• 5+ years of proven experience in business development, sales leadership, or strategic partnerships—ideally in real estate, healthcare, senior housing, or professional services.

• Strong understanding of CRM tools, with preference for Salesforce or similar platforms.
• Demonstrated success in building and closing complex deals and partnerships.
• High level of business acumen and the ability to understand multiple industries and verticals.
• Strong communication, presentation, and negotiation skills.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, or related field; MBA or advanced degree a plus.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• 
  
  
  
• Lead Growth Strategy: Develop and execute business development plans to expand our footprint across multiple industries.

• Pipeline Development: Identify, evaluate, and pursue new business opportunities across senior housing, real estate brokerage, maintenance services, consulting, and venture capital.
• Client & Partner Engagement: Build and maintain relationships with clients, referral partners, investors, and key stakeholders.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with operations, marketing, and leadership teams to align goals, messaging, and deliverables across all divisions.
• CRM Utilization: Leverage CRM platforms (preferably Salesforce) to manage pipeline, monitor KPIs, and track conversion rates.
• Proposal & Contract Management: Lead the proposal development process and contract negotiations to close strategic deals.
• Market Intelligence: Analyze market trends and competitor activity to inform go-to-market strategies and identify gaps or expansion opportunities.
• Brand Representation: Represent Cornerstone Companies at industry events, conferences, and networking functions to elevate brand awareness.
