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 passionate and results-driven Business Development Manager to help us expand our horizons and drive our growth to new heights. You will play a pivotal role in reshaping our business development strategy, identifying and capitalizing on business opportunities, forging strategic partnerships, and driving revenue growth.

Joining Relay means an opportunity to make a huge impact in building solutions with the potential to reach 29 million small businesses across North America. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a winning Sales team culture, establish a foundation in a scrappy environment, and contribute to our success story.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Lead, manage and coach a world-class team of Business Development Representatives
Identify opportunities in the business and execute projects to improve our sales process, strategy and playbooks
Build, reshape and execute our Inbound/Outbound motion
Partner and collaborate with cross-functional teams including Marketing, Revenue Operations, Sales Enablement, etc.
Stay abreast of industry trends and market dynamics to inform business development strategies
Analyze data and feedback to refine and optimize approaches for maximum impact

You have 3-5 years of experience managing and leading a Business Development team, ideally within a startup environment
You are results-oriented with a track record of meeting and exceeding targets
You have a creative and strategic mindset with a knack for identifying and amplifying market opportunities
You are passionate about coaching and the development of people
You have operational rigour – you are always looking for ways to solve and improve technical and process inefficiencies that impact the sales funnel

Bonus Points:

You have prior experience in B2B SaaS, fintech or a neobank
You have worked with SMBs in North America

We also enjoy time together in our Toronto office – you’ll come to Toronto for onboarding, once a quarter, and for our summer and winter events (travel and accommodations are covered).
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 Toronto 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.
Social connection: we believe in celebrating our wins with two annual company-wide get-togethers, quarterly team events, happy hours, and special events and networking opportunities with industry leaders.

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.
