Workforce Development Manager

HIRING: Workforce Development Manager /Account Manager /Engagement Manager (Employer Partnerships Job Development Placements)

Hybrid in the Wilmington, North Carolina Area | Residential Construction Workforce | High-Impact, Relationship-Driven Role

Building Talent Foundation (BTF) is growing — and we’re looking for a dynamic, relationship-driven Engagement Manager to help builders and trade contractors hire the skilled talent they need to keep building America’s homes.

If you thrive on outreach, partnerships, sales, and making a measurable difference, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

As BTF’s primary employer-facing leader, you will:

Build relationships with builders & trade contractors

Meet hiring managers, superintendents, shop leaders, HR teams — and become their go-to talent partner.

Secure job vacancies & hiring commitments

Drive employer outreach, obtain open roles, understand project needs, and deliver job orders to our recruiting team.

Match vetted candidates to real jobs

Work with a Recruiting Coordinator who sources & screens candidates — you make the match, manage interviews, and close the hire.

Deliver consistent placements

Ensure employers continue hiring, month after month. Turn one-time contacts into long-term partners.

Develop meaningful relationships

With schools, employers, candidates, and other experts in the workforce development community.

This is a sales account management placement role — not a sourcing role.

You’re a Great Fit If You:

• Have 5–10 years in sales, business development, staffing, job development, or employer partnerships
• Love meeting people, making connections, and closing commitments
• Are disciplined, persistent, and energized by outreach targets
• Enjoy seeing your work turn into real jobs for real people
• Know how to build trust with decision-makers
• Are organized, professional, and strong with follow-through
• Experience in construction, staffing, or military recruiting = big plus

Why This Work Matters

Residential construction faces massive workforce shortages — over 400,000 open roles nationwide.

Your work helps:

✔ Builders and contractors hire faster

✔ Jobseekers access life-changing careers

✔ Communities grow their skilled workforce

And every hire you help make genuinely changes someone’s life.
