Overview
The Market Link is the global capital-markets marketing and investor-acquisition group behind InvestorsHub (U.S.), ADVFN (U.K.), Stockhouse (Canada), and HotCopper (Australia). We help public companies connect with active retail investors through smart digital campaigns, content, sponsorships, and data-driven programs. You’ll sell across all four platforms, with a strong focus on North America via InvestorsHub and Stockhouse. We work hard, move fast, and genuinely enjoy what we do. The Opportunity
We’re hiring a Business Development Associate (Sales Setter) who is proactive, growth-minded, and excited to take ownership of their work. This Role Is For Someone Who
Likes talking to people, making genuine connections, and isn’t afraid of a cold call Enjoys setting goals and beating them Learns quickly and actually wants feedback An honest and team first attitude Brings a positive, professional attitude to every conversation You won’t be micromanaged. We trust you to manage your pipeline, use good judgment, and treat this role like it matters — because it does. You’ll work closely with senior sales leaders, using modern tools (including AI) to build pipeline from scratch and book quality meetings with decision-makers. What You’ll Do
Proactively reach out via phone, email, and LinkedIn Research public companies and personalize outreach (no spray-and-pray) Set qualified meetings with CEOs, CFOs, and IR teams Take ownership of your follow-ups, conversations, and results Break through gatekeepers with confidence and professionalism Stay organized using Salesforce CRM and other sales tools Collaborate with the sales and marketing team to refine messaging and targeting Occasionally attend industry events or conferences What You Bring
Outbound sales experience (or strong transferable experience) A proactive, ownership mindset — you don’t wait to be chased Clear, confident communication (written and verbal) Comfort with volume and follow-up — consistency matters A growth mindset — you want to get better and know feedback helps Solid comfort and confidence with everyday tech tools: Microsoft (Outlook, Excel, Teams); Google Drive (Docs, Sheets, Gmail); Zoom and virtual meetings Familiarity with tools like Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, ChatGPT, or similar is a plus Organized, reliable, and comfortable working remotely Experience in media, finance, or B2B sales is a bonus, not a must Open to occasional travel for events or meetings How We Work
Remote-first, with hours aligned to U.S. markets Flexible around conferences, events, and roadshows High trust, high accountability Clear goals, honest feedback, and real support You’re encouraged to speak up, share ideas, and take initiative What’s in It for You
Competitive compensation (base + performance incentives) Access to company health insurance after probation Flexible, remote-first work environment Supportive, growth-focused sales culture Final Word
We’re not looking for someone to “just try sales.” We’re looking for someone who shows up curious, prepared, and ready to learn — someone who enjoys the process, takes ownership, and keeps a great attitude even on tough days. If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you. Apply now and help shape the future of investor engagement. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds. We thank all applicants for their interest; however, we will only be contacting selected candidates for follow-up.
