Position Summary

The Director of Business Development – CRE serves as Shaw Contract’s “tip of the spear” within the New York City commercial real estate market, identifying and influencing commercial interior opportunities at the earliest stages of the project lifecycle. The role builds strategic relationships with brokers, developers, owners, asset managers, project managers, corporate real estate leaders, and other key influencers to create access to new construction, repositioning, tenant improvement, and renovation opportunities before they enter the traditional specification process.

This position is intentionally not a quota-carrying account executive role. Instead, the Director creates access, opens doors to key decision-makers, and positions Shaw Contract upstream of the traditional sales process. Acting as a market connector, this individual partners closely with the Shaw Contract NYC sales team to qualify and transition opportunities into active pursuits, ensuring Shaw is engaged early with the right stakeholders and positioned to compete effectively.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute a strategic business development plan focused on the New York City commercial real estate market.
  • Build trusted relationships with commercial real estate brokers, developers, landlords, asset managers, tenant representatives, project managers, and corporate real estate executives.
  • Identify new construction, repositioning, tenant improvement, and renovation opportunities before they are publicly bid or specified.
  • Qualify opportunities and transition them seamlessly to the appropriate Shaw Contract account executives for pursuit and project management with A&D and dealer channels.
  • Work alongside the local sales team to develop pursuit strategies that maximize Shaw’s opportunity to specify and win projects.
  • Influence projects upstream by ensuring Shaw is introduced to all critical decision-makers throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Develop relationships across the entire project ecosystem, including:Owners Developers Commercial real estate brokers Asset managers Corporate real estate leaders Architects Interior designers Project management firms General contractors Dealer partners
  • Increase Shaw Contract’s visibility within the NYC commercial real estate community through industry organizations, networking events, thought leadership, and strategic partnerships.
  • Maintain a robust pipeline of future opportunities and provide regular market intelligence to sales leadership.
  • Track leads, project status, and relationship activity through CRM and pipeline management tools.
  • Share market trends, competitive intelligence, and emerging development activity with the broader Shaw organization.

Qualifications

  • Proven ability to collaborate across teams and influence without direct authority.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Established relationships within the New York City commercial real estate community, particularly with brokers, developers, owners, corporate real estate leaders, general contractors, project managers, and other project influencers.
  • Strong knowledge of the NYC commercial real estate ecosystem and project lifecycle, with the ability to identify new construction, repositioning, tenant improvement, and renovation opportunities at an early stage.
  • Proven ability to translate market intelligence and relationships into actionable business opportunities, connecting internal sales teams with the right stakeholders and projects.
  • Consultative, executive-level presence with the ability to establish credibility, navigate senior-level relationships, and position the organization as a valued resource rather than simply a product provider.
  • Strong market connectivity and business development orientation, with the ability to maintain visibility across the market, recognize emerging opportunities, and expand organizational presence within influential industry networks.
