About this role

Responsibilities

Core Responsibilities

New business

- Generate new business with single-family and townhome builders across the Indianapolis metro, from first contact through awarded work

- Build and work a target list of local and regional production, custom, and townhome builders

- Lay the groundwork for multifamily growth with general contractors and developers once the single-family base is stable

Account growth and re-engagement

- Re-engage former builder clients alongside ownership, presenting the operational improvements Allied has made

- Grow current accounts into new communities and additional scopes of work

- Widen the active builder base so no single account carries an outsized share of revenue

- Spend meaningful time at communities and job sites, building credibility with superintendents and staying current on schedules and upcoming starts

- Hand off each awarded job to the Residential or Multifamily field team with scope, schedule, and builder contacts confirmed

Pricing and proposals

- Support pricing so every proposal meets our clients margin standards, and walk away from work that does not

Pipeline and reporting

- Log every call, visit, bid request, and follow-up in the company CRM the same day

- Keep stage, estimated value, and expected award date current on every open opportunity

- Report weekly activity and pipeline to the VP and ownership
