who can also build out our Multi Line Rep network across the US. About Covet Covet is the exclusive partner for Ever Art Wood, a precision timber-look aluminium batten and cladding system made to order in Japan. We compete against European imports on precision, customisation and lead time, and we win on service. Our clients are the architects, designers and builders behind statement residential and blue-chip commercial projects. The role Two jobs in one, and both matter. Own the LA territory. Build and hold a pipeline of architects, interior designers, developers and high-end builders. Get Ever Art Wood specified early and protect the specification through to order. Run site visits with builders and installers, deliver presentations and design consultations, negotiate project pricing with internal support, and represent Covet at design events. Keep it all clean in our Zoho CRM. Our proposals team backs you with shop drawings, product detailing and full logistics support. Build the rep network. Identify, sign, train and support Multi Line Reps in the A&D channel across US territories. This means regular travel beyond LA to get new reps established and productive, then ongoing support so their specifications convert. Who this suits You have sold a specified or premium building product. Facades, cladding, joinery, architectural hardware, premium surfaces. You understand specification-driven sales: long cycles, multiple stakeholders, and the difference between getting specified and getting bought. You are credible with design professionals and high-net-worth clients. Experience managing or working alongside independent reps is a strong advantage. A genuine interest in contemporary architecture is not optional here, it is the job. Industry experience matters more to us than a degree. #J-18808-Ljbffr Covet Global
