Director of Business Development, LBM

United StatesOtherRemote
Summary

Leads business development to secure first LBM dealer customers by closing complex deals, refining GTM strategy, and providing customer feedback to product/pricing teams. Requires deep LBM industry knowledge and consultative sales track record in construction tech.

About the role

What You'll Do

  • Identify, qualify, and close Higharc's first wave of LBM dealer customers—the anchor “wins” that prove the model and set the commercial foundation
  • Lead executive-level conversations from initial outreach through contract close, navigating complex deals with multiple stakeholders including dealer CEOs, VP Estimating, and Operations leadership
  • Structure and close both paid development partnerships and commercial agreements
  • Help refine the value proposition, ICP segmentation, and deal structure as the GTM playbook evolves from hypothesis to reality
  • Bring the voice of the LBM customer into product and pricing conversations—translating what you hear in the field into clear, actionable feedback for leadership and the product team
  • Represent Higharc at LBM industry events, dealer conferences, and executive summits to build pipeline and channel credibility

About You

Required:

  • Deep familiarity with LBM dealer operations—estimating workflows, purchasing, margin management, and the competitive dynamics of the channel
  • A track record of closing complex, consultative deals with long cycles and multiple executive decision-makers, ideally in construction technology, building products, or distribution
  • The instincts to identify the right early customers—not just the largest logos—and the discipline to prioritize accordingly
  • Strong executive presence and communication skills that hold up equally well with a VP of Estimating and a CEO in the same room
  • Genuine comfort with ambiguity and the ability to be productive before the playbook is finished; this role will help write the playbook
  • A collaborative orientation—you see working closely with product, GTM, and leadership as essential to winning, not a distraction from selling

Major plus:

  • Existing relationships in the LBM dealer channel
  • Experience working alongside AI or estimating technology platforms

  • Competitive salaries with significant equity
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Unlimited PTO
