About the Role

Reporting to the CEO, the Business Development Executive will drive new business for Irpinia Kitchens. This is a hunter role at its core; you will identify and pursue new opportunities, build a high‑value pipeline, and close deals that expand Irpinia's presence in the luxury residential, multi‑family, and commercial markets. You will also be responsible for elevating the entire sales function: building process discipline, leveraging Salesforce, and setting the standard for how Irpinia goes to market. This is an exceptional opportunity for a commercially minded sales professional who is energized by building, not maintaining, and who wants to leave their mark on an iconic Canadian brand.

• Continuously identify opportunities to improve conversion rates and shorten sales cycles

• Experience selling into developers, architects, interior designers, or general contractors, understanding their buying process and language
• Strong Salesforce proficiency; you use CRM as a genuine business tool, not a reporting obligation
• Exceptional communication, presentation, and negotiation skills; you're as comfortable in a boardroom as you are on a job site
• A self‑starter mentality; you set your own agenda, manage your pipeline proactively, and don't wait to be told where to look
• High commercial acumen: you understand margin, deal structure, and how to build a business case
