Our client is hiring its first dedicated Business Development Representative to build the company's business development function and grow profitable, long-term builder relationships across the Indianapolis market. Reporting to the Vice President and working directly with ownership, this representative opens new builder accounts, re-engages former clients, and expands current accounts into new communities. Single-family and townhome builders come first, with multifamily general contractors following once that base is stable. Our client competes on reliability instead of price, and the right candidate knows how to sell schedule certainty and fewer callbacks while protecting margin. Pay combines a base salary with uncapped commission, and the role carries a company vehicle for use during working hours.
