BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER

Vancouver, WA | Reports to: General Manager | $135,000 – $175,000 (base + performance incentives)

The Fordy Group has partnered with a well-established General Contractor to support their expansion into Southwest Washington.

Help plant the flag in a growing market. Your network, their commitment to getting it right.

This is not a role for someone who wants to cold-call through a list. We are looking for a true connector, someone who already has strong relationships with developers, architects, and partners across the Vancouver and Portland metro area, and who is ready to leverage that network to build something meaningful.

If you have been waiting for the right opportunity to make an impact with your connections, this is it.

Why This Role Is Different

End-to-end involvement

You will not just generate leads. You will stay engaged from first introduction through to project delivery, seeing your work come to life.

Market builder

This is a growth role. You will play a key part in shaping how our client establishes and builds their presence in Southwest Washington.

Proven foundation

• Develop and execute a strategy to grow our client's presence in Vancouver and Southwest Washington
• Represent the business at client meetings, industry events, and within the local community
• Identify and pursue new opportunities through your network, referrals, and market insight
• Collaborate with estimating, project management, and leadership teams to develop winning proposals
• Maintain client relationships throughout the full project lifecycle
• Build and strengthen relationships with developers, architects, and key stakeholders

Who You Are

• 5+ years' experience in business development, marketing, or client relations (construction or real estate preferred)
• Strong existing network within the Vancouver/Portland market
• Experienced in consultative, relationship-driven sales (not transactional)
• Confident communicator with the ability to build trust and influence
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Construction Management, or similar
• Experience using CRM systems (Microsoft Dynamics preferred)

Bonus Points

• Established network within the Southwest Washington and Portland construction market
• Familiarity with Procore or similar project management tools
• Understanding of multifamily and commercial construction

What's On Offer

• Competitive base salary: $135,000 – $175,000 (depending on experience)
• Performance-based incentives aligned to your success
• Comprehensive benefits package: medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with company match, life insurance
• Clear opportunities for progression within a growing organisation
