From the employer
About Designblendz
Designblendz is a multidisciplinary design and technology firm operating at the intersection of the built environment and advanced technology. Our capabilities include Architecture, Interior Design, 3D Visualization, BIM and Coordination, Construction Logistics Visualization, Realtour immersive platform, and emerging technology-enabled services.
We work with developers, owners, contractors, institutions, designers, and real estate professionals nationwide.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a Business Development Manager to generate new business, build relationships, expand existing accounts, and help grow a repeatable business-development engine for Designblendz.
This is a relationship-driven sales role. We're looking for someone who enjoys opening doors, building a network, uncovering opportunities, following up consistently, and turning relationships into revenue.
You don't need to be an architect or technical expert. Your job is to understand our capabilities, identify where we can help a client, and bring the right Designblendz experts into the conversation.
What You'll Do
- Identify and pursue new clients and project opportunities.
- Build relationships with developers, owners, GCs, brokers, institutions, architects, consultants, and other AEC professionals.
- Proactively prospect and create conversations with key decision-makers.
- Identify opportunities before they reach the formal RFP stage.
- Build strategic referral relationships.
- Attend industry events, conferences, project tours, and client meetings.
- Re-engage past clients and expand existing relationships.
- Qualify opportunities and coordinate internal technical resources.
- Maintain an organized CRM and sales pipeline.
- Coordinate with our team on proposals and presentations.

Who We're Looking For
The ideal candidate is entrepreneurial, relationship-oriented, persistent, organized, and accountable for results.
Experience in business development, sales, commercial real estate, architecture, engineering, construction, or professional services is preferred. An existing AEC or real estate network is a plus.
You should be comfortable initiating conversations, developing relationships with decision-makers, managing a pipeline, and being measured against revenue goals.
Why Designblendz
Rather than selling one narrow service, you'll represent a broad platform of design and technology capabilities serving the entire real estate lifecycle. You'll work directly with company leadership and have significant autonomy to build relationships, pursue opportunities, and help shape the next stage of Designblendz's growth.
Designblendz is an equal opportunity employer. Employment decisions are based on qualifications, merit, and business needs.
