Job Description

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER

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

Help us plant the flag in Southwest Washington. Your network, our commitment to getting it right.

We are not looking for someone to cold-call their way through a contact list. We need a connector. Someone who already knows the developers, architects, and partners in the Vancouver and Portland metro area and who wants to help a proven GC establish roots in a new market. If you have been waiting for the right opportunity to take your network and do something meaningful with it, this is it.

Why This Role Is Different

  • You are not just sourcing leads: Our BD team stays involved from first handshake to project closeout. You will see your work come to life.
  • Market builder: This is not about maintaining. It is about growing. You will help shape how Deacon shows up in Southwest Washington.
  • Backed by 40+ years: You get the credibility of a proven GC with the energy of a team that is building something new.
  • People first culture: We know each other here. We celebrate wins together. That is not a tagline; it is how we operate.

What You Will Actually Do

  • Develop and execute the strategy to grow Deacon's presence in Vancouver and Southwest Washington
  • Represent Deacon at client meetings, industry events, and in the community
  • Identify and pursue new opportunities through your network, referrals, and market research
  • Partner with estimating, project management, and leadership to build winning proposals
  • Stay connected with clients throughout the project lifecycle, not just at the front end
  • Build and maintain relationships with developers, architects, and community partners

Who You Are

  • 5+ years in business development, marketing, or client relations (construction or real estate preferred)
  • You have real relationships in the Vancouver/Portland market, not just LinkedIn connections
  • You understand consultative, relationship-based sales (not transactional)
  • Strong communicator who can hold a room and build trust
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Construction Management, or related field
  • Experience with CRM systems (we use Microsoft Dynamics)

Bonus Points

  • Established network in Southwest Washington and the Portland metro construction community
  • Familiarity with Procore or similar project management tools
  • Knowledge of multifamily and commercial construction processes

What We Offer

  • Competitive base salary: $135,000 - $175,000 depending on experience
  • Performance-based incentives tied to your success
  • Full benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with company match, life insurance
  • A company that promotes from within and invests in your growth

About Deacon

What sets us apart is simple: we actually know each other. We celebrate wins together. We care about people, not just projects. Our Women's Resource Group, Deacon Charitable Foundation, and commitment to promoting from within are not talking points. They are how we do business.

If you want to help build something real in a new market with a company that has your back, let's talk.
