About BUILD IT BUILD IT is a commercial construction and design-build company serving the Greater Toronto Area. We design, bid, contract, and build across workspace, hospitality, retail, and landlord projects. This role sits at the front of our growth — creating the new client relationships that feed the pipeline. The role This is a new, hunter-style business development role created to grow BUILD IT's book of business across the GTA. You'll open doors that don't exist yet: prospecting owners, developers, architects, franchise groups, and commercial decision-makers, then carrying those relationships from first contact toward signed work. It's a create-from-scratch role, not an inbound or account-servicing one — you'll spend your time on outreach, meetings, and follow-up, and you'll be measured on the pipeline and revenue you generate. What you'll do • Build and maintain an active, qualified GTA opportunity pipeline through consistent outbound prospecting, networking, and direct market outreach. • Convert early-stage outreach into meetings with owners, developers, architects, franchise groups, and other high-value prospects. • Advance opportunities through the sales cycle — supporting proposals, presentations, and deal strategy — to help convert qualified opportunities into signed business. • Manage pipeline and activity discipline in a CRM. • Represent BUILD IT at networking events, site visits, and trade shows (includes some evening networking during the month and local GTA travel). What we're looking for • Proven success in sales, business development, outbound prospecting, or new-business generation — with clear, quantified outcomes. • A demonstrated hunter mentality: identifying, pursuing, and creating new business from scratch rather than servicing inbound or existing accounts. • Strong track record building relationships with decision-makers and turning them into qualified opportunities and revenue. • Strong communication, presentation, and negotiation skills, with genuine comfort cold calling, cold emailing, networking, and following up persistently. • Disciplined pipeline management and activity tracking in a CRM (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive). • Legally authorized to work in Canada. Nice to have • Experience in construction, commercial construction, architecture, design-build, millwork, commercial real estate, franchising, hospitality, retail, or related B2B services. • An existing GTA network among owners, developers, architects, designers, franchise groups, property managers, or hospitality/retail decision-makers. • Experience selling project-based services, high-value contracts, or complex B2B solutions, and building a territory or book of business from the ground up. Compensation & benefits • Base salary range: $70,000–$80,000 per year. • Variable: commission/bonus tied to revenue generated, qualified opportunities advanced, and signed business (structure discussed during the process). • Benefits summary provided during the hiring process.
