Our team is made up of inquisitive and agile minds that find smarter ways of doing things. If you’re not afraid of taking on big challenges and redefining the future, you belong with us. You’ll get to work with people who will encourage you to reach new heights. We like to keep things fun, ask questions and learn together.
We are a big (and growing!) family. Overall we serve more than 670,000 people across Canada through Equitable Bank, Canada's Challenger Bank™, and have been around for more than 50 years.

The Work
The Business Development Manager is responsible for developing the residential mortgage origination volume potential, for all business lines, of certain mortgage brokers in their assigned geographic areas while delivering on the Bank’s service commitment to the broker network. The Business Development Manager prospects for new broker relationships and nurtures existing relationships to develop the origination volume potential of their assigned broker network and meet targets. The Business Development Manager interacts with brokers primarily through non face-to-face communications and may be required to present or participate in person at training sessions, industry events and special events outside the office from time to time.
Relationship management with brokers is strengthened through the Business Development Manager's positive personality, professional conduct and ability to deliver exceptional service in a highly competitive and dynamic market. Achieving origination volume potential will depend on the Business Development Manager's ability to assist brokers with identifying deals that fit within the Bank’s addressable market, promoting the Bank’s value proposition to win the business and assisting brokers and internal teams with getting acceptable deals closed. Success will also depend on the IBRD’s knowledge level of the broker network, the Bank’s products, internal processes and credit guidelines combined with the ability to work effectively with others on both the inside and external sales teams. The Business Development Manager is to report directly into the Manager Internal Business Development (MIBD).
