The Director of Business Development will expand client base, generate leads, manage relationships, and promote business awareness across teams.
At Caravel Law, we do business differently. We don’t have a fancy office (although our space is pretty cool). We don’t layer lawyers on files or pad bills with unnecessary overhead (but we do offer fixed fees, and leverage tech-enabled tools to increase efficiencies). We are focused on outcomes, experience, and defining the future of the legal services industry in Canada as we have for 10+ years.
Why does our impressive roster of Lawyers choose to work with us?
As part of our ambitious growth plans, we are seeking a driven, relationship-oriented business development representative to help expand our client base across key Canadian markets. This is a unique opportunity for a results-focused sales professional with experience in professional services to make a major impact at an agile, values-driven firm that’s changing the legal landscape.
Key Responsibilities:
Why does our impressive roster of Lawyers choose to work with us?
- We separate the business of law from the practice of law — allowing our lawyers to focus on providing expert advice while our internal team manages all core operations
- Caravel does not set specific targets with respect to billable hours – our lawyers let us know how much or how little they would like to work
- While our lawyers work remotely, we operate as a team and promote a collaborative and inclusive culture

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene
Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
