Build Your Career & Your Community: Business Development Specialist

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Total Autonomy: You aren’t a cog in a machine. You’ll manage your own daily schedule, hosting lunch‑and‑learns, attending networking events, and building real relationships.
• The "Feel Good" Factor: You’re selling peace of mind. When disaster strikes (fire, water, mold), you are the hero who connects people with the help they need.
• Career Roadmap: We don’t just offer a job; we offer career progression. We invest in your professional development and want to see you level up.
• Competitive Perks: Great base + superior benefits, and a team culture that actually supports you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Networking Pro: Be the face of SERVPRO at local associations and community events.
• Relationship Architect: Conduct daily marketing calls to build a "ride or die" network of insurance agents and property managers.
• Storyteller: Educate the community on why SERVPRO is the #1 choice for restoration.
• Data-Driven Growth: Use modern marketing software to track your wins and report on your territory’s success.

What You Bring to the Table

• The Hustle: At least 2 years of direct sales experience (experience in insurance or restoration is a huge plus, but we value grit and personality).
• Communication Skills: You’re as comfortable in a 1-on-1 coffee meeting as you are presenting to a room of 20 people.
• Tech Savvy: You know your way around a CRM and marketing tools.
• The Basics: A degree in Marketing/Business (or equivalent life experience), a clean background check, and the ability to be active on your feet.
