We are seeking a
Business Development Manager to lead growth across the
New England region, focused on our Site & Outdoor product systems. This is not a traditional sales role. It is a market-facing position responsible for influencing projects early, navigating complexity, and carrying opportunities from concept through realization.
You will operate at the intersection of design, construction, and manufacturing.
- Build and influence relationships with landscape architects, architects, owners, and contractors
- Position Forms+Surfaces solutions early in the design process to shape specifications
- Navigate projects through bidding, value engineering, and execution
- Partner internally with engineering, manufacturing, and project teams to ensure successful delivery
- Develop a deep understanding of regional market dynamics and identify strategic opportunities
We are less focused on a specific background and more interested in how you think and operate.
You may come from:
- Architectural or landscape design
- Construction or project management
- Architectural product or systems sales
What matters most:
- Ability to understand and communicate technical, design-driven solutions
- Experience working within the A&D and construction ecosystem
- Strong instincts around how projects move from concept to completion
- Capability to build trust and long-term relationships across multiple stakeholders
- Comfort operating in a fast-paced, self-directed environment
Our work is embedded throughout the New England market, shaping environments across workplace, civic, academic, and mixed-use developments. The Business Development Manager will build upon an established regional presence while expanding influence across future opportunities.
Representative projects include:
- Schrafft's City Center - Boston, MA
Adaptive reuse of a historic industrial site into a modern workplace campus, with upgraded public spaces, landscape integration, and tenant amenities - West 2nd Street Park & Community Garden - South Boston, MA
A community-focused outdoor space balancing durability, accessibility, and neighborhood identity - Tufts Library - Weymouth, MA
Civic infrastructure supporting public engagement, learning, and long-term community use - Constitution Wharf - Boston, MA
Waterfront residential and mixed-use environment requiring high-performance materials in exposed conditions - Brookline Place - Brookline, MA
A multi-building commercial campus integrating outdoor space, circulation, and tenant experience - Private Residence - Cambridge, MA
Custom applications demonstrating the flexibility and material range of Forms+Surfaces systems
These projects reflect the diversity of environments we operate in and the expectation that our partners can navigate both design intent and real-world execution.
This role is responsible for building the next generation of projects that define the region.
- Complex, meaningful projects: Airports, campuses, public infrastructure
- System-based thinking: Not just products, but integrated solutions
- Real manufacturing depth: Direct connection to how things are made
- Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with design, engineering, and operations
- Long-term opportunity: Build a territory with real influence and ownership
Forms+Surfaces is a design-led manufacturing company built on the idea that good design and good manufacturing compound over time. We operate with a collaborative, entrepreneurial mindset and value individuals who take ownership, think critically, and contribute across disciplines.
We offer a competitive compensation structure, strong benefits, and long-term growth opportunities within a dynamic and evolving organization.
