Now, we're ready to write the next chapter of our growth story.

The Role

We're looking for a Director of Business Development to lead new growth initiatives and shape our national sales strategy. This role is built for a seasoned, entrepreneurial sales professional who thrives on uncovering opportunities, creating partnerships, and positioning premium products in the design and building space.

• Drive specification opportunities, positioning Creative Mines as the material partner of choice for high-end projects.
• Collaborate with the executive leadership team on product line expansion and market positioning.
• Represent Creative Mines as an industry leader, presenting a professional brand with authenticity and respect for meaningful customer relationships.
• Build and manage a nationwide pipeline with measurable growth and conversion goals.

Who You Are

• A hunter - not a gatherer, energized by opening new doors and closing big opportunities.
• 10+ years of business development or sales leadership in the home/building industry.
• Deep familiarity with high-end, non-commodity building materials (stone, tile, brick, appliances, interior finishes, design products, etc.).
• Proven track record of expanding markets, creating partnerships, and driving new channel growth.
• A strategic thinker who executes with creativity, urgency, and discipline, with a strong sense of curiosity.
• Entrepreneurial, self-motivated, and comfortable in a semi-remote, national role.
• Highly results-driven!

Compensation

• Base Salary: $120k - $140k based on experience and qualifications
• Variable Comp: $30k - $50k target contingent on sales results to goal

Standard Requirements

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, or related field (MBA preferred but not required).
• Technology: Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, PowerBI) and CRM systems (Dynamics, Salesforce, or similar).
• Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.
• Travel: Willingness to travel nationally (25%+).

Why Join Creative Mines

At Creative Mines, you'll be part of an experienced executive team rewriting what's possible in the high-design masonry industry. This is your chance to help shape a unique brand and company culture from the inside out and have your fingerprints on its growth story.
