As a Business Development Representative, you will drive the next phase of growth by generating leads and new business opportunities through high-impact outbound outreach.

You thrive in fast-moving, changing environments, staying adaptable and resilient while building something new. A track record of consistently exceeding personal and professional goals is essential. Bonus experience includes early-stage or fast-growing startup background, SMB sales exposure, and fintech or financial services knowledge. Venn offers generous equity ownership aligned with company growth, comprehensive medical/dental/vision coverage, and the opportunity to shape the future of business banking in Canada and beyond.
