Business Development Manager

Drive growth. Build relationships. Shape opportunity.

We're looking for a Business Development Manager who sees beyond transactions to build lasting partnerships and doesn't just support growth-they actively create it. This role sits at the center of strategy, relationships, and execution-partnering with leadership and project teams to identify opportunities, open doors, and win work by understanding what truly drives our clients: their vision, challenges, and goals.

If you're energized by connecting the dots between people's ambitions and real opportunities, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where insight becomes action, we'd like to talk. This is a high-impact role with real visibility, driving projects from concept to completion.

What You'll Do:

You'll be a strategic partner to leadership and a relationship catalyst across teams:

• Partner with Business Development Leaders to shape and execute growth strategies
• Conduct market research and translate insights into actionable growth opportunities
• Build and maintain relationships with clients, industry associations, and business networks
• Cultivate opportunities through strategic vendor and subconsultant partnerships
• Partner with Office Leaders and Project Managers to identify and develop new opportunities
• Support the development of proposals, presentations, and RFP submissions
• Work cross-functionally with Marketing and project teams to position winning pursuits
• Identify, evaluate, and attend high-value industry and networking events
• Track and assess ROI on events, recommending where to invest (and where not to)
• Facilitate introductions between clients, partners, and internal teams
• Support project pipeline tracking and site curation efforts
• Serve as a resource and mentor on business development best practices
• Assist in training and elevating BD capabilities across the organization

What You Bring:

• 5+ years of business development or related experience
• Background in AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) or similar professional services (legal, accounting, finance) preferred
• Proven track record in market research, opportunity development, and building lasting client relationships
• Experience with CRM platforms (Microsoft Dynamics preferred)
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to connect authentically across all levels
• Strategic thinking combined with strong execution and follow-through
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the drive to create opportunities and manage competing priorities
• Natural ability to bridge technical and business perspectives across diverse teams
• Genuine curiosity about what motivates clients and drives their decision-making
• Ability to handle confidential information with professionalism
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Civil Engineering, Business, Communications, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Willingness to travel periodically

What Sets You Apart:

• You don't just wait for opportunities-you actively create them
• You innately understand how to turn relationships into revenue-driving opportunities
• You can move seamlessly between strategy and execution
• You bring energy, curiosity, and a genuine interest in the industry

Why This Role:

This is more than a typical business development role-it's a chance to shape strategy, build meaningful industry relationships, and directly drive company growth. You'll collaborate with experienced leaders while having the autonomy to make your vision a reality.
