💼 Alternative Payments is hiring!
Our hosts are growing their Toronto Sales team and are looking for Business Development Representatives! BDRs are the driving force behind their outbound sales motion. They sit in a hands-on role where resilience, coachability, and consistency really make a big difference. As a BDR at Alternative Payments, you would directly contribute to the company’s revenue growth while building your sales skills, with opportunities to advance to an Account Executive role as you develop and demonstrate results. Their BDR team is hybrid, working 4x a week (Mon - Thursday) in office. Some of their team members will be at the event, so feel free to connect with them to see if your experience might make you a good fit for the team!
All welcome!
