All applications are being reviewed on a rolling basis.\nAbout Float\nFloat is on a mission to simplify finance for Canadian businesses, empowering them to eliminate complexity and unlock new opportunities. Through our innovative platform, Float enables businesses to streamline financial operations and optimize cash flow, so they can focus on what matters most: growth.\nAs one of Canada’s fastest growing companies and top-rated startups in 2025, 2024 and 2023, Float is customer-obsessed, passionate and entrepreneurial, with a team that includes leaders from Uber, Stripe, Shopify, Top Hat, Ada, Doordash, Snowflake, and Wealthsimple.\nAt Float, everyone is an owner, bringing their unique perspective to our team and product. Your voice is important, and we take having a culture based on feedback seriously. We openly share our thoughts and differing opinions so we can continue to improve. We do our best to keep our decision-making decentralized so that all team members feel ownership in our success.\nOur Product\nFloat is Canada’s intelligent financial operating system, combining modern financial services and software to help businesses spend, save, and grow. Trusted by more than 10,000 Canadian companies, Float provides high-limit corporate cards, automated expense management, next-day bill payments, high-yield accounts, and industry-leading support, all built in Canada, for Canada. Float recently announced our $85 million Series C, and is backed by world-class investors, including Inovia Capital, Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, OMERS Ventures, and Silicon Valley Bank.\nOur team is a collection of ambitious, collaborative and mission-driven people from all walks of life but with one goal: helping Canadian companies not just survive but thrive. And we’re looking for bold innovators to help shape the future of business finance in Canada.\nAI Use in Our Hiring Process\nWe use technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), to support parts of our hiring process. This may include AI-assisted scheduling and candidate communications, and AI-generated interview notes, guides or summaries to help our team focus on the conversation. All hiring decisions are made by our hiring team.\nAbout the Role\nWe're scaling Float's outbound engine through our next phase of growth, and we need a BDR Manager to build a high-performance culture across our XDR team (ISR, SDR, BDR). Reporting to our Head of Sales, you'll own the number: pipeline generated, deals accelerated, and customers activated. This is a hands-on, player-coach role for someone who wants to build a modern, AI-first outbound function from the ground up, not inherit a legacy playbook.\nWhat You'll Be Responsible For\nOwn and forecast the team's pipeline generation targets across ISR, SDR, and BDR functions, and carry accountability for hitting them\n\nBuild a high-performance coaching cadence: recruit, hire, onboard, and continuously develop the team against clear activity, conversion, and quality benchmarks\n\nRun a structured training and enablement cadence, including regular call reviews and teardowns, to sharpen talk tracks, objection handling, and qualification rigour across the team\n\nDrive outcomes that matter beyond activity: increase average deal size and deal throughput on BDR/SDR-sourced pipeline, and improve first-spend activation rate on ISR-managed accounts\n\nBuild and roll out AI-first workflows across prospecting and list-building, call and email drafting, conversation intelligence, and forecasting, and extend what works to the wider marketing and sales org\n\nDevelop and nurture strong relationships across marketing and sales, delivering on a single, shared pipeline goal rather than siloed team targets\n\nOwn the XDR tech stack: CRM hygiene, sequencing, enrichment, and reporting, partnering with RevOps on attribution and forecasting accuracy\n\nCraft and continuously test messaging, talk tracks, and qualification criteria as the market and our product evolve\n\nIdentify and act on process, efficiency, and productivity improvements without waiting to be asked\n\nAbout You\nHere's what sets you up for success at Float:\nYou Put Customers First, Always. You care deeply about delivering meaningful value. Whether you're building internal systems or customer-facing features, you're always thinking about how to make life better for our users.\n\nYou Act Like an Owner. You take responsibility for outcomes, step up to challenges, and seek solutions proactively, doing what's best for the business, not just your role.\n\nYou Think Big and Move Fast. You're energised by building from 0 to 1. You're not afraid to challenge the status quo, experiment quickly, and learn as you go.\n\nYou Constantly Learn and Grow. You're hungry to improve your craft and open to feedback. You bring a growth mindset to everything you do.\n\nYou Raise the Bar. You care about doing things well and efficiently. You balance speed with rigour and always look for ways to improve how we work.\n\nYou Win as a Team. You're a generous collaborator who values communication, context, and shared wins. You lift others up and help make the team stronger.\n\nWhat You'll Bring:\n3+ years managing a BDR, SDR, or ISR team at a high-growth B2B company, ideally fintech or SaaS, with real accountability for a pipeline number\n\nFull-cycle sales experience, from initial discovery through to closed-won, so you can coach reps on the entire arc of a deal, not just the handoff\n\nA track record of improving outcomes beyond activity metrics: deal size, sales velocity, and downstream activation or conversion\n\nGenuine fluency with AI tools in outbound: you've built or rolled out real workflows for prospecting, drafting, or call intelligence, not just experimented with them\n\nStrong coaching instincts: you can diagnose why a rep is underperforming and fix it, not just report the number\n\nComfort owning a tech stack (CRM, sequencer, enrichment, dialer) and partnering with RevOps on reporting and forecasting\n\nExperience building genuine cross-functional relationships with marketing and sales, not just running meetings with them\n\nPractical, day-to-day use of AI tools to move faster on research, insight synthesis, and experimentation\n\nThis May Not Be the Role for You If:\nYou want a fixed playbook rather than the ability to build and rewrite one\n\nYou haven't personally been accountable for a pipeline number\n\nYou measure success by activity volume rather than downstream outcomes like deal size or activation\n\nYou prefer to direct AI adoption from a distance rather than build workflows yourself\n\nYou're uncomfortable with direct, frequent feedback\n\nOur Hiring Philosophy\nWe hire for character, curiosity, and learning velocity before credentials. Titles matter less than impact, and every hire is expected to raise the bar for Float as a whole.\nWhy You Should Join\nWork at one of Canada's fastest-growing fintech companies\n\nMake a real impact in a high-autonomy, high-growth role\n\nCollaborate with an ambitious and supportive team\n\nCompetitive compensation, equity options, and benefits\n\nHybrid work model - we are based in Toronto with in-office days for connection and collaboration\n\nEnjoy catered team lunches every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday\n\nBring your pup to our dog-friendly office\n\nThrive in a high-trust, high-performance culture where your work truly matters\n\nIn Short\nAt Float, you’ll thrive if you’re bold, curious, and eager to make a real impact. We're building something special-and having a lot of fun along the way. If you’re excited to build, grow, and win together, we’d love to meet you.\nWe’re committed to building a workplace that’s welcoming and accessible for everyone. If you need any accommodations during the hiring process or once you join Float, just let us know! You can reach out to Vic (), and we’ll work with you to make sure you have what you need to succeed.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7972,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cards & Card Issuing","Procurement & Spend Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T10:08:09Z"}],"liveness":{"score":27,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.496,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":51,"expected_fill_days":47,"reasons":["conf:10","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-01T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":77820,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/float-manager-business-development","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/float-manager-business-development.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-01T13:13:14Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4855,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":145,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-02T00:00:00Z"}}}
