Audacity is an AI-native MVP delivery studio , ~50 engineers across Vancouver and Dhaka — helping early-stage to Series B founders ship dedicated engineering teams, MVPs, AI-enabled products, and modernized software faster than they could build in-house. Since 2015 we've shipped 100+ projects for startups and scaleups across North America, Australia, Europe, and Asia.
The Role
We're hiring a Business Development Manager to own current-logo acquisition across our North America target markets, starting with USA.
You'll identify companies that need dedicated engineering capacity, connect with their founders and technical leaders, and build the pipeline that turns cold signals into signed engagements. This is a builder's BD seat: you'll be shaping the outbound playbook as much as running it.
What You'll Do
- Prospect and qualify startups and scaleups (10–200 employees, $1M–$50M revenue) across SaaS, fintech, healthtech, AI/data platforms, marketplaces, and logistics
- Read hiring signals (open engineering roles, recent funding, product launches) to identify companies ready for a staff-augmentation or MVP-build engagement
- Build and run outbound sequences across LinkedIn, email, and warm intro paths to Founders, CEOs, CTOs, VP Engineering, and Heads of Product
- Manage the full pipeline in CRM — from prospect identified through meeting booked — and hand off qualified opportunities with clean context for the closing team
- Represent Audacity in startup communities, accelerator networks,
and industry events across your target markets
- Hit weekly and monthly targets for companies researched, connections sent, conversations started, and meetings booked
What We're Looking For
- 2–5+ years in business development, sales, or account management, ideally selling software services, IT staff augmentation, or SaaS/AI solutions
- An existing, active network among startup founders, CTOs, or technical decision-makers (or demonstrated ability to build one fast)
- Comfort working a full-cycle outbound motion: research → outreach → qualification → handoff
- Strong written communication, our outreach is personalized and research-led, not templated
- Familiarity with CRM tooling (HubSpot, Apollo, or similar) and LinkedIn Sales Navigator
- Curiosity about startups and product, you understand what founders actually need before you pitch them
Nice to Have
- Prior experience at an IT staffing, software agency, or dev-shop selling B2B services
- Existing relationships in the YC, Techstars, Wellfound, or regional startup-accelerator ecosystems
- Experience selling into AI/data platform or fintech buyers specifically
Where This Role Lives Open to candidates based in Vancouver, BC, Seattle, WA, or remote across North America, with a preference for someone plugged into one of those two tech ecosystems.
Compensation
- Competitive, structured as base salary plus uncapped commission on closed engagements.
