We are a growing company that remains grounded in its people. We take pride in knowing one another, celebrating wins together, and recognizing that every role plays a part in our success. Deacon continues to grow, but we've held on to the sense of connection and care that has defined us since the beginning.

As we expand our operations into Vancouver and the Southwest Washington region, we're seeking an experienced and well-connected Business Development Manager to help establish and grow our presence in this exciting new market.
