• Partner with our estimating and production teams to ensure a smooth client experience.
• Track and manage all outreach activity in our CRM.

What You'll Bring

• 1-3 years of business development, B2B sales, or marketing experience preferred (construction, painting, or service industry background a plus).
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Highly self-motivated and organized - able to manage your outreach and schedule independently.
• Tech-friendly and adaptable (CRM, Microsoft Office, mobile tools).
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for local and regional travel.

Compensation & Benefits
