The Role

This is a new business development role built to grow BUILD IT’s book of business across the GTA. You’ll find and win work we don’t have today by prospecting owners, developers, architects, franchise groups, and commercial decision-makers, then carrying those relationships from first contact to signed contract. This isn’t an inbound or account management role. Your time goes to outreach, meetings, and follow-up, and you’ll be measured on the pipeline and revenue you generate.

What you'll do

Build and maintain an active, qualified GTA opportunity pipeline through consistent outbound prospecting, networking, and direct market outreach.

Convert early-stage outreach into meetings with owners, developers, architects, franchise groups, and other high-value prospects.

Advance opportunities through the sales cycle — supporting proposals, presentations, and deal strategy — to help convert qualified opportunities into signed business.

Manage pipeline and activity discipline in a CRM.

Represent BUILD IT at networking events, site visits, and trade shows (includes some evening networking and local GTA travel).

What we're looking for

Proven success in sales, business development, outbound prospecting, or new-business generation — with clear, quantified outcomes.

A demonstrated hunter mentality: identifying, pursuing, and creating new business from scratch rather than servicing inbound or existing accounts.

Strong track record building relationships with decision-makers and turning them into qualified opportunities and revenue.

Strong communication, presentation, and negotiation skills, with genuine comfort cold calling, cold emailing, networking, and following up persistently.

Disciplined pipeline management and activity tracking in a CRM (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive).

Legally authorized to work in Canada.

Nice to have

Experience in construction, commercial construction, architecture, design-build, millwork, commercial real estate, franchising, hospitality, retail, or related B2B services.

An existing GTA network among owners, developers, architects, designers, franchise groups, property managers, or hospitality/retail decision-makers.

Experience selling project-based services, high-value contracts, or complex B2B solutions, and building a territory or book of business from the ground up.

Compensation & benefits

Base annual salary range: $70,000–$80,000 per year.

Variable: commission/bonus tied to revenue generated, qualified opportunities advanced, and signed business (structure discussed during the process).
