Job description

Playground Sales & Business Development Representative

Build the Places Where Communities Come to Play

We’re growing across Iowa and looking for a driven, relationship-focused Sales & Business Development Representative to join our team. Our company designs and delivers imaginative play and recreation spaces — from playgrounds and parks to outdoor classrooms and community gathering areas.

This is an opportunity to combine sales, purpose, and creativity. You’ll help schools, municipalities, and organizations turn ideas into safe, inspiring environments where people connect, grow, and play.

What You’ll Do

Lead and grow your territory across K-12 schools, early learning centers, and higher-education campuses.

Build long-term partnerships through networking, referrals, and proactive outreach.

Collaborate with landscape architects, park directors, and facility managers to develop projects from concept to completion.

Guide clients through design and product selection, ensuring each project meets safety, aesthetic, and budget goals.

Prepare and present proposals that are creative, competitive, and aligned with client needs.

Partner closely with in-house design, marketing, and operations teams to ensure every project runs smoothly and professionally.

What You Bring

Proven success in sales, business development, or client relationship management.

Experience in construction, landscape architecture, recreation, or education is a plus — but not required.

Strong communication and presentation skills with the ability to build trust and rapport quickly.

Self-starter mindset with excellent organization and time-management abilities.

Comfortable making cold calls, attending community events, and networking with decision-makers.

Proficiency with Microsoft Office and CRM tools.

Willingness to travel across Iowa to build relationships and represent the company.

Why You’ll Love It Here

Purpose with impact: Help design spaces where children learn, communities connect, and memories are made.

Autonomy with support: Enjoy the freedom to manage your own schedule backed by a responsive, creative home office team.

Career growth: Clear path toward senior sales consultant or territory management roles.

Compensation: Base salary plus commission — realistic mid-six-figure potential with no cap.

Medical, dental, and vision insurance

401(k) with company match

Paid time off

Professional development and certification support
