What We’re Looking For
- Experience: 1+ years in business development, lead generation, or B2B SaaS, ideally with a focus on retail.
- Resilience: Comfortable making 70+ outbound touches daily, handling rejection, and continuously iterating on approach.
- Communication Skills: Strong written and verbal skills, with the ability to engage and persuade at all levels, including C-suite executives.
- Tech-Savvy: Experience with Salesforce, LinkedIn, Outreach, Orum, or similar prospecting tools.
- Outbound Focused: Passionate about outbound prospecting, with a proven ability to generate leads through proactive outreach.

The broad salary ranges reflect the growth someone will experience in the role—from developing skills to reaching expertise within their career level.

At Zipline, you’ll continue to have career development conversations with your manager to ensure your compensation grows as you advance.
Our salary ranges are determined by market, factoring in our revenue and employee size, paying competitively at the 75th percentile. In higher cost of living markets, we apply 5-10% multipliers on our ranges, depending on the location, to maintain competitive compensation and reflective of the increased expenses our team members face in those areas. While we primarily hire in Canada and the USA, we are a global employer, and all hiring regions will use the same methodology to determine fair and transparent pay.
Transparency is key to building trust in our compensation process. To better understand how this range is determined, we encourage you to ask as many questions as you'd like about compensation during the interview process to ensure clarity and confidence.
