Business Development Specialist

Bradenton - Sarasota, FL

Employment Type: Permanent Position Function: Sales Job Number: 16784379

Job Description

About Our Client

Our client is a premier general contractor specializing in the exterior envelope of buildings, including structural concrete restoration, waterproofing, and window/door installation for coastal condominiums. Recently acquired by a private equity firm, the company has expanded into a multi-entity platform. They are currently transitioning from a referral-based model to a formalized, unified growth strategy across all platform companies.

The Opportunity

This is a newly created, high-impact role designed to support relationship-driven growth across the entire platform. As the Business Development Specialist, you will be the face of the organization, moving away from traditional digital marketing to focus on outbound relationship-building and market presence. You will have the unique opportunity to help shape the company s growth platform and drive cross-selling initiatives across multiple newly acquired entities.

The Location

Based out of the Bradenton, FL office this role covers the entire state of Florida. You will focus on key markets including:
  • Tampa and Clearwater/St. Pete Beach
  • Fort Myers
  • Orlando/Daytona
  • Jacksonville
  • Miami

What You Will Do

  • Industry Engagement: Represent the organization and its affiliated companies at industry events and associations such as ICRI, BOMA, IREM, and ACI.
  • Relationship Management: Build and maintain strong ties with property managers, consultants, and condo boards.
  • Cross-Selling: Identify and nurture opportunities to sell the full suite of platform services to existing and new clients.
  • Sales Support: Partner with estimators and leadership to track new opportunities, assist with proposals, and conduct follow-up outreach.
  • CRM Discipline: Maintain accurate activity tracking and pipeline reporting within HubSpot to ensure coordination across the platform.

Who You Are

  • Experienced: You have 3-8 years of experience in business development, relationship management, or sales support.
  • Industry Savvy: You ideally come from a background in construction, restoration (specifically concrete, not mold remediation), engineering, or property services.
  • A Natural Networker: You are outgoing, professional, and comfortable representing a brand externally at trade shows and conferences.
  • Organized & Driven: You are a self-starter with strong follow-up skills and the discipline to maintain a CRM.
  • Mobile: You are willing and able to travel frequently throughout Florida to meet with clients and attend events.
The Ideal Candidate is a relationship-focused professional who understands the nuances of the Florida construction and property management market. You are not necessarily "extremely senior" but are looking for a role where you can grow alongside a private-equity-backed organization. You enjoy the "hunt" of building new relationships and the strategy involved in cross-selling diverse services across a unified platform.

Why Join the Team?

  • Competitive Compensation: Base salary (depending on experience) with an aggressive incentive structure including quarterly performance bonuses, project commissions on total contract value, and strategic cross-selling rewards.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Health, dental, vision, 401(k), and PTO.
  • Growth Potential: Be part of a rapidly growing organization with high visibility to executive leadership, including the CEO and CFO.
  • Supportive Environment: Collaborate with internal teams and external marketing partners who are invested in your success.

Brittany Struble
National Talent Acquisition Recruiter

Brittany Struble brings more than eight years of recruiting and executive search experience to Naviga, partnering with clients nationwide to deliver thoughtful, well-matched talent solutions across a wide range of industries. Her background spans Sales, Education, Financial Services, Legal, Construction, IT and Education with a functional focus on Leadership, C-Suite, Finance/CFO, and Administrative roles.

Brittany began her recruiting career in Special Education staffing on a national scale, where precision, empathy, and compliance were essential. She later joined AppleOne, a professional services staffing agency, where she supported clients throughout Florida, Georgia, New York, Hawaii, and beyond. This broad foundation allows her to approach every search with a well-rounded perspective and a deep understanding of both regional and national hiring dynamics.

At the core of Brittany’s approach is authenticity and transparency. She believes successful placements start with truly understanding a client’s business objectives and a candidate’s motivations, then aligning both sides with intention and care. By tailoring each search to the specific needs of the organization, Brittany focuses on creating placements that drive long-term success—not just short-term hires.

Throughout her career, Brittany has led several complex and rewarding searches, including a Controller role for a prestigious hospital group requiring specialized finance and healthcare expertise, and a Director of Operations search within the legal sector that demanded experience in legal operations and trust-related regulations. These engagements reinforced her belief that market knowledge, precision, and proactive communication are critical in today’s competitive hiring landscape.

Brittany sees one of the biggest challenges companies face in attracting top executive talent as understanding the market and the evolving priorities of today’s workforce. She helps clients overcome this by staying closely connected to candidates, monitoring market data, and continuously assessing how shifts in generational values and expectations influence hiring decisions.

What Brittany enjoys most about her role is the opportunity to create lasting, meaningful matches—helping organizations advance their initiatives while giving individuals the opportunity to grow, thrive, and feel fulfilled in their careers. She is a strong believer in continuous learning and accountability, approaching every search with curiosity and a commitment to excellence.

In addition to her recruiting work, Brittany has delivered presentations on generational dynamics in the workforce, helping organizations better understand how to position themselves to attract and retain talent across all age groups. She is also an active member of the Suncoast ALA and the Pasco Chamber of Commerce.

Outside of work, Brittany enjoys reading and writing, pursuits that reflect her thoughtful, reflective nature. She is deeply guided by the belief that every interaction leaves an echo, and she approaches her work and life with the intention of making a positive, lasting impact. Brittany has volunteered with soup kitchens across the five boroughs of New York, supported Feeding Tampa Bay, and contributed to various nonprofit organizations.
