Senior Business Development Manager

We are seeking an experienced business development professional to drive new client acquisition in the consumer health and supplement manufacturing space. This role focuses on opening doors with established brands, distributors, and international partners seeking contract manufacturing and private-label solutions. The successful candidate will use an existing industry network to create qualified opportunities, build relationships with senior decision-makers, and convert prospects into long-term business. This is a hands-on growth role rather than a traditional account management position. Key responsibilities include developing new business across Canadian and international markets, identifying companies looking to outsource production or expand their manufacturing options, and building a strong pipeline of opportunities. You will manage deals from initial contact through quotation, sampling, technical review, negotiation, and commercial agreement. The role also involves attending industry events when appropriate, supporting customer meetings, and coordinating closely with internal teams such as operations, quality, regulatory, purchasing, and product development to shape solutions for prospective clients. The ideal candidate will bring at least seven years of B2B sales or business development experience, ideally within supplements, health products, ingredients, or related manufacturing services. A proven record of closing new business, strong negotiation skills, and the ability to communicate confidently with senior stakeholders are important. Experience working with export opportunities and strategic partnerships is an asset.
