Director, Business Development – Corporate Debt Advisory

We are expanding.

Diamond Willow Advisory is not your typical financial services firm. We help ambitious, mid-market businesses access the capital they need to grow, transform, or survive. Our specialty is complex corporate debt transactions, and we bring clarity, urgency, and execution horsepower to situations where others fall short.

We are hiring senior business originators in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Toronto who can do more than just win deals, you’ll also cultivate and lead a community of trusted, like-minded professionals committed to helping mid market businesses succeed. This is a senior, high-intensity origination role for someone who doesn’t need hand holding, takes pride in their work ethic, and wants ownership of a region they will be known for building and expanding.

The Role
You will be the face of Diamond Willow in your market, working directly with mid-sized business owners to seasoned management teams, lenders, accountants, lawyers, and other trusted advisors. You’ll originate deals, present to groups, screen opportunities, and structure financing solutions.

Beyond origination, you’ll build a professional ecosystem, hosting conversations, forging alliances, and bringing together people who share our vision of empowering ambitious business leaders. Your influence will extend beyond individual transactions to shaping a network that drives opportunity for years to come. Execution support comes from our team in Calgary, so you can focus on what matters most: building trust, finding opportunities, nurturing community, and delivering value.

We value entrepreneurial drive, and for the right person, this role is a steppingstone to partnership.
