Commercial Construction Business Development VP
Full Time $125,000 - $175,000 / yearJob Overview
Vice President of Business Development
A fast-moving, relationship-driven commercial construction firm based in the Philadelphia area is seeking a Vice President of Business Development. Operating as a full-service General Contractor, we specialize in construction management across the Eastern Seaboard, focusing on projects ranging from $1M to $10M.
This is a high-impact, "rainmaker" role designed for an entrepreneurial leader. You will begin as a senior individual contributor tasked with immediate revenue generation, eventually building and leading a scalable sales organization as you progress on a defined path toward company ownership and succession.
The Role: Rainmaker → Builder → Future Owner
The primary objective of this position is to accelerate our growth from $25M to over $50M in annual revenue. We are not looking for a traditional "sales manager," but rather a hunter who can leverage deep, transferable commercial construction relationships to secure new business immediately.
Key Responsibilities
- Drive Immediate Revenue: Personally generate a minimum of $10M in new deal volume annually.
- Strategic Execution: Develop and articulate a credible 30/60/90-day plan to secure "low-hanging fruit" and near-term wins.
- Build the Infrastructure: Following initial traction, recruit and lead a high-performing sales team to scale the organization.
- Partnership Management: Partner closely with owners, developers, architects, and engineers across the full project lifecycle.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
You are a competitive, owner-minded professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is more interested in building a long-term legacy than maximizing a title.
- Experience: Currently or recently active as a senior BD leader in commercial construction, ideally having carried a personal revenue number.
- Network: Possesses deep, transferable relationships within the industry.
- Project Expertise: Familiarity with tilt-panel warehouses, industrial facilities, mid-rise commercial buildings (up to 10 stories), retail developments, and assisted living facilities.
- Background: Candidates from larger GCs who are accustomed to $1M–$10M projects but desire more autonomy and equity potential are highly encouraged to apply.
- Exclusion: Please note that experience primarily focused on high-rise construction will not translate well to our project focus.
