Business Development Lead, Canada, Beats and Accessories – Apple – Toronto, ON

Apple is looking for a sharp, strategically minded Business Development Lead for Beats and Accessories to join their Canadian Sales organization in Toronto, Ontario. This is a senior-level role at one of the world’s most recognized consumer technology companies — an opportunity to shape how Apple’s accessory and Beats portfolio grows across the Canadian market at scale.

At its core, this position blends data-driven analysis, cross-functional leadership, and go-to-market strategy. You’ll work directly with reseller partners and internal teams spanning Finance, Marketing, Operations, and Legal — turning insights into action and concepts into results that show up at the shelf level across every retail channel in Canada.

About the Role: Business Development Lead, Beats and Accessories

This role sits at the intersection of category strategy, channel planning, and business development. As the strategic, analytical, and implementation lead for Apple-branded Accessories and Beats by Dr. Dre, you’ll identify growth opportunities through rigorous cross-retailer analysis, develop compelling financial models to validate new initiatives, and build persuasive presentations for both internal leadership and external partners. You’ll also serve as the primary Canada-to-Worldwide interface for these business teams, owning quarterly business reviews and representing Canada’s strategy on a global stage.

Beyond strategy, you’ll be responsible for building scalable business processes and performance reporting frameworks that keep leadership informed and initiatives on track. Whether leading Canada’s readiness for new product introductions or translating global go-to-market plans into retailer-specific execution, precision and accountability are central to this role.
