# Director of Client Development and Strategic Partnerships (Sales) **Addition Building & Design** · Sherman Oaks, CA 91403 · `On-site` 🕒 **Статус:** *Опубликовано: сегодня* · *Источник: Indeed* --- ### About the Role Addition Building & Design / ABD Build Sherman Oaks, CA (serving greater Los Angeles) | Full-Time | In Office | Senior Leadership Base Salary: $130,000 to $150,000 | Target Total Compensation: $220,000 to $310,000+ This is a sales role. We are hiring one person to bring in signed construction contracts. You will open relationships across the Los Angeles luxury residential market, stay with those relationships through the months or years it takes a custom home to become real, and convert them into pre-construction agreements and construction contracts. You will carry a number, manage a pipeline, and report on both. This is not a marketing, brand, communications, or content position. Marketing supports this role. If your experience is in campaigns, social media, events production, or collateral rather than in sourcing and closing business, this is not the right fit. About Addition Building & Design Addition Building & Design is a Los Angeles luxury residential design-build firm specializing in custom homes, hillside homes, whole-home remodels, high-end additions, and fire rebuilds. Design, engineering, pre-construction planning, permitting, estimating, and construction happen under one coordinated process, with one team accountable for the result. We are family owned. Mike Ross, Founder and CEO, has over 40 years of award-winning work behind him. His daughter, Christine Ross, Managing Partner, leads business development and marketing.

How success is measured Performance will be evaluated through measurable KPIs: new qualified relationships and strategic partnerships developed, architect and designer relationships established, qualified opportunities generated, pipeline value, new client meetings, pre-construction agreements, construction contracts, signed contract value attributable to business development, revenue, conversion rate, referral and repeat business, and growth within ABD's priority markets. The expectation is not simply activity. The expectation is measurable business growth. You will set measurable targets with ownership and report against them on a regular cadence.
