Sales & Business Development Manager – Injection Moulding (Canada Focus)Location: Ontario, Canada (remote with regular plant visits)Compensation: $150k–$180k CAD, + Managment Incentive Program AccessYou're a seasoned B2B sales hunter in plastics or engineered components. You know how to win complex programmes, not just take orders. And you're frustrated watching good capacity sit idle while management talks about diversification but never really does it.This role is for the person who wants to actually lead that shift.The OpportunityI'm retained by a North American injection moulding group with:Multiple plants in North America (including a well-established Ontario facility)Full capabilities: precision injection moulding, 2‑shot, insert and overmouldingStrong automotive history – but a strategic mandate to grow non‑automotive business in CanadaThey've brought me back in specifically to findone key hireto:Own business development for the Canadian moulding facilityDrive diversification intonon‑automotivesectors:Mining / oil & gas equipment (pumps, impellers, housings)Renewable energy (solar, wind components, charging infrastructure)Packaging & industrial productsOther Canadian OEMs who value a local, technically capable moulderStill leverage existing automotive experience where it makes sense, butnotlive and die by itIf you've ever thought, Give me solid engineering, decent pricing and the freedom to hunt, and I'll build you a book of business, this is built around that.Why This Role Is Different1. Greenfield growth, not a maintenance roleYou're not inheriting a bloated, over‑segmented territory where you fight internally for scraps. You'll be thego‑to external sales lead for Canada, with real white space to attack.2. Direct impact on plant survival and growthThe Canadian plant is capable and underutilised. Senior leadership knows thatnew markets in Canada are critical. You're not nice to have – you're central to the strategy. That means attention,



support and urgency.3. Backing of a serious ownerThe business is owned by an active investment group with a clear plan: stabilise, diversify, grow, then exit at a higher multiple. That means they are prepared to invest in:Tooling transfers and launchesCapability where it helps win new marketsProper commercial support rather than hand‑to‑mouth thinking4. Solid technical footing, not a jobbing moulderThis isn't a 3‑machine shop chasing 5,000‑piece orders.2‑shot, insert, overmouldHigh‑volume productionTight tolerance, value‑add work rather than pure shoot & shipThat gives you something meaningful to sell into demanding sectors.What You'll Be DoingProspect and win new Canadian OEM / Tier businessTarget non‑automotive segments (mining, energy, packaging, industrial, etc.)Break into accounts where local Canadian supply is a strategic advantage vs. US imports & tariffsLeverage your existing networkRe‑open doors where you've sold plastics or technical components beforeBring real, current relationships – not just a 500‑name Rolodex from 15 years agoConvert idle capacity into revenueWork with the plant team and internal sales/estimating resourcesDrive RFQs that match the plant's tonnage and process strengthsOwn the commercial storyPosition local moulding as a way to mitigate tariffs, logistics risk and lead‑time issuesLead price/terms negotiations with OEMs and Tier suppliersShape the diversification strategyFeed real‑world market intel back to the VP Sales & CEOHelp refine which sectors and accounts to double‑down onReporting line: VP Sales (US‑based),
