Job description

CWF Restoration is a leading force in the restoration industry, and we’re looking for a seasoned business development professional to own and grow our commercial property relationships.

Your focus will be building partnerships with property management companies, facility managers, commercial building owners, asset managers, engineers, and other decision-makers responsible for protecting commercial properties.

Despite the executive-sounding title, this is a hands-on role. You’ll be in the field, building relationships, opening doors, developing accounts, and positioning CWF Restoration as the first call when disaster strikes.

Expect to spend four days a week in the field, meeting decision-makers, visiting properties, attending industry events, conducting account reviews, and building long-term commercial partnerships.

Compensation:

• Base Salary: $90K–$110K
• Uncapped Commission
• OTE: $200K–$300K+ for top performers

You’re a Fit If You:

• Have a background in commercial real estate, property management, construction, restoration, insurance, facilities services, or B2B sales
• Understand how to build relationships with property managers, facility directors, building engineers, ownership groups, and commercial decision-makers
• Walk into a room with confidence, earn trust quickly, and know how to close without relying on the hard sell
• Are comfortable prospecting and developing relationships with both individual properties and large property management portfolios
• Thrive on the road and want to spend 4 days a week actively developing your territory
• Know how to create routes, systems, account plans, and repeatable growth strategies
• Understand that commercial business development is about relationships built before the emergency happens
• Are ready to leave behind small-ball sales roles and build something big
