Relay

Senior Business Development Manager

Toronto, Canada
Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we’re changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We’re building for employer SMBs and their finance function, internal and external, and are focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Ultimately, we help SMBs be ‘on the money'.

We are looking for a passionate and results-driven Senior Business Development Manager to help us expand our horizons and drive our growth to new heights. You will play a pivotal role in reshaping our business development strategy, identifying and capitalizing on business opportunities, forging strategic partnerships, and driving revenue growth.
