Business Development Representative (BDR)
Having experienced great success in Europe since CV Partner was founded in 2012, and trusted by industry leaders like PwC, DLA Piper, and Capgemini, we have ambitious plans to expand in North America. In 2023, we received our first investment from Idékapital, which has enabled us to accelerate our overseas expansion and drive sales across America and Canada. In a short period of time, we have secured a multimillion-dollar contract with one of the biggest names in U.S. engineering, and more impressive names in construction, legal, and IT are in our pipeline.
This is our first Business Development Representative in our Toronto office and you will be instrumental in driving CV Partner’s success in North America by generating and qualifying a high-quality pipeline for our sales team. You will have the opportunity to create a great first impression for prospective clients and effectively articulate the value proposition of CV Partner. By using strategic research, you will identify, nurture, and qualify new leads to generate well-researched, qualified meetings for our Sales Team.
You will report to the Sales Manager in Toronto and work in collaboration with the wider Sales Team in London, UK. As we continue to grow globally, both in headcount and in customer base, you will have the opportunity to steer your future career in CV Partner and be exposed to development opportunities as we scale.
Ideally, you will have worked for a high-growth company, but we are more concerned with your ability to adapt to a changing environment. CV Partner is in an exciting growth phase so it’s important to be aware that something that works for us today may not work for us tomorrow.
We promote flexible working arrangements, and we also recognize the positive impact of meeting up with colleagues in person.We ask that applicants be prepared to travel to the central Toronto office at least 2-3 times per week. We also travel internationally twice per year for company gatherings, so in addition to being legally eligible to work in Canada, candidates should be prepared to travel internationally for a few days each year (fully paid) for collaboration, fun times, and, of course, great food.
