Job description

Toronto — Hybrid, minimum 3 days/week in office


Lord Cultural Resources is looking for a strategic and outward-facing Business Development Manager to lead our growth efforts for a maternity leave cover. This is a senior role for someone who thrives on relationship-building, sharp analysis, and leading a small team through the full business development lifecycle — from strategy to signed contracts.

You'll work closely with Managing Partners, Senior Directors, and our marketing team to shape where Lord grows next, and turn that vision into a strong, well-managed pipeline.


What you'll do:


Strategy & Planning

  • Refine Lord's BD strategy, factoring in performance data, sector trends, and our evolving partnerships.
  • Help set revenue targets for FY26 and beyond, by service line, region, or market segment.


Pipeline & Proposals

  • Identify and cultivate new client relationships across core and emerging markets.
  • Own the full pipeline process: outreach, bid/no-bid decisions, and proposal production.
  • Direct and delegate to your BD team, keeping deliverables on track.


Reporting & Insights

  • Build and manage a BD dashboard tracking contract value, win rates, and conversion metrics.
  • Set clear KPIs for monthly, quarterly, and annual reviews.
  • Partner with finance and project management to keep everyone aligned.


External Presence & Leadership

  • Represent Lord at conferences and networking events, and grow strategic partnerships.
  • Coach and motivate your team, with regular check-ins and clear expectations.
  • Champion a collaborative, high-trust culture that reflects Lord's values.


What you bring:

  • 7+ years in business development, sales strategy, or client relationship management, ideally in consulting or professional services
  • Proven success generating leads, growing revenue, and managing a pipeline
  • Strong analytical skills, with fluency in Excel and/or CRM systems for dashboards and reporting
  • Advanced skills in MS Word and PowerPoint, and comfort working in Excel
  • Excellent communication and delegation skills, with real team leadership experience
  • Familiarity with the cultural, nonprofit, or public sector is a strong plus
  • A genuine interest in culture, museums, and the arts


If you're energized by strategy, storytelling, and building relationships that drive growth — and want to help cultural organizations around the world thrive — we'd love to hear from you.
