Director of Strategic Partnerships ProCraft Restoration Group | High-Performance Market Expansion Role | Must Be In-Market      This isn’t a job. This is a mission. If you're driven by results, thrive on autonomy, and are tired of being the smartest person in the room with no real power to build something meaningful—keep reading.   We’re not interested in safe.  We’re not hiring another yes-man.  We’re building the elite storm restoration team in the Southeast, and we need someone who can build empires, not just shake hands.     Who This Role Is For:  You’re a strategic assassin—you walk into a room and within 5 minutes know who the decision-maker is, what they care about, and how to win the relationship.     You don’t “network.” You form partnerships that open doors, secure contracts, and shift the trajectory of a market.  You think like an owner.  You hate being micromanaged.  You know how to scale and drive revenue without waiting for permission.     You’ve likely closed six-figure contracts, brokered deals with C-suite stakeholders, and understand both B2B sales and B2C influence.     You understand the value of a warm intro and a door already cracked open—and you’re hungry to maximize the existing partnerships we’ve already worked hard to secure.    Your Mission:    Take the warm relationships and strategic openings we've already established—and turn them into recurring revenue. Penetrate the HOA, multifamily, commercial, and new construction spaces with our ProCraft Maintenance Plan and Total Property Protection suite. Develop long-term strategic partnerships with decision-makers, not assistants. Own the entire sales cycle—from identifying high-value targets to onboarding, to closing and launching the project. Leverage our internal team to fulfill on what you sell—we’ve got the firepower, but we need a general to aim the cannon. Leave behind a trail of activated relationships and contracts in your wake.    What You’ll Actually Do:    Work the high-value, existing leads and warm intros already in our CRM and partner ecosystem. Research and engage portfolio managers, board members, developers, and real estate power players. Present the ProCraft solution with clarity, confidence, and authority. Guide prospects through our proposal process and oversee smooth handoffs to ourproduction and AR teams. Work alongside our leadership team to scale into new markets and verticals. Represent the brand at expos, networking events, and private strategy meetings withtargeted professionals.  Launch and refine systems for predictable growth in your territory.    Do Not Apply If:    You need someone to tell you what to do every day. You’re afraid to pick up the phone, walk into an office, or command a room. You’ve never operated in a performance-based environment. You avoid accountability and play the blame game. You think relationships are about schmoozing and not solving problems.      Culture, Not Cushy:  ProCraft isn’t for everyone. We are aggressively ambitious. Our standards are unrelenting. We measure success obsessively and we do not tolerate excuses.     We’re here to win—and we win together.     If that lights a fire in your gut and you're already seeing the playbook unfold in your mind, click HERE to apply -->  If not, that’s okay—this wasn’t written for you.     Apply now and let’s build a legacy together.  Requirements MUST complete the Culture Index Assessment in order to be considered for this position. LINK --> https://go.cultureindex.com/p/UYwirLoPbKD1 Must be at least 18 years old High School Diploma or equivalent At least two years of roofing/restoration experience. Benefits ✅ Unlimited Earning Potential – Your income is directly tied to your performance—no cap on commissions. ✅ Flexible Schedule – Set your own hours and work at your own pace. ✅ Independence – Be your own boss while still having the support of a strong company behind you. ✅ Performance-Based Growth – The harder you work, the more you earn. Top performers are rewarded and recognized. ✅ In-Demand Industry – Storm restoration and roofing are recession-resistant and high-demand markets. ✅ Training & Support – We provide the tools, training, and mentorship to help you succeed from day one. ✅ Team Environment – While you work independently, you’ll be part of a motivated, supportive sales team that celebrates wins together.
