Job Title:Independent Business Development Representative - Construction Media

Compensation:100% Commission-Based ($20,000 - $60,000+ per year expected)

About Vaavak

Vaavak provides specialized construction visual documentation services across Metro Vancouver, supporting builders, contractors, and developers in capturing the full story of their projects from start to finish.

We focus on building smart content systems tailored to site workflows rather than producing standalone media. By combining high-resolution long-term timelapse, aerial drone footage, progress photography, and industrial video production, we give our clients assets that are structured, searchable, and optimized for both engineering oversight and marketing needs.

The Role

We are looking for an independent Business Development Representative to generate new B2B opportunities. Your primary goal is to identify relevant companies with active or upcoming construction projects, connect with decision-makers, and arrange introductory meetings.

This is a highly collaborative partnership: you focus on relationship-building and opening doors, and Vaavak will support the back-end of the sales process.

• Identify developers, general contractors, construction managers, and builders with upcoming projects in Metro Vancouver.
• Conduct proactive outreach through email, LinkedIn, phone, and your existing professional network.
• Introduce Vaavak's media services and qualify opportunities.
• Arrange introductory meetings or site visits with interested prospects.
• Maintain organized records of leads, follow-ups, and pipeline status.

How We Support You (Vaavak's Focus)

To ensure you can focus purely on business development, our team will handle the heavy lifting on the technical side. Once you bring a qualified prospect to the table, Vaavak takes the lead on:

• Technical consultations and site-specific camera requirements.
• Preparing formal proposals and service agreements.
• Final pricing negotiations.
• Equipment, installation, and production planning.

The Ideal Candidate

• Demonstrated experience in B2B sales, lead generation, or business development.
• Knowledge of—or strong interest in—the construction, development, architecture, engineering, or real estate sectors.
• Existing relationships within the Metro Vancouver construction industry are a major advantage.
• Self-directed and comfortable managing your own prospecting strategy independently.
• Clear, confident communicator who understands relationship-based selling.

Territory

The primary focus is Metro Vancouver (Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, Surrey, North/West Vancouver, Langley, etc.). Opportunities elsewhere in British Columbia may also be considered.
