Business Development Coordinator

Brantford, Ontario

Sales & Marketing

Business Development Coordinator

As ETHOS continues to grow, maintaining and deepening our relationships with key automotive accounts while pursuing new market opportunities is a top priority. The Business Development Coordinator will play a vital support role in making this happen - keeping our customer touchpoints consistent, our pipeline organized, and our proposals moving. Reporting directly to the Director of Sales & Marketing, this is a full-time permanent position based in Brantford, Ontario, with occasional regional travel to customer sites.

What does a day at ETHOS as a Business Development Coordinator look like?

• You will start each day knowing exactly where things stand - open opportunities in Zoho CRM are up to date, customer commitments are tracked, and the Director has everything they need to focus on strategic selling.
• Much of your time will be spent coordinating with key accounts - scheduling touchpoint meetings and site visits, sending agendas and follow up notes, and flagging upcoming renewal or re engagement windows before they slip.
• You will liaise with our engineering and project management teams to gather inputs for quotes, format and assemble proposals under the Director's direction, and track quote status with follow up cadences on open items.
• You will help onboard new customers post award - coordinating internally to ensure a smooth handoff from sale to project kickoff, and following up on outstanding purchase orders and contracts so nothing falls through the cracks.
• You will maintain and update account plans for key customers, tracking goals, history, open opportunities, and next steps so the team always has a clear picture.
• No two days are the same - one day you may be preparing opportunity summaries ahead of a GM review meeting, the next you're coordinating a customer site visit or helping develop a proposal for a new opportunity.
• This role is a defined stepping stone into a full Business Development role. As you grow into the accounts and demonstrate your capabilities, your responsibilities will expand accordingly.

What you will need to be successful in this role?

• 2-4 years of experience in a sales support, account coordination, or business development role.
• Proficiency with CRM platforms - experience with Zoho is an asset.
• Strong organizational skills with a high attention to detail - you don't let things slip.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to prepare clear, professional proposals, summaries, and correspondence.
• Comfortable coordinating across internal teams including engineering and project management.
• Self starter who takes ownership without needing to be micromanaged.
• Post secondary education in Business, Marketing, or a related field preferred.
• Exposure to industrial automation, manufacturing, or the automotive supply chain is a strong asset.
• Ability to travel occasionally within the local and regional area for customer meetings and site visits.
