This isn’t your typical Director position. You’ll play a critical role in identifying prospective clients, developing strategic outreach campaigns, researching markets, organizing business intelligence, and creating opportunities for our Business Development and Recruiting teams.

- Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
- Strong proficiency with technology, CRM systems, and digital tools
- Someone self-driven with proven success working 100% remote
- Experience in architecture, interior design, recruiting, staffing, consulting, or professional services is a plus—but not required.
Why Join DBI?
- Fully remote work environment
- Competitive base salary
- Uncapped performance-based bonus opportunities
- Flexible schedule
