Own new business development and sell project management services to community association boards. Build pipelines, deliver presentations, close engagements, and oversee awarded construction and repair projects from scope through completion. Coordinate contractors, budgets, schedules, payments, and compliance while advising boards and property managers. Provide occasional after-hours support and assist with maintenance team oversight.
The Role
This role owns new business development for the company's project management services. You'll build relationships with community association boards, deliver sales presentations, and close new project engagements. Once a project is won, you'll oversee it from scope definition through completion, working closely with contractors and the association's management team. This is a hybrid sales-and-delivery role: your ability to sell and communicate is the primary driver of success, with construction fluency as the tool that earns trust and lets you speak credibly to scope, timeline, and cost.
