Position Overview

The Business Development Specialist (BDS) is a merchant‑centric, growth‑focused sales role within TD Merchant Solutions, designed for professionals who thrive in a fast‑paced, opportunity‑rich environment.

TD Merchant Solutions is on an ambitious growth journey, focused on doubling the number of fully franchised Merchant & Business Banking clients at TD.

As the owner of business development activities within an assigned territory, the BDS is responsible for building a strong pipeline, achieving sales targets, and expanding TD’s presence in the SMB segment by leveraging the full TD Merchant Solutions value proposition, including Clover.
