Director, Franchise Sales and Acquisitions

Build a new division within Blitz Franchise

Blitz Franchise is seeking a Director, Franchise Sales and Acquisitions to launch, structure, and develop a brand new division from our Quebec office.

This is not about leading an existing department.

This is about building it.

As we have grown, we have developed a significant network of franchise owners, franchisees, entrepreneurs, investors, and multi-unit groups across Canada.

More and more, we are seeing opportunities that go beyond the sale of new franchises: franchisees wanting to sell their business, entrepreneurs looking for acquisition opportunities, groups wanting to acquire multiple units, and owners thinking about their succession or next steps.

We now want to structure and develop this new line of business.

And we are looking for the person who will lead it.

Your mandate

Your role will be to build Blitz's franchise sales and acquisition division.

You will be responsible for the development of mandates, the creation of a network of qualified buyers and investors, and the support of transactions, from identifying the opportunity to its conclusion.

You will work closely with Blitz's teams, clients, and network to develop a high-performing and scalable transactional division.

Your main responsibilities

• Develop, structure, and lead the new franchise sales and acquisition division;
• Identify and develop new sales mandates from franchisees, franchise owners, and multi-unit groups;
• Develop a network of qualified buyers, investors, and operators;
• Evaluate and analyze transaction opportunities;
• Guide owners in preparing and positioning their business for sale;
• Prepare the necessary files and documents for presenting opportunities;
• Identify, approach, and qualify potential buyers;
• Manage communications and negotiations between sellers and buyers;
• Coordinate the various stages of the transaction process;
• Collaborate with lawyers, accountants, tax experts, financial institutions, and other professionals involved in transactions;
• Develop the processes, tools, and performance indicators for the new division;
• Collaborate with Blitz's franchise development, consulting, and marketing teams to identify new opportunities;
• Actively participate in the division's long-term strategy and growth.
• The profile we are looking for

We are looking for an entrepreneurial person who wants the opportunity to build something.

The ideal profile has:

• Relevant experience in business brokering, transactions, mergers and acquisitions, corporate financing, transactional services, business valuation, or business development;
• A good understanding of financial statements and the functioning of a business transaction;
• Strong ability to develop relationships and generate new business opportunities;
• Excellent negotiation and communication skills;
• Ability to work with entrepreneurs, executives, investors, and professionals;
• High level of autonomy, judgment, and professionalism;
• Entrepreneurial mindset and strong results orientation;
• Ability to manage multiple files simultaneously;
• Excellent command of both French and English.

Knowledge of the franchise industry is a plus.

Why Blitz Franchise?

Because you won't have to build this division completely on your own.

You will be able to rely on an existing network of franchise owners, franchisees, entrepreneurs, and investors, as well as Blitz's teams, marketing resources, infrastructure, and pan-Canadian presence.

Our goal is to build a new division capable of becoming a significant player in the sale and acquisition of franchises in Canada.

The selected person will have the autonomy and responsibility to directly contribute to its creation, development, and growth.

What we offer

• A strategic role with a high level of autonomy;
• The opportunity to build and eventually lead a team;
• Access to Blitz's network, resources, and infrastructure;
• An entrepreneurial and rapidly growing environment;
• A compensation package consisting of a competitive base salary and a performance and transaction-based bonus structure;
• Significant growth opportunities as the division develops.
• How to apply

If you have experience in transactions, business brokering, corporate financing, or business development and the idea of building a new division appeals to you, we would like to meet you.

Send us your application and explain why this opportunity interests you.
