Robert Half Sales and Business Development Manager in Pontiac, Michigan
Description
Sales & Business Development Manager — Commercial Tree Revenue Program
Would you like to help build and scale a first-of-its-kind, industry-defining commercial program? Are you energized by pioneering new markets, opening entirely new revenue channels, and being early to an idea before the rest of the industry catches on? Are you motivated by direct access to executive leadership and the opportunity to shape a business from its formative stages?
Our client is an industry-leading, high-growth start-up that has created a first-in-market commercial tree revenue model, redefining how mature trees are valued within commercial real estate and land management. As a true pioneer in this space, the company is transforming what was once viewed as a liability into a scalable, monetizable asset—uniting sustainability, preservation, and profitability in a way the market has not seen before.
This is not an incremental improvement on an existing concept. It is a category-creating platform, built by leadership with a bold vision and proven execution.
About the Role
As the Sales & Business Development Manager, you’ll step into a highly visible, growth-critical role with direct exposure to the CEO. You will help define go-to-market strategy, establish commercial standards, and scale a repeatable sales engine for a program that is setting the benchmark for an entirely new segment.
Your mission:
Open new markets, establish early-adopter relationships, and build long-term partnerships that position our client as the unquestioned leader in this emerging industry.
What You’ll Do
Pioneer new client relationships while creatively expanding value within existing accounts
Lead market education efforts around a first-in-class commercial offering
Establish innovative sales targets and execute growth strategies that define industry standards
Identify, structure, and close complex, consultative business opportunities
Build scalable, repeatable sales programs that support rapid national expansion
Educate property owners, developers, and industry leaders on the financial and environmental upside of preserving mature trees
Develop tailored valuations, proposals, and executive-level presentations
Represent the company at industry conferences, trade shows, and executive meetings
Collaborate closely with field teams and external partners to ensure consistent delivery
Act as a thought leader and evangelist for a newly emerging asset class
Deliver creative, solution-oriented approaches in a dynamic, fast-moving environment
- Mission-driven, entrepreneurial culture where innovation is expected and rewarded
5+ years of experience in commercial real estate, property management, landscape sales, or consultative business development
Track record of closing complex, value-based deals in emerging or non-traditional markets
Entrepreneurial mindset with comfort operating in ambiguity
Executive-level communicator with strong presentation skills
Passionate about innovation, sustainability, and building something that has never existed before
Bachelor’s degree preferred
