Launch Your Career in Business Development with Urbacon!
Looking to break into the world of business development and make a real impact? Urbacon is offering a unique opportunity for a dynamic, driven early-career professional—ideally a recent graduate or someone with 1–3 years’ work experience who thrives on building relationships and loves a fast-paced environment.
About the Role
As our Business Development Associate, you will:
- Work side-by-side with Directors of Business Development and the Vice President, Marketing & Business Development, for on-the-job experience and mentorship.
- Attend industry events, networking evenings, and social functions, building connections with emerging leaders in architecture, design, and consulting.
- Collaborate with our experienced proposal team to help develop winning submissions and presentations.
- Proactively call on and foster relationships with junior designers, architects, and potential clients.
- Learn the ins and outs of the construction and real estate industry from the ground up—no previous sector experience required!
- Assist with market outreach strategies, event planning, and maintaining business development resources.
What We’re Looking For
- Eagerness to learn and take initiative; a “go-getter” attitude matters most!
- University or college education (all majors welcome; business, marketing, communications, or related fields an asset).
- 1–3 years of work experience in a sales, marketing, customer-facing, or client engagement role (internships count).
- Excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.
- Comfortable attending events, making introductions, and developing a professional network.
- Team-oriented but able to work independently when required.
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
Why Urbacon?
- No construction background necessary — we’ll provide full industry training.
- High level of mentorship and direct daily access to senior leadership.
- Real opportunity to build a rewarding business development career and grow into a leadership role.
- Exposure to cutting-edge projects and Canada’s top professionals in the construction and design fields.
- Fun, collaborative office culture.
What to Expect
- This is not a typical 9 to 5 job – some evening events and flexible hours are required.
- In-person position based at our Toronto office (remote work is not available).
- Work hard, connect, learn, and grow your network – this is a rare launchpad for ambitious relationship-builders.
