About the Role

CSMC is advancing next-generation micro-nuclear systems for defence, remote operations, and sovereign energy capability. We are looking for a Business Development Lead who knows how to navigate the Canadian nuclear ecosystem and turn relationships, market intelligence, and emerging opportunities into tangible progress. This role requires a deep understanding of the Canadian nuclear sector, including players, programs, procurement pathways, and the regulatory environment, with the ability to engage credibly with a diverse range of stakeholders. You will work closely with senior leadership to build strategic partnerships, advance customer and program opportunities, strengthen CSMC’s market position, and manage complex stakeholder relationships.

Responsibilities

Identify, qualify, and advance opportunities across the Canadian nuclear sector, including defence, remote power, national labs, utilities, and federal programs.
Map and engage key stakeholders across organizations such as CNSC, NRCan, DND/DRDC, CNL, AECL, provincial energy ministries, utilities, EPCs, and industry partners.
Track relevant policy, procurement, funding, regulatory, and competitive developments and translate them into actionable opportunities for CSMC.
Provide leadership with insight on market timing, partnership opportunities, and program positioning.
Build and maintain relationships with nuclear-sector decision makers, program leaders, procurement stakeholders, engineering partners, integrators, and technology collaborators.
Represent CSMC at industry conferences, trade shows, working groups, government briefings, and stakeholder meetings.
Lead early-stage and follow-up discussions independently, bringing in the appropriate senior leaders as opportunities and relationships mature.
Support continuity across relationships led by CSMC’s Government Relations, Nuclear, and Indigenous Relations leadership.
Help shape CSMC’s positioning within Canadian nuclear, defence, and government programs and strategic initiatives.
Develop compelling customer and partner materials, including presentations, briefing documents, proposals, and stakeholder-specific collateral.
Contribute to pricing, commercial positioning, and opportunity strategy, working with leadership on negotiation and final commercial decisions.
Help develop partnerships and teaming arrangements that strengthen CSMC’s ability to pursue and deliver major programs.
Lead and coordinate proposals for nuclear, defence, and government-related opportunities, bringing together technical, commercial, regulatory, and program inputs.
Work closely with engineering, legal, regulatory, and program teams to ensure CSMC presents a clear and consistent position to external stakeholders.
Maintain visibility across opportunities, commitments, follow-ups, and next steps so important relationships and pursuits continue to move forward.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in business development, partnerships, commercial, or program roles within the Canadian nuclear sector or a closely related regulated environment.
Strong understanding of the Canadian nuclear ecosystem, including the organizations, programs, procurement processes, and regulatory considerations that influence how opportunities move forward.
Demonstrated experience representing an organization independently with senior external stakeholders.
Experience advancing complex opportunities, partnerships, programs, or proposals involving multiple internal and external stakeholders.
Comfort discussing commercial positioning, pricing, and partnership structures.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the judgment and credibility to operate independently in a complex stakeholder environment.
Ability to work effectively in an organization where priorities are evolving and opportunities do not always follow a linear path.
Eligibility for federal security screening.
Compliance with controlled goods and export regulations.
Legally authorized to work in Canada.
Able to obtain and maintain Government of Canada security clearance.
