What You Will Do :

The Commercial Division is seeking a driven, creative, and people‑oriented Business Development Representative (BDR) to help expand our partner network and accelerate revenue growth in the FoodCycler Commercial department.

We are currently developing and executing the go‑to‑market (GTM) strategy for the FC‑75, the first of several commercial products we will bring to market. Reporting to the Business Development & Sales Manager, the BDR will play a key role in this launch by generating and qualifying new opportunities, identifying the right channel partners, sparking interest in our technology, and booking high‑quality meetings for the sales team to close.

This is a critical role at the front end of our commercial pipeline. The ideal candidate is curious, resourceful, and thrives on uncovering opportunities that can lead to multi‑unit sales. You will be the first point of contact for many of our potential partners and will help ensure that every lead reaching our Business Development & Sales Manager is legitimate, engaged, and ready for meaningful discussion.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Research and identify potential distributors, retailers, and channel partners capable of purchasing multiple FC‑75 units.
  • Develop creative outreach strategies to connect with decision‑makers through personalized emails, calls, LinkedIn, and other channels.
  • Generate interest and articulate the value proposition of FoodCycler Commercial products in a compelling and credible way.
  • Qualification & Opportunity Vetting

  • Conduct initial discovery conversations to assess fit, need, and readiness to purchase.
  • Ensure that all leads passed to the Business Development & Sales Manager are thoroughly vetted and meet qualification criteria.
  • Use structured qualification methods to ensure efficiency and consistency.
  • Maintain an organized and up‑to‑date pipeline in the CRM, tracking all outreach, responses, and meeting outcomes.
  • Book and schedule meetings between qualified prospects and the Business Development & Sales Manager.
  • Collaborate with sales and marketing to optimize lead‑generation campaigns and refine messaging based on results.
  • Market Intelligence & Continuous Improvement

  • Gather insights from prospect conversations to inform marketing campaigns, sales collateral, and partner strategies.
  • Continuously test and optimize outreach tactics to improve response and conversion rates.
  • Contribute creative ideas to help the commercial team expand its reach and impact.
  • Other duties as assigned.
  • Qualifications & Core Competencies :

  • 2‑3 years of experience in business development, outbound prospecting, or B2B sales.
  • Hunter mentality : energized by outbound prospecting, relationship‑building, and winning new business.
  • Strong communicator who can quickly earn trust and spark interest in a product or idea.
  • Highly organized and self‑driven, with a passion for chasing down opportunities and making things happen.
  • Experience with CRM tools and other prospecting software (HubSpot, Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, etc.).
  • Comfortable in a fast‑paced, evolving startup environment.
  • Strategic thinker with the ability to act quickly and execute with focus.
  • A valid passport with the ability to travel as needed for client meetings, industry events, and product demos.
  • What We Have to Offer You :

  • Comprehensive benefits package with enhanced pregnancy and parental leave top‑ups.
  • Annual Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) for added flexibility in health coverage.
  • Expanded mental‑health and medical‑practitioner support for employees and their dependents.
  • Flexible vacation and paid time off.
  • Central Ottawa office location, with a minimum of four days per week in the office (subject to change).
  • A FoodCycler unit for your own kitchen.
  • Regular social events and team‑building activities for all team members.
