From major transportation hubs to civic spaces and campuses, our work lives where performance, durability, and design matter most. Our approach is guided by a core principle: Sustainability through Longevity. We believe the most sustainable solutions are those that endure both physically and aesthetically, remaining relevant and performing over time.

We are seeking a Business Development Manager to lead growth across the New England region, focused on our Site & Outdoor product systems. This is not a traditional sales role.

  • Position Forms+Surfaces solutions early in the design process to shape specifications
  • Navigate projects through bidding, value engineering, and execution
  • Partner internally with engineering, manufacturing, and project teams to ensure successful delivery
  • Develop a deep understanding of regional market dynamics and identify strategic opportunities
We are less focused on a specific background and more interested in how you think and operate.
You may come from:
  • Architectural or landscape design
  • Construction or project management
  • Architectural product or systems sales
What matters most:
  • Ability to understand and communicate technical, design-driven solutions
  • Experience working within the A&D and construction ecosystem
  • Strong instincts around how projects move from concept to completion
  • Capability to build trust and long-term relationships across multiple stakeholders
  • Comfort operating in a fast-paced, self-directed environment
Our work is embedded throughout the New England market, shaping environments across workplace, civic, academic, and mixed-use developments. The Business Development Manager will build upon an established regional presence while expanding influence across future opportunities.

Representative projects include:These projects reflect the diversity of environments we operate in and the expectation that our partners can navigate both design intent and real-world execution.
This role is responsible for building the next generation of projects that define the region.
 
  • Complex, meaningful projects: Airports, campuses, public infrastructure
  • System-based thinking: Not just products, but integrated solutions
  • Real manufacturing depth: Direct connection to how things are made
  • Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with design, engineering, and operations
  • Long-term opportunity: Build a territory with real influence and ownership
Forms+Surfaces is a design-led manufacturing company built on the idea that good design and good manufacturing compound over time. We operate with a collaborative, entrepreneurial mindset and value individuals who take ownership, think critically, and contribute across disciplines.
