Business Development Manager - AB

We are specifically looking for a BDM to work remotely but be located in Alberta. 

Punchcard is a digital transformation studio with teams, partners, and clients across Canada. At its core, digital transformation uses technology to create new or improve existing business processes and customer experiences. Our digital advisory and development services enable organizations to:

• Improve customer experiences across platforms,
• Increase productivity and efficiency of internal teams,
• Make better data-driven business decisions, and
• Increase overall competitiveness.

At Punchcard, we’re in the process of inventing a new type of company, and we need great people to come along this journey with us. Our clients come to us to help them solve interesting challenges using technology. 

This position requires a supportive team player with the ability to learn new skills, work with a broad group of internal and external stakeholders, and excel within a fast-paced, dynamic, and complex environment.

Reporting to the Head of Growth & RevOps, this position will seek out new business opportunities by contacting and developing relationships with potential customers. To be successful in this role, you should have demonstrated experience successfully generating your own leads through targeted outbound prospecting (cold calling, email outreach, networking events, social selling) and meeting sales quotas. 

You will use your communication skills to cultivate strong relationships with customers, from first contact until you close the deal. You will also ensure proper after-sales service and handoff to the delivery team. If you are motivated and results-driven, and enjoy working in a team environment, we’d like to meet you.

Ultimately, you will boost sales and contribute to our long-term business growth.
