ROLE OVERVIEW

The Senior Business Development Manager, Insurance & Strategic Response Channels is a senior, client-facing commercial role responsible for building FACS's presence in the insurance, claims, restoration, and strategic response markets. This role is focused on developing national and regional insurance-channel relationships, creating daily claims opportunities, and positioning FACS for disciplined response to larger loss events when operationally ready.

Success depends on insurance-market fluency, carrier and adjuster access, vendor-panel navigation, disciplined CRM usage, value-based positioning, margin awareness, and the ability to coordinate FACS technical, operational, marketing, and leadership resources around the right opportunities.

STRATEGIC PURPOSE

• Build sustainable day-to-day insurance-channel revenue around mold, moisture, asbestos / HBM, IH, IEQ, fire / smoke, water-related claims support, and claims-sensitive documentation.
• Position FACS as a trusted resource that helps carriers, adjusters, restoration firms, and property owners move claims forward when environmental or IH issues threaten delay, cost escalation, or dispute.
• Treat catastrophic response as incremental upside, not the base business case; support CAT readiness only where FACS has defined operational capacity, pricing discipline, and response protocols.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Insurance-Channel Development

• Develop carrier, TPA, vendor-manager, claims-manager, adjuster, independent-adjuster, broker, risk-manager, restoration, and property-owner relationships in priority markets.

Vendor Panel & Access Strategy

• Pursue qualified vendor-panel opportunities; manage MSAs, NDAs, service requirements, and pricing expectations. Treat panel approval as a starting point, not a revenue guarantee — convert access into active use through adjuster- and claims-team-level engagement.

Daily Claims Growth

• Create recurring opportunities from commercial property losses, structure fires, water intrusion, mold, asbestos / HBM, IH, IEQ, and claims-sensitive technical needs.

Claim-Progress Positioning

• Translate FACS technical services into buyer-facing value — speed, cycle-time reduction, defensible documentation, and claim resolution — rather than leading with internal practice-area labels.

Adjuster-Level Engagement

• Build field-level relationships through meetings, team huddles, CE / educational activity, claims-association participation, conferences, and value-added follow-up.

Opportunity Qualification

• Target work that fits FACS capabilities, capacity, geography, margin expectations, and risk tolerance; avoid low-margin nuisance claims and unsupported service promises.

Internal Orchestration

• Coordinate with Practice Leads, technical SMEs, Operations, Marketing, Benchmark, FIRM, National Response, and leadership to ensure commitments are technically credible and operationally feasible.

Strategic Response Readiness

• Support pre-event carrier planning, response-playbook development, service menus, escalation paths, and post-loss communication models for larger loss or CAT opportunities.

CRM & Market Intelligence

• Maintain disciplined CRM records for carriers, contacts, adjusters, panels, opportunities, assignments, source attribution, next steps, and field-level market intelligence.

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

• 7+ years of B2B business development, consultative sales, account development, or client-management experience with measurable revenue accountability.
• Strong preference for insurance, claims, restoration, forensic consulting, property loss, environmental consulting, IH, EHS, HBM, mold / moisture, fire / smoke, or related technical-services experience.
• Demonstrated knowledge of carriers, TPAs, vendor panels, adjusters, claims managers, commercial property teams, restoration firms, brokers, or risk managers.
• Ability to translate technical services into business value for insurance buyers: speed, cycle-time reduction, cost control, risk mitigation, defensible documentation, and claim resolution.
• Strong relationship-building skills, executive presence, field-level persistence, written and verbal communication, business judgment, and CRM discipline.
• Willingness and ability to travel for carrier meetings, claims-association activity, conferences, restoration-partner engagement, and market development.

Preferred

• Established insurance-industry relationships in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, California, or other FACS priority markets.
• Experience securing vendor-panel access, managing major accounts, conducting CE / educational events, or developing carrier / adjuster relationship programs.
• Familiarity with commercial property claims, large-loss response, structure fires, water losses, mold, asbestos, HBM, IH, IEQ, or restoration workflows.
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Environmental Science, Communications, Risk Management, Occupational Health and Safety, or a related field.

Physical & Work Requirements

• Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer and phone
• Must be able to pass a background check and maintain an acceptable driving record

Compensation and Rewards

• Competitive base salary with performance-based bonus structure tied to individual and team achievements
• Eligible for participation in our Incentive Compensation Bonus Plan 
• Comprehensive benefits package, including:
  • Medical coverage with 100% company-paid premiums for employees and their families, plus 50% of the annual deductible covered by the company
