Business Development / Outbound Lead Gen Specialist - Canadian Privacy Consulting
Worldwide
We are a Canadian privacy and data-protection consulting firm. We run expert-led privacy assessments and implementation for businesses that handle personal data - health, financial services, SaaS, legal, staffing, and more. Our work is proprietary methodology delivered by experts. Our problem is simple: we are strong at delivery and closing, and we need someone great at the top of the funnel. We are hiring a Business Development Hunter to fill our calendar with qualified discovery calls. You run the outreach - cold email, cold calls, LinkedIn. Our founder takes the call and closes. Your first month is guaranteed at $1,000; after that you earn uncapped commission on every contract that closes. If you are a self-starter who likes owning a number, building your own campaigns, and being rewarded for results, read on. WHAT YOU WILL DO Your day is two things, in this order of weight. Setting. Book qualified discovery calls onto our founder's calendar. You work the full sequence - an email, a LinkedIn message, and a phone call - and you keep working a prospect across all three rather than firing once and moving on. The booked call is the deliverable. Nurturing. Most prospects are not ready the first time you reach them. You keep the ones with a real signal warm on a sensible cadence, so when their trigger arrives we are the firm they already know. Around those two: research and build target lists of Canadian businesses that fit our ideal customer profile (we give you a clear, black-and-white checklist); design your own campaign approach - sequences, angles, cadence - and iterate on what is working; keep a clean tracking sheet and send a short weekly report; and follow our compliance and messaging rules (Canadian anti-spam / CASL - we will train you, and approved templates only for anything a prospect sees). Over time, the right person grows into owning our entire business development program, including our LinkedIn automation, with the volume and commission that comes with it. COMPENSATION This is a commission-led role, and we are going to be straight with you about that up front. Month one: $1,000 CAD flat, plus commission on anything you close. Guaranteed, paid regardless of what happens. That first month covers you while you learn our market and get our internal outreach system working the way it needs to. Month two onward: straight commission, uncapped. The commission itself: 5 to 10 percent per closed contract, paid as collected. 5 percent on contracts of $10K and under, 7.5 percent over $10K up to $25K, and 10 percent on contracts $25K and up. The rate is set once by the deal's own value at signing and never blended - ten separate $10K contracts pay 5 percent each, they do not combine into a bigger band. You are paid your percentage of each invoice as it clears, so a larger engagement collected over several months pays out across those same months. Why it is built this way. These rates are well above a standard SDR bonus, and there is no ceiling on them. That is deliberate - after month one you are carrying real risk alongside us, and the upside should reflect that. Our engagements are consulting contracts, not small-ticket software, so a single good close is meaningful money. What month one buys. We are finishing an internal system that handles the mechanical side of outreach, and we want a real operator using it in live conditions rather than a tester clicking through a checklist. In month one you will run your outreach through it, tell us plainly where it breaks or slows you down, and help us get it to the point where it carries the routine work on its own. If that turns out heavier than we are planning for, tell us and we will increase what we are paying you for it. You are not paid a flat fee per meeting. You are paid on real outcomes, tied directly to what the deal is actually worth. Our founder handles quoting and closing. You handle finding, reaching, and booking the right people. A qualified booking is specific and mechanical, with no gray area. First, the prospect actually shows up to the booked call. Second, the prospect meets every item on our qualification checklist - industry, company size, decision-maker seniority, Canada-based, a real privacy trigger, and a budget signal. We give you the exact checklist and the booking questions that verify it up front, so you always know whether a booking counts before you make it. TWO-WEEK TRIAL Your first two weeks are the trial, and they sit inside the guaranteed first month, so you are paid either way. The bar is simple: land one closed deal in your first two weeks, and that close is honored at a flat 10 percent commission no matter its size, which is a premium over the standing table because the trial rewards moving fast. At the end we make a simple go/no-go based on at least one closed deal honored at flat 10 percent, a clean tracker with on-time weekly reports, and zero compliance or brand-messaging violations. Hit the bar and we continue and grow the role together. Simple and fair both ways. ABOUT YOU Proven outbound, BD or SDR experience - you have booked meetings from cold, ideally B2B. Comfortable on the phone and in writing, with strong, natural, professional English. Organized - you live in a tracking sheet and report without being chased. Self-directed - you will build campaigns, not wait for a script. Bonus points for experience selling professional or consulting services, familiarity with Canadian B2B, or LinkedIn tools such as Sales Navigator and Dripify. Bonus if you understand Canadian anti-spam law, and if not, that you are willing to learn it and follow it strictly. TO APPLY In your proposal, please do four things. First, describe one outbound campaign you ran and the results, with real numbers. Second, tell us which channel you are strongest in and why. Third, write two or three sample cold-email opening lines you would send to a Canadian business owner about a privacy assessment - keep it expert-led, since we are not an AI product, we are expert consultants. Fourth, start your proposal with the word Funnel so we know you read this. We reply to strong applications quickly and move to a short paid test task before hiring. Thank you!
