Maintain consistent follow-up with prospective clients and move qualified opportunities toward engagement and contract award.
Support a professional and responsive client experience throughout the business development process.
Maintain relationships after project handoff to encourage repeat assignments, referrals, and broader account development.

Help communicate the firm’s capabilities, sector experience, and value proposition consistently across business development and marketing activities.

Internal Coordination and Reporting

Work closely with architects, interior designers, project managers, estimators, marketing staff, and senior management to support pursuits and ensure smooth project handoffs.
Maintain accurate client, contact, opportunity, and follow-up records using the firm’s CRM and business development systems.
