Business Development Manager, North America (US/CAN)

Sendle is a B Corporation and the first 100% carbon neutral delivery service in the United States, Australia and Canada. We build shipping that is good for the world and help small businesses thrive by making parcel delivery simple, reliable and affordable and doing that by harnessing major courier networks to create a delivery service that levels the playing field for small businesses.

We have made huge strides towards our goal of becoming the largest SMB eCommerce courier in the world, moving from a single country operation in Australia to a successful launch and operation in the US and Canada. This role will be key to our success as we continue to expand into new markets, launch new products, and grow and scale our teams.

Sendle’s Business Development team works to welcome, convert, and onboard businesses to Sendle. We believe that really fast and personal support inherently makes people happy. A successful candidate will be able to learn our business quickly, be a consistently positive welcome party, and turn tricky questions and tough problems into joyful outcomes that our customers tell their friends about.

The person in this role will be working with customers in the US and Canada and can be located in either of those countries. Sendle is a fully-distributed, remote-first company with team members in Australia, United States, Canada, New Zealand, and the Philippines. For ease of collaboration, candidates located in Pacific, Mountain, and Central time zones will be given priority consideration.
