Business Development & Community Relations Representative

Do you leave a networking event with three real follow-ups while everyone else leaves with a stack of business cards?

Are you naturally good at remembering people, making connections, and finding reasons to stay in touch? Can you look at an event or sponsorship and tell the difference between a worthwhile opportunity and something that only sounds good on paper?

Triangle Smart Divorce is growing, and we are looking for someone who is genuinely energized by people to lead our business development, referral relationships, community visibility, and client-experience efforts. This is not a traditional sales job, and it is not a behind-the-scenes marketing position. We need someone who can build trust over time, represent the firm well, follow through without being chased, and help more people in the Triangle know who we are and what makes us different.

Your main goal will be to build real referral relationships, help current and former clients feel well served, and take ownership of getting Triangle Smart Divorce in front of the right people. You will help turn one-time introductions into long‑term relationships and make sure strong opportunities do not disappear because everyone got busy.

You will work directly with our Director of Marketing and members of the Legal Team, while also partnering with Intake and Leadership. You will bring our attorney relationships, marketing efforts, and community opportunities together so they are more consistent, more strategic, and more effective.

$55,000 to 85,000, base salary, plus performance-based incentive compensation and a generous benefits package. Base salary is dependent on experience, relevant relationships, and the ability to take ownership quickly. The role will also have the opportunity to earn performance-based incentive compensation.

This position has real room to grow. As the firm, referral volume, and department grow, the role may expand into leadership of a larger business development and client‑experience function, supervision of additional Team members, ownership of larger budgets and strategies, and broader departmental responsibility. For the right person, this is an opportunity to help build the function now and grow with it rather than step into a role that is already fully defined.

Growth will depend on results, business needs, and demonstrated leadership.
