Job description

Business Development Specialist role at Pivot + Edge

At Pivot + Edge, we’re not your typical recruitment agency. We’re a marketing company that solves the hiring challenge — helping mission‑driven companies attract, engage, and hire top talent without the agency fluff or inflated fees.

We’ve built a best‑in‑class process and strategy that changes how companies think about recruiting. And we’re just getting started.

We’re looking for a Business Development Partner who thrives on the chase — someone with a hunter mindset who’s motivated by growth, thrives on autonomy, and is ready to disrupt an industry that’s long overdue for a shake‑up.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the hunt: Identify, engage, and convert startups and scaling businesses that need a smarter way to hire.
  • Create opportunities: Build and execute bold outreach strategies — personalized campaigns, creative pitches, partnerships, and events that get attention.
  • Collaborate to close: Work closely with our marketing and delivery teams to turn leads into long‑term partnerships.
  • Be the face of Pivot + Edge: Represent us at industry events, founder meetups, and ecosystem gatherings across Ontario (occasional travel + evening events expected).
  • Think like a founder: Bring ideas, test strategies, and iterate fast. You’ll have the freedom to experiment and the support to make it happen.

What We’re Looking For

  • A hunter, not a farmer: You live for the thrill of closing new business.
  • Entrepreneurial energy: You can turn an idea into action and don’t wait to be told what to do.
  • Resilient and resourceful: You know how to handle rejection, pivot fast, and keep moving.
  • Passionate about disruption: You want to help redefine what hiring looks like for startups.
  • Event‑driven connector: Comfortable representing the brand and building relationships in person.

What’s In It for You

  • High‑earning potential: The bulk of your income comes from commission — and the upside is big.
  • Startup energy, startup autonomy: Work directly with our leadership team to shape how we grow.
  • Real impact: Every client you bring on helps startups build their teams, tell their story, and scale faster.
  • Growth opportunity: As we expand, you’ll have a voice in building our sales strategy, tools, and structure.

Job Requirements

  • 3–5 years of experience in business development, sales, or partnerships (preferably in B2B, marketing)
  • Proven track record of closing deals and exceeding targets
  • Comfort selling consultative, non‑commoditized services (e.g., recruitment, marketing, professional services, SaaS, or advisory)
  • Experience prospecting from scratch — outbound, warm intros, partnerships, and creative lead generation (this is not an inbound‑only role)
  • Confidence engaging founders, CEOs, and senior leaders and guiding value‑based conversations (not feature‑selling)
  • Comfortable representing the brand in person, including networking events, meetups, and ecosystem gatherings (occasional evenings required)
  • Familiarity with the startup ecosystem in Ontario (or actively building relationships within it) is a strong asset
  • Alignment with Pivot + Edge’s values: curiosity, ownership, transparency, and doing things differently than “how it’s always been done”

Interview Process

  • Initial screening (video call) with Director, Marketing & Operations: 30 minutes
  • Assessment in the form of research and brief slide presentation (3 - 5 slides max) with Director, Marketing & Operations and Founder: 1 hour
  • Face‑to‑Face with Founder (within the GTA region): 1 hour
  • Final Meet the Team (video call): 30 minutes – 1 hour
