The organization is focused on helping strong local operators scale while preserving the people, customer relationships, reputation, and culture that made their businesses successful. Banner Landscaping - Head of Bu… The Head of Business Development will play a critical role in the platform’s acquisition growth strategy by developing relationships with landscaping business owners across priority markets. This is not a traditional M&A execution role. Instead, it is a relationship-driven origination position for someone who knows how to connect with owners, build credibility over time, identify the right opportunities, and create meaningful conversations. ## What You’ll Do You will own and cultivate a targeted pipeline of potential acquisition partners across priority markets, working closely with the Head of M&A to turn relationships into qualified opportunities. Key responsibilities include: - Build direct relationships with commercial landscaping business owners and founders through introductions, industry relationships, market visits, meetings, site visits, and consistent long-term outreach. - Develop and maintain a strong referral network of industry professionals, former owners, property managers, brokers, suppliers, and other market connectors. - Identify and qualify potential acquisition partners based on strategic fit, owner motivation, and timing. - Create qualified meetings and introductions for the Head of M&A, who will lead valuation, financial review, NDA, and transaction negotiations. - Remain involved throughout the early stages of the process to provide continuity and maintain trusted owner relationships. - Develop deep knowledge of priority markets, key operators, competitive dynamics, and potential acquisition targets. - Maintain disciplined CRM activity and accurately document conversations, introductions, follow-up activity, and next steps. - Represent the organization at relevant industry events and build visibility within the commercial landscaping community. - Partner with operating leaders across the platform to gather market intelligence and strengthen relationships with prospective partners. Banner Landscaping - Head of Bu… ## What We’re Looking For The ideal candidate is a proven relationship builder and business developer who understands how to earn the trust of business owners. Strong candidates may come from one of several backgrounds: - Commercial landscaping or grounds maintenance, particularly a senior sales or business development professional with an established industry network. - Business development or acquisition origination within a private equity-backed services platform or multi-location services organization. - Former landscaping business owner or senior operator who has built, scaled, or exited a business. Prior M&A experience is not required. Banner Landscaping - Head of Bu… We are particularly interested in candidates who bring: - Established relationships within commercial landscaping, grounds maintenance, or closely related services. - A true hunter mentality with a track record of proactively developing new relationships and opportunities. - Strong credibility with founders and business owners. - Excellent judgment and the ability to understand an owner's goals, motivations, and timing. - Strong communication and relationship-building skills. - Comfort managing a large pipeline of long-term relationships across multiple markets. - Experience using HubSpot or another CRM to manage activity and pipeline. - An entrepreneurial, self-motivated, resilient approach. - Willingness to travel regularly to build relationships in priority markets. A bachelor's degree is preferred but not required; industry relationships, credibility, and a demonstrated track record are more important. Banner Landscaping - Head of Bu… What Success Looks Like Success in this role will be measured by the strength and coverage of the relationship pipeline, qualified owner conversations and meetings, warm introductions, progression of opportunities through the acquisition process, and ultimately deals sourced and closed. Banner Landscaping - Head of Bu… ## Compensation This position offers a base salary plus uncapped variable compensation, with earnings tied directly to successful business development activity and transactions. Incentives include milestone-based payments as opportunities progress, with the largest rewards tied to successfully closed deals. Banner Landscaping - Head of Bu… Why This Opportunity?
