Business Development Lead

At ChillSkyn, we’re tackling one of the planet’s biggest and most overlooked energy challenges: cooling. Our patented passive‑cooling coating, PolyFrost, reduces surface temperatures by reflecting heat and infrared radiation, cutting fuel use, lowering emissions, and improving the resilience of temperature‑sensitive assets. From fleet trailers and cold chain infrastructure to industrial infrastructure and energy installations, our coating helps operators cut operating costs, protect assets, and meet decarbonisation goals. We’re a hardtech company built by scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs. If you’ve been looking for a role where real‑world impact meets cutting‑edge materials science, this is it Opportunity We’re scaling quickly and looking for a Business Development Lead to drive growth across multiple verticals — including transportation, cold storage, built infrastructure and energy systems. This isn’t your average sales role: you’ll operate at the intersection of applied science, field engineering, and market development. You’ll own and shape how ChillSkyn shows up in the market: identifying early adopters, proving ROI, closing strategic deals, and scaling deployments. You’ll collaborate closely with scientists, engineers, and operations teams to bring this breakthrough to market — and you’ll help define how we commercialise one of the most promising passive cooling technologies in the world. Responsibilities Lead business development efforts across target verticals, including transportation fleets, cold chain infrastructure, and energy installations. Identify and engage early adopters, from OEMs to asset managers to sustainability teams, and design high‑impact pilot projects that validate our value proposition. Manage the full sales cycle: prospecting, qualification, education, proposal development, and contract negotiation. Develop ROI‑driven business cases using operational data and performance metrics from field deployments. Build compelling proposals, presentations, and commercial tools that support customer decisions. Represent ChillSkyn at key industry events, trade shows, and stakeholder meetings. Collaborate with technical and operations teams to ensure successful execution and validation of customer projects. Be the voice of the market internally, surfacing insights, challenges, and opportunities to inform go‑to‑market and product strategy. Use CRM and sales tools (e.g., HubSpot) to track pipeline, performance, and engagement across verticals. Qualifications 3–6 years of experience in B2B sales, business development, partnerships, or technical commercialization, ideally in sectors like fleet transportation, logistics, coatings, industrial materials, or energy. A background in science or engineering (academic or professional) is a strong asset; you’ll be selling a technical product to a practical, results‑oriented audience. You act with urgency and have a natural bias for action: you’re proactive, communicate in real time, and prioritise progress over perfection to move deals forward quickly. You’re a strong communicator and storyteller, able to translate technical value into compelling business outcomes. You build trust through humility, transparency, and a willingness to learn and iterate. You thrive in early‑market ambiguity, showing initiative and customer obsession as you co‑create solutions, validate hypotheses, and stay close to evolving industry needs. You work best in collaborative environments, where sharing credit, surfacing diverse perspectives, and addressing challenges constructively are second nature. You’re CRM‑savvy (HubSpot preferred) and constantly looking to improve your sales tools and processes. You’re excited to travel across North America, build relationships on the ground, and help shape how a climate tech innovation scales in the real world. Why Join ChillSkyn?
