Director of Business Development & Strategic Relationships

Territory: Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills & Greater Southeast Michigan

You Know the People. You Know the Market. Now Turn Your Connections Into Something Bigger.

Are you the person who knows everyone in the luxury home market?

Perhaps you're a successful luxury Realtor, an accomplished business-development professional, or a top-performing sales representative selling premium windows, cabinetry, doors or other high-end building products to custom builders.

You've spent years establishing relationships, earning trust and becoming a respected name in your industry.

Now imagine putting those relationships to work with one of Michigan's established, award-winning residential design firms.

TK Design & Associates is seeking an exceptional Director of Business Development & Strategic Relationships to help lead our next phase of growth.

We are looking for someone who is exceptionally well-connected, naturally outgoing, entrepreneurial and genuinely enjoys bringing people and opportunities together.

The Opportunity

This is not a traditional office-based sales position.

We want someone who thrives on being out in the community—meeting builders, connecting with Realtors, attending industry and community events, developing strategic partnerships and opening doors to new opportunities.

You'll work directly with TK's leadership to expand our presence in the custom-home and luxury-renovation markets, with particular emphasis on Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills and surrounding communities.

Our ideal candidate brings an established network of meaningful professional relationships and knows how to turn those connections into new business.

What You'll Do

• Build and strengthen relationships with custom builders, luxury Realtors, developers and other influential professionals throughout Southeast Michigan.
• Leverage your existing professional network to generate qualified new business opportunities.
• Develop strategic referral partnerships that consistently introduce new clients to TK.
• Actively participate in networking events, industry organizations, community functions and relationship-building activities.
• Identify custom-home and high-end renovation opportunities before they reach the broader market.
• Cultivate relationships with professionals who influence homeowners' design and construction decisions.
• Work closely with TK's ownership and design teams to convert introductions and opportunities into signed projects.
• Create and execute a proactive business-development strategy with measurable revenue goals.
• Maintain an active pipeline of prospects, referral partners and business opportunities.

Who We're Looking For

We are especially interested in accomplished professionals with experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Luxury Real Estate: Successful Realtors or brokers with strong connections throughout Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills and the surrounding luxury-home market.
• Premium Building-Product Sales: Experienced sales professionals representing high-end windows, doors, cabinetry, flooring, appliances, stone, lighting, plumbing fixtures or other products sold to custom builders and luxury homeowners.
• Builder & Construction Industry Sales: Professionals with established relationships among custom builders, developers, architects and industry decision-makers.
• Business Development & Strategic Sales: Proven relationship-driven sales professionals with strong local networks and a history of generating significant new business.

What Sets You Apart

• You have an established and valuable professional network in Southeast Michigan.
• You are known for building authentic, lasting relationships.
• You have a proven track record of sales success and generating business through referrals and personal connections.
• You are confident, polished, personable and comfortable interacting with discerning clientele and business leaders.
• You genuinely enjoy networking, making introductions and creating opportunities.
• You are self-motivated, highly accountable and results-driven.
• You think entrepreneurially and recognize opportunities others may overlook.
• You appreciate exceptional architecture, beautiful homes and quality craftsmanship.

Experience in architectural design is not required. Your relationships, reputation, sales accomplishments and ability to generate business matter most.

Why Join TK Design?

TK Design & Associates is an established, award-winning, employee-owned residential design firm with a reputation for exceptional design, creativity and service.
