This is a role where activity matters, but activity without results doesn't.
We want someone who can make 50 calls, learn from what happened on those calls, improve the approach, and make the next 50 calls better.
What We’re Looking For
You don't need to have spent years in sales. Weâre looking for someone with the mindset and drive to become exceptional at what they do.
You are:
- Competitive. You want to win, and you enjoy having measurable goals.
- Persistent. You don't give up after the first unanswered email.
- Curious. You genuinely want to understand how businesses operate.
- Resourceful. You can find information others can't.
- Confident. You're comfortable picking up the phone and talking to someone you've never met.
- A strong communicator. You can write a compelling email and hold an intelligent conversation.
- Adaptable. You can pivot your conversational style, discovery, and value statements based on who you’re speaking with whether it be the person who sweeps the floor or the CEO.
- Organized. You can manage a large volume of prospects without losing track of the details.
- Coachable. You actively seek feedback and use it to improve.
- Analytical. You can identify patterns in markets, accounts, and prospect behaviour.
- Driven. You don't need someone standing over you to get things done.
- An independent thinker. We don’t hire people to tell them what to do. We hire people who are smart enough to figure out what should be done, confident enough to say it, and curious enough to keep challenging their own thinking.
Qualifications
- We’re not looking for a specific tenure in your last few business development roles. We get a lot more excited when you can demonstrate that you’ve done this before, and you were kinda awesome at it.
- You can demonstrate your ability to communicate professionally by phone, email, and social media, and you don’t make it weird.
- You have strong written and verbal communication skills.
- You have exceptional research and internet investigation skills.
- You’re comfortable working with CRM systems and sales technology.
- You have proficiency with Microsoft Office and/or Google Workspace.
- You can show us you have the ability to learn technical products and translate technical capabilities into business value.
- You have strong attention to detail and follow-through.
- You can work independently when you need to, but can collaborate with a pretty broad team of neurodivergent weirdos, socially awkward engineers, super talented tradespeople, caffeine-fueled salespeople, and marketing (marketing is actually pretty normal).
- Experience in industrial equipment, manufacturing, automation, agriculture, cannabis, food processing, or another B2B technical environment carries bonus points, but it’s not required.
The Environment
You'll be working on-site at our manufacturing facility and office in Carleton Place, Ontario, alongside the people who design, build, sell, and support our equipment.
You'll have the opportunity to see the machines you're selling being manufactured, understand how they work, and develop a real understanding of the challenges they solve.
You'll learn from engineers, manufacturing specialists, sales professionals, and our customers.
You'll see equipment being conceptualized, prototyped, improved, built, tested, shipped, installed, and put to work.
And, you'll have a direct connection between the conversations you're having with prospects and the machines being built on the floor.
Why Mobius?

You'll have the opportunity to:
- Build a career in B2B sales and business development.

- Work directly with an experienced sales team.
- Develop relationships with companies across North America and international markets.

This is not a passive role.
You'll be expected to pick up the phone.
You'll be expected to find the decision-maker.
You'll be expected to figure out what matters to them.
You'll hear âno.â
You'll hear ânot interested.â
And occasionally, you'll find the company that says:
âWe've been looking for exactly this.â
If that sounds exciting rather than intimidating, we'd like to meet you.
