Business Development Manager - Restoration

Overview

You'll work directly with the owner to help build one of the fastest-growing restoration companies in the region. You'll have the ability to influence marketing strategies, referral programs, and business development initiatives instead of simply following a corporate script. At Lightspeed Restoration, we're building the premier restoration company on Philadelphia's Main Line.

• Introduce our company and position us as a reliable, go-to vendor
• Stay in consistent contact with partners and remain top-of-mind
• Generate mitigation and reconstruction opportunities through your network and outreach

This role is about earning long-term partnerships, not transactional selling. Success in this role means becoming the trusted restoration resource for insurance professionals, plumbers, property managers, and real estate professionals throughout the Main Line and Greater Philadelphia area.
