About Us:

Join our fast-growing, enthusiastic team of young go-getters in a highly successful finance business. Where our passion is driven by a common purpose--to disrupt and change the $76 billion-dollar asset-based lending industry.

For over 30 years, Econolease has led North America in restaurant equipment financing. Through leasing, renting, business loans, 0% financing and payment processing, we work with more than 3,000 restaurant owners each year, helping them achieve their goals throughout Canada, the U.S., and Australia.

With our new digital platforms, owners and operators can now apply online, confirm their pricing terms, sign their contracts, and view previous leases.

This role isn't about being one spoke in a big wheel. It's an opportunity to be a major part of a tight sales team. We're looking for drive, passion, motivation, and enthusiasm. Never satisfied with the status-quo, Econolease has made dynamic shifts in the lending space already with an ambitious and calculated path ahead to render the legacy parts of our business obsolete. This is a growth opportunity for our company and for the right candidate - will that be you?
