Our expertise spans business process management, automation and AI, cloud, and application development. Our teams are collaborative, our leadership is transparent, and our work is impactful.
Alongside our consulting practice, we’re product builders: our flagship platform, formsflow.ai, is a low-code solution that simplifies complex form creation, approvals, and workflow automation, helping organizations move faster without sacrificing quality or compliance.

As we expand into new markets and scale our solutions, there’s never been a better time to join AOT.
Role and Responsibilities
As Principal, Business Development, you’ll be responsible for driving growth by connecting AOT’s offerings to industry vertical-specific needs in either financial services/fintech or healthcare. You’ll leverage your extensive professional network and deep domain knowledge to identify opportunities, build strategic relationships, and position AOT as a trusted digital transformation partner.
You'll work closely with marketing, solution architects, and executive leadership to shape outreach strategies and close deals. Your performance will be measured by your ability to open doors, maintain high-quality engagement, and convert prospects into long-term partnerships.

Demonstrated ability to leverage industry relationships, insights, and domain knowledge to open doors, build trust, and accelerate opportunities in the chosen vertical
High-level familiarity with current technology and digital transformation trends, including AI, process automation, cloud modernization, and AI-assisted software development
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills across senior stakeholders
Proven experience establishing markets for new entrants in Ontario
Nice to have:
