Restaurant Consulting jobs in Toronto, ON

As an Account Executive, you will sell enrollment in a 90-day consulting and training program to organizations that need to build, price, and sell their own sponsorship revenue. You are not selling sponsorship on anyone’s behalf — you are enrolling new consulting clients into the program. You will sell to founders, executive directors, and senior leaders at the buying organization. This role is 75% new business development and 25% administrative work, with no account management — every deal is handed off after close. The role is 90–100% inbound: each call is a pre-booked, setter-qualified Strategy Session, so there is no cold prospecting. Customers are events, festivals, and conferences, charities and associations, sports properties, and the consultants who serve them — primarily U.S.-based small businesses and non-profits. There is no geographic territory; this is a fully remote, phone-based inside sales role worked on Eastern Time. This is a growth/expansion seat on the sales team, reporting directly to the Founder & CEO. The base salary is $75,000 – $80,000 CAD, plus uncapped commission and monthly bonuses.

THE COMPANY & CULTURE

Our client was founded in approximately 2015 and is an established, privately held, founder-led consulting and training firm with a team of 12, headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, and operating fully remotely.
