[Hiring] Business Development Manager @Byrne & Jones

Role Description

Sell With a Portfolio Behind You. Lead growth across Southern Illinois and Southeast Missouri for one of the region’s largest sports builders. We design, build, and self-perform large athletic complexes and parks facilities, so you can offer clients something few competitors can: one team accountable from start to finish, with an award-winning portfolio to prove it.

This is a remote, outside sales role with a high-performing territory and a substantial, uncapped commission plan — the base is only the starting point, and top performers earn well beyond it. It is a great fit for a seasoned business development professional who thrives on complex, multi-stakeholder deals and wants to be rewarded for results.

What You Will Own

• Territory growth: Grow an established territory, prospect consistently, and expand the pipeline.
• Early positioning: Engage on bond issues, capital plans, and park master plans before the RFP is written.
• Full sales cycle: Qualify, pursue, propose, negotiate, and close, making go/no-go decisions early.
• Present to athletic directors, parks directors, superintendents, architects, and boards.
• Design-build value: Show clients the advantage of one team accountable from concept to completion.
• Pursuits and proposals: Lead pursuit teams with Estimating, Design, and Operations through RFQs, RFPs, and public bids.
• Sales goals: Meet and exceed annual targets, with an accurate CRM pipeline and forecast.
• Client relationships: Stay connected through delivery and turn completed projects into referrals and repeat work.

Qualifications

• 5+ years closing complex B2B deals.
• Consistent quota attainment and a history of closing multi-million-dollar deals.
• Credibility with end users, executives, elected boards, and design professionals.
• Self-motivated and comfortable generating your own opportunities.
• Industry knowledge: Ideally, design-build, sports surfacing, turf, or parks sales; a coaching, athletic director, or parks background; relationships in the region.
• Strong time management and CRM habits while working remotely.
• 50–60% in territory, including overnights. Valid driver’s license.

Benefits

• Base salary: $55,000 to $80,000+, based on experience.
• Substantial commission plan: Uncapped, performance-based commission built to reward experienced closers. Your earnings grow with every project you win.
• Vehicle and equipment: Monthly vehicle allowance, fuel and maintenance card, and a company phone.
• Sales support: Marketing and estimating support so you can focus on client relationships.
• Medical, dental, and vision; 401(k) with match; paid time off and holidays.
• Privately owned and growing across the Midwest for more than 50 years.
• Core values, lived: Be an expert. Do the right thing. Preserve reputation. Do whatever it takes. Have mutual trust and respect.
