Are you a fearless communicator, a natural relationship builder, and hungry to make an impact in a fast-paced, global company? If so, Leyton Canada is calling your name.

At Leyton, we’re not your average consulting firm. We’re a team of passionate innovators, financial strategists, and opportunity creators helping businesses of all sizes reach their full potential. As we continue our fast-paced growth in North America, we’re looking for a results-driven Business Development Manager to join our high-performing Canadian sales team.

In Canada, Leyton specializes in Innovation Incentives (SR&ED), Sales Tax Recovery, Property Tax Consultancy, Real Estate Appraisal & Valuation, and recruitment solutions through Leyton Match. In the U.S., our expertise spans seven tax products, including R&D Tax Credit, Employee Retention Credit, Energy Efficiency Incentives, Grants, and more.

What You’ll Do

As a Business Development Manager, your mission is to generate new business opportunities in Canada, targeting businesses operating in the innovation space.

Key Responsibilities:

• Identify, pursue, and close new business opportunities through market research, personal networking, and strategic outreach.
• Build and manage a robust pipeline while nurturing relationships with key stakeholders.
• Own the full sales cycle: from prospecting and meeting decision-makers to closing deals and onboarding.
• Develop and present tailored value propositions that address client challenges and deliver measurable results.
• Collaborate with consultants, internal teams, and partners to drive referrals and maximize client impact.
• Train and coach, the inside sales team to generate qualified leads aligned with your strategy.
• Support the development and execution of regional go-to-market strategies.
• Meet and exceed monthly KPIs and annual revenue targets.
• Manage existing client accounts with a focus on retention and expansion.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience selling services to mid- and high-market clients.
• Proven track record in consultative sales and managing the full sales cycle.
• Experience working with or selling for a management consulting firm is a strong asset.
• Background in finance, innovation, or operations is an advantage.
• Highly self-motivated, independent, and results-oriented.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Strong interpersonal skills and a collaborative mindset.
• A high level of professionalism, integrity, and ethical standards.

Why Join Leyton?

Growth & Development

• Access to exclusive international training programs through Leyton Academy.

• Competitive base salary with a performance-based bonus structure.
• Generous vacation plans (starting at 4 weeks) and Summer Fridays (half days) in July and August.
• RRSP employer matching and medical benefits package includes coverage for dental and vision care, prescription drugs, and paramedical services.
