About the role

Forms+Surfaces designs and manufactures products that shape the built environment at scale. 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. It is a market-facing position responsible for influencing projects early, navigating complexity, and carrying opportunities from concept through realization.

You will operate at the intersection of design, construction, and manufacturing.

Build and influence relationships with landscape architects, architects, owners, and contractors
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:

Schrafft’s City Center – Boston, MA
Adaptive reuse of a historic industrial site into a modern workplace campus, with upgraded public spaces, landscape integration, and tenant amenities
West 2nd Street Park & Community Garden – South Boston, MA
A community-focused outdoor space balancing durability, accessibility, and neighborhood identity
Tufts Library – Weymouth, MA
Civic infrastructure supporting public engagement, learning, and long-term community use
Constitution Wharf – Boston, MA
Waterfront residential and mixed-use environment requiring high-performance materials in exposed conditions
Brookline Place – Brookline, MA
A multi-building commercial campus integrating outdoor space, circulation, and tenant experience
Private Residence – Cambridge, MA
Custom applications demonstrating the flexibility and material range of Forms+Surfaces systems

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
