Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Safesidewalks Canada Full time

Company & Opportunity

Let's be honest…. sidewalks probably weren't on your career vision board. They weren't on ours either, until we realized how critical they are to safety, accessibility, liability reduction, and community well-being.

Safesidewalks Canada
 is the Canadian market leader in sidewalk asset management and trip hazard repair. With patented technology and a data-driven approach, we help municipalities, property managers, and commercial owners make sidewalks safer, more attractive, and more cost-effective without full panel replacement.

Founded in Alberta in 2012, we've grown into a 
coast-to-coast organization
, serving clients from British Columbia to Nova Scotia. We are entrepreneurial by nature, operationally disciplined, and mission-driven: 
making communities safer, one sidewalk at a time
.

We are hiring an experienced, entrepreneurial 
Business Development Manager
 to 
own, grow, and lead
 our British Columbia market.

The Role

This is not a transactional sales role. This is
a regional ownership role
 for someone who has built something before; markets, territories, teams, or businesses and wants real responsibility and influence.

As Business Development Manager, you will be accountable for
growing revenue, deepening client relationships, and expanding Safesidewalks Canada's footprint across British Columbia
. You'll work closely with the Regional Manager, Director of Business Development and Director of Operations to execute strategy while owning day-to-day business development in the field.

You will be trusted to think like an owner, act like a partner, and build your territory.

Market & Revenue Ownership

  • Own and grow the territory with a long-term, relationship-driven mindset
  • Build, maintain, and expand relationships with municipalities, property managers, and commercial clients
  • Identify new opportunities, accounts, and verticals within the region

End-to-End Sales Leadership

  • Lead clients through the full sales lifecycle: prospecting → proposal → close → project completion
  • Conduct on-site sidewalk assessments and field prospecting as part of consultative selling
  • Collaborate with operations to ensure smooth handoff and successful project execution

CRM & Territory Discipline

  • Maintain disciplined CRM and reporting practices to track pipeline, activity, and outcomes
  • Use data and insights to continuously improve territory performance

Entrepreneurial Contribution

  • Contribute ideas to improve systems, processes, and go-to-market strategy
  • Step into additional responsibilities as the region and company scale

Note:
This role includes outdoor field work and site visits, requiring sustained walking, standing, and mobility in varied weather conditions. Safesidewalks Canada is committed to accessibility and will provide accommodations throughout the hiring process and employment in accordance with applicable law.

What We're Looking For

You'll likely thrive here if you bring:

  • Proven entrepreneurial mindset:
    self-directed, accountable, resilient, and outcome-focused
  • Professional business development experience:
    ideally in municipal, infrastructure, construction, engineering, or property management environments
  • Strong executive communication skills:
    able to build trust with senior stakeholders
  • Operational discipline:
    organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working with CRM systems and data
  • Leadership potential:
    ability to influence, mentor, and collaborate across teams

Our Values (How We Work)

We hire and promote based on values, not just results:

  • Entrepreneurial Drive:
    We take ownership and push forward
  • Honest Feedback:
    We communicate directly and constructively
  • Enjoy Helping Others:
    Clients and teammates come first
  • Pride & Precision:
    We do things right
  • Making WOW Happen:
    We go beyond expectations

If this resonates, you'll feel at home here.

Logistics & Compensation

  • Full-time role
    | Target start:
    March 2025
  • Work-from-home flexibility
    with frequent field/site visits (Vancouver region required)
  • Regional focus
    with some interprovincial travel
  • Compensation:
    OTE range
    $85,000 - $120,000
  • Base salary: $70,000 – $90,000
  • Performance-based bonus
  • Mileage reimbursement
  • Benefits package
  • Valid driver's license and vehicle required
