Business Development Representative @ Relay Financial

Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we’re changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We’re building for employer SMBs and their finance function, internal and external, and are focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Ultimately, we help SMBs be ‘on the money’.

We are looking for a Business Development Representative to join our rapidly growing Sales team. You’ll be an integral part of Relay’s customer acquisition strategy; from prospecting inbound leads to outreach for outbound leads and so much more.

In this role, you will own the beginning of the sales cycle and will be responsible for introducing the benefits of a virtual banking solution like Relay, while providing the best customer experience. As a BDR, you’ll jumpstart your career in the exciting field of Fintech. If you’re interested in venturing outside the norm and are ready to join a high-growth start-up, we’d love to learn more about you!

What You’ll Be Doing:

Ensure that qualified leads are prospected; you’ll schedule meetings with our Account Executives
Qualifying sales leads through calls and emails to learn more about what clients are looking for from a business banking provider
Pitching Relay by positioning relevant aspects of our product based on the needs of the small business owner
Scheduling a high volume of meetings with qualified leads through outreach; with a combination of inbound and outbound leads
Through your business discussions, you will collect relevant information to set up our Account Executives for success
Strategize with the Sales team to innovate and improve the overall efficiency of the sales processes

Who You Are:

You have 1+ years of experience in a high-volume sales role (e.g. retail, staffing agency or previous BDR/SDR experience)
You have strong written and verbal communication skills
You are highly articulate via phone, email and face-to-face
You have a strong work ethic with the confidence to work autonomously
You are receptive to constructive criticism and new sales strategies
You are hungry for growth, have a strong desire to achieve excellence and thrive in a competitive environment

Bonus Points:

You have experience with Salesforce, Hubspot or similar CRM tools
You have a proven track record in cold calling

Hybrid work environment: we value meaningful collaboration and connection at our Toronto office twice a week, with lunch, snacks, and beverages on us.
Dog-friendly space: can dogs really make you happy and healthy? We don’t know for sure, but since we don’t want to chance it, our office is 100% floof-friendly.
Personal and professional growth: through ongoing feedback, mentorship, and coaching, work with peers and leaders who are invested in your growth and success.
Top-tier equipment: as a Mac-first company, our Toronto offices have everything you need to produce your best work comfortably, from multiple screens to ergonomic seating.

We’re driving real change for small business owners, powered by truly remarkable people. At Relay, you’ll find the confidence to take changes, trust to take initiative, and the support you need to build a career you love. Here, we make sure every team member feels empowered to make big decisions, encourage to ask tough questions, and challenged to take risks that result in work we’re all proud of. We give you the baton–you run the Relay.
