• Provide accurate weekly forecasts and maintain detailed opportunity tracking in CRM.
• Partner with internal operations, estimating, and construction teams to ensure successful project delivery.

• Familiarity with public procurement, RFPs/RFQs, and cooperative purchasing vehicles (e.g., Sourcewell, COSTARS,).
• Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills — able to communicate with both technical and administrative audiences.
• Self-motivated, organized, and comfortable managing long, consultative sales cycles.
• Experience meeting or exceeding sales quotas in a competitive environment.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to build your own book of business.
• Passion for sports, community impact, and public infrastructure.
