The VP will foster collaboration across departments, impacting both the company's internal dynamics and its market influence. As the company’s ambassador for revenue generation, the VP will lead by example and inspire others to elevate their performance, driving to achieve dominance in industry. While previous contracting industry experience is desirable, the final candidate will have deep sales and business development skills from one or more of facilities services sectors including, but not limited to, waste management, janitorial, maintenance, landscaping, flooring, signage, security, technical services, carpeting, disaster recovery, construction, roofing, etc. S/he has also grown previous employers’ annual sales beyond the $100m annual level.

Our client is not interested in candidates with only product sales experience—having sold commercial facilities services in the past is mandatory. More importantly, the final candidate will bring a level of sophistication and professionalism to the sales and new business development process for the company to continue to raise the bar in operational excellence and customer satisfaction. They will be responsible for leading and managing the business development team, as well as the inside sales team, fostering a high-performance culture, and driving revenue growth through strategic partnerships and customer acquisition.
