Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Stockhouse, part of the global ADVFN Group and its Market Link capital markets marketing and investor acquisition division, helps public companies connect with retail investors through digital campaigns, content, sponsorships and data-driven programs. The Business Development Associate will build and research a US prospect list, conduct high-volume phone and email outreach, qualify decision-makers, set revenue-generating meetings, maintain Salesforce data and support discovery calls.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain the US target list: newly listed companies, recent capital raises, companies running IR campaigns and the agencies that run them
- Research each account properly before you touch it
- Run structured outbound sequences across phone, email and LinkedIn
- Break through gatekeepers with confidence and professionalism
- Set qualified meetings with CEOs, IROs, VPs and the other decision makers who actually own the marketing budget, and hand them over with real context rather than just a calendar invite
- Sit in on the discovery calls you generate. This is how you learn the business, and it is also how you get paid
- Keep Salesforce clean. Pipeline accuracy is part of the job, not admin around the edges
- Occasionally attend industry events or conferences
Skills
- • Genuinely comfortable on the phone. Cold calling is the core of this role, every day
- • Real interest in public markets. You do not need a finance degree, but you should be able to explain what an IPO is and why a small-cap company would want more retail shareholders
- • Excellent written English. Our buyers are sophisticated readers and a sloppy email ends the conversation
- • Organized enough to run 60 or more active accounts through structured cadences without dropping any
- • Resilience. Most calls do not go well. That is the job, not a sign it is going badly
- • Comfort with everyday tools: Outlook, Excel, Teams, Google Drive, Zoom
- • Reliable and effective working remotely
- • Remote-first, hours aligned to US markets. You work from a desk at home and sell across the country
- • 1 to 3 years in an SDR, BDR or inside sales role, ideally B2B with a considered sales cycle
- • Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, ChatGPT or comparable tools
- • Exposure to financial services, fintech, IR, PR or financial media
- • Any securities coursework, though none is required
Benefits
- Monthly meeting bonus: $50 for every held meeting above 10 in a month, $75 for every meeting above 15 and $100 for every meeting above 20.
- Commission: 2.5% of any cash contract closed where you generated the meeting and sat on the discovery call; 1% on equity-settled deals, paid on what the shares actually sell for rather than booked contract value.
- 10 days paid vacation to start, accruing from your first day.
- 15 days at your 3 year anniversary, then a further 5 days each year after that.
- 30 days maximum at your 6 year mark.
- Recognized US public holidays.
- Remote-first, hours aligned to US markets.
- Flexible around conferences, events and roadshows.
- You will be mentored daily by senior sellers.
- Clear goals, honest feedback and real support.
- The path from here is explicit: BDA, then Business Development Executive carrying your own quota.
