Working closely with the architecture, interior design, marketing, and project teams, the Business Development Lead will build strategic relationships, identify opportunities before formal procurement begins, and secure profitable new work.

The ideal candidate is a proven business developer with an established network in British Columbia’s commercial real estate, development, property management, and construction industries. They will have strong sales and negotiation skills, a sound understanding of professional services, and the ability to independently create opportunities and convert relationships into projects.

Client Relationship Management

Build and maintain long-term relationships with existing and prospective clients.
Conduct initial client meetings to understand project requirements, commercial objectives, budgets, schedules, procurement requirements, and decision-making processes.
Work with the architecture, interior design, and project teams to develop appropriate project approaches, scopes of work, fee proposals, and presentations.
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.

Strategic Partnerships and Industry Engagement

Establish and maintain relationships with commercial brokers, developers, architects, engineers, contractors, project managers, property managers, and other industry partners.

Focus on securing sustainable and profitable work aligned with the firm’s expertise and growth objectives.

Support promotional activity through social media, digital marketing, industry organizations, and professional networking platforms.
Identify opportunities to increase the firm’s visibility and credibility in the British Columbia market.
Contribute market and client intelligence to proposal strategies, pursuit planning, and go/no-go decisions.
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.
