Head of Revenue

Who we are

R-LABS is Canada’s real estate and housing venture builder, bringing together innovative corporations, institutional partners, and game-changing entrepreneurs to address critical challenges across the built environment. Through our proprietary venture building platform, we co-create, launch, and scale technology-enabled companies and new business models across areas such as housing affordability, climate resilience, construction innovation, energy systems, property intelligence, and infrastructure.

As the real estate industry’s dedicated venture builder, innovation is central to our ecosystem and embedded in how we identify opportunities, validate solutions, and cultivate high-impact businesses. Our Partner Companies are early-stage, innovation-driven ventures solving complex industry problems through technology, data, operational transformation, and ecosystem collaboration — supported by R-LABS’ deep industry expertise, strategic networks, capital, and leadership. We are focused not only on building meaningful enterprise value, but also on driving transformative, long-term impact across real estate, housing, and the communities these systems serve.

Reporting to the Managing Director, Capital & Corporate Development, we are hiring a Head of Revenue to help early-stage ventures move from validation to commercial adoption. Working directly with founders and CEOs across multiple R-LABS co-created companies, you will act as a strategic and hands-on commercialization partner, helping define go-to-market strategies, define positioning, identify target customers and partnerships, and support the sales approach needed to generate early traction.

You will play a critical role in helping founders navigate the realities of bringing evolving technology solutions to market by opening doors, building and activating relationships, supporting enterprise sales conversations, and helping ventures establish sustainable revenue foundations across the built environment ecosystem.

This role is based full-time in our downtown Toronto office. Given the hands-on, multi-venture nature of the role, daily collaboration with founders, venture teams, and R-LABS leadership is integral to success - in-person presence accelerates the relationship-building and commercialization work at the heart of this position.

You are a commercially minded and entrepreneurial revenue leader who knows how to build momentum in environments where there is no established playbook. You may come from a venture-backed startup, venture studio, emerging technology company, boutique advisory environment, or highly entrepreneurial sales organization where success depended on creativity, persistence, adaptability, and the ability to create traction without the support of an established brand.

You are comfortable operating at the early stages of a company, in ambiguity, balancing strategic thinking with execution, and adapting your approach as products, customer feedback, and market opportunities evolve. Exposure to sectors connected to the built environment — including real estate, financial services, insurance, infrastructure, construction, climate, energy, or adjacent technology ecosystems — is highly valuable. Most importantly, you are resourceful, commercially curious, and energized by helping innovative companies grow from early-stage concepts into viable businesses.

Impact. You want to play a meaningful role in helping early-stage ventures move from concept to commercial success. Working directly with seasoned founders and CEOs across multiple R-LABS co-created companies, you will help shape go-to-market strategies, refine commercialization approaches, and support ventures as they secure their first meaningful customers and revenue streams. Your work will directly influence how innovative technologies are introduced, adopted, and scaled across industries connected to the built environment, including real estate, financial services, insurance, infrastructure, and climate resilience.

Ownership. You want the opportunity to build, influence, and operate at both a strategic and executional level. This…
