Business Development & Marketing Lead

Essig Renovation & Design | Pittsburgh, PA

Full-Time | $75,000–$82,000 annually

Essig Renovation & Design is looking for an experienced Business Development & Marketing Lead who knows how to turn relationships into opportunities—and opportunities into long-term clients.

We're a Pittsburgh Design-Build firm specializing in high-quality residential renovations, additions, historic homes, kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-home remodeling.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for someone who can take ownership of our business development, relationship building, networking, sales pipeline, marketing, branding, and community outreach efforts.

This is not a behind-the-desk marketing position.

We're looking for someone who enjoys getting out into the Pittsburgh community, meeting people, developing referral relationships, talking with prospective clients, attending events, creating new opportunities, and helping build a brand.

• Manage prospective clients from initial inquiry through qualification, site visits, presentation of our Design-Build process, signed agreements, and initial payment.
• Develop relationships with potential clients, past clients, referral partners, industry professionals, and community organizations.
• Build a network that consistently produces qualified project opportunities.
• Manage and maintain Essig's CRM and sales pipeline.
• Attend networking, community, professional, and industry events throughout Pittsburgh.
• Coordinate prospective client meetings with our Designers, Project Managers, Directors, Founder, and other key team members.
• Develop creative business development and sales strategies.
• Research competitors, market trends, and new opportunities.
• Develop and execute marketing and branding initiatives.
• Create and coordinate content for Essig's website and social media channels.
• Engage with our online audience and help our team capture compelling project content.
• Support company events, charitable initiatives, partnerships, and community involvement.
• Help strengthen and expand the Essig Renovation & Design brand throughout the greater Pittsburgh market.

Candidates should have a Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, Graphic Design, or a related field, along with 10 years of experience in business development, direct sales, advertising, marketing, or a related discipline.

Experience in Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Design-Build, residential remodeling, interior design, or real estate is strongly preferred.

The ideal candidate is a confident communicator and relationship builder who is highly organized, self-motivated, creative, comfortable working independently, and driven by measurable results.

Experience with CRM systems, sales pipeline management, Microsoft Office, digital marketing, social media, and marketing/graphic-design tools is also important.

A valid driver's license and the ability to travel throughout the greater Pittsburgh area are required.

Salary: $75,000–$82,000 annually, based on experience and qualifications.

Our benefits include:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance with 50% of the employee's premium paid by Essig
• Dependent medical, dental, and vision coverage available at the employee's expense
• 72–96 hours of PTO, depending on length of service
• Unused PTO may carry over
• Six paid holidays
• Paid sick leave
• 401(k) with 1% employer match
• Employer-provided Short-Term Disability insurance
• Optional Life Insurance
• Optional Accident Insurance
• Optional Hospital Indemnity Insurance
• Optional Aflac supplemental benefits at company group rates

This is a full-time position averaging approximately 40–45 hours per week.

Because this is a relationship-driven position, candidates should expect regular local travel as well as evening and weekend networking, client, industry, and community events.

At Essig Renovation & Design, we're looking for more than someone to maintain a marketing calendar.

We're looking for a person who can create opportunities, build relationships, grow our network, strengthen our brand, and directly contribute to the continued growth of our company.

If you're an experienced business development and marketing professional who thrives on relationships, networking, sales, creativity, and measurable growth, we'd like to meet you.

Apply with your resume and a brief introduction telling us about your business development, sales, and marketing experience.
