Benefits
• We believe Relayers should feel rewarded for the impact they have on our mission and growth. Compensation follows impact. As impact increases, compensation grows, and we do not limit compensation changes to a once-a-year review cycle. • The annual salary range for this role is $120,600 CAD to $147,400 CAD. • For candidates who demonstrate full readiness for the defined scope of the role, the typical starting salary is $134,000 CAD. Offers below this point reflect candidates we believe can grow into the full scope of the role with support and development. Offers above this point reflect impact that meaningfully exceeds the role’s defined expectations or an expanded scope from day one. • We encourage you to have a conversation with your recruiter and ask questions about compensation throughout the hiring process.

Comfort is a signal to push harder, not coast. You'd rather build something better than defend something familiar. • You crave autonomy: We trust our team with big challenges and the freedom to solve them. If you’re someone who takes initiative, is comfortable taking risks, and seeks input when needed, you’ll find the freedom here empowering. • You own your work: You take pride in your work, follow through on commitments, and feel a deep sense of responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks. • You build with AI, not just use it: You're actively embedding AI into how you work, pushing what's possible, and bringing your team along with you. • You care about impact, not noise: You care deeply about the substance of your work. You measure success by results, not recognition, and you let your work speak for itself. • You’re energized by complexity and ambiguity: You enjoy tackling problems that don’t come with a playbook. You’re comfortable building from scratch, iterating as you go, and collaborating to shape the best path forward. • You seek out feedback: You see directness as respect, not criticism. You actively seek input, sit with hard truths, and use feedback as fuel for improvement. • Small businesses are why we're here: Relay exists to help them thrive -- and that mission has to resonate with you. • We're looking for people who are relentless, curious, and care deeply about the work. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't perfectly match the job description -- your perspective and drive matter more. We welcome diverse backgrounds and people who think critically, challenge the status quo, and want to help small businesses thrive. • If you require accommodations at any stage of the hiring process, please reach out to your Talent Partner. • Disclaimer: For compliance reasons, all offers of employment at Relay are conditional upon a successful background check and employment verification through Certn.
