Job Description

About Us:

At Commercial Fire Protection, we do more than fire safety—we deliver peace of mind. Every day, we step up as heroes, solving problems, ensuring compliance, and building trust. Backed by cutting-edge technology like FireCloud and a culture of excellence, we deliver full-spectrum fire protection solutions to multifamily, commercial, municipal, and HOA clients from Seattle to Houston.

Position Overview:

We’re seeking a driven and entrepreneur-minded Relationship Development Manager to join our growing team.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Generate new business opportunities through outbound prospecting, networking, and referrals
  • Conduct site walks and prepare service proposals for inspections, testing, and monitoring across our suite of offerings (extinguishers, sprinklers, alarms, fire pumps, generators etc.)
  • Present and position FireCloud as a differentiating value-add to prospective clients
  • Build and maintain long-term relationships with property managers, facilities directors, and procurement teams
  • Meet or exceed quarterly sales quotas and activity KPIs
  • Partner with internal teams (operations, customer service, and finance) to ensure client satisfaction and service delivery

Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • 3+ years of outside sales experience, ideally in fire life safety, building services, or B2B service industries
  • Proven track record of achieving or exceeding sales targets
  • Strong relationship-building and consultative selling skills
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation abilities
  • Self-starter with high accountability and a team-oriented mindset
  • Knowledge of local fire codes, NFPA standards, or life safety regulations is a plus

What We Offer:

  • Competitive base salary + uncapped commission
  • Full benefits package (medical, dental, vision, 401k with match)
  • Company vehicle
  • Ongoing training and professional development
  • A purpose-driven career centered around providing tailored solutions and consistently delivering on promises
