Role Overview
We are hiring a Business Development Executive to secure long-term business partnerships with overseas clients. You will find prospects, build relationships with brand and marketing leaders, and get them onto Google Meet discovery calls that lead to partnerships.
Key Responsibilities
Identify and profile target brands and decision-makers (CMOs, Marketing Heads, Founders) in assigned markets
Run outbound outreach on LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, and email, using both the VP's profile (on their behalf) and your own
Write personalised, market-appropriate outreach in the VP's voice and in your own
Build relationships over time and turn warm conversations into Google Meet discovery calls
Schedule calls with the VP and share the agenda and prospect brief beforehand
Follow up after each call to move prospects from project work to long-term partnership
Prepare for pitches by researching prospects and assembling credentials
Track all leads, conversations, and pipeline stages in ClickUp
Use AI tools for research, personalisation, and reporting
Requirements
2–4 years in business development or sales, preferably at a creative, digital, or marketing agency
Proven outbound experience with international clients
Hands-on with LinkedIn Sales Navigator and cold email tools (e.g. Apollo)
Strong written and spoken English
Comfortable working across time zones
Structured, accountable, and consistent with follow-ups
Bonus: Experience running paid lead-generation campaigns (LinkedIn, Meta, or Google Ads) in overseas markets
What Success Looks Like
A steady flow of qualified Google Meet discovery calls with overseas decision-makers
Discovery calls converting into signed overseas partnerships
A clean, current pipeline with no dropped follow-ups
What We're Not Looking For
People who send generic templated outreach at volume, anyone who sees BD as only lead lists, and candidates without real international client exposure.
I used the defaults for markets (US, UK, Singapore, Middle East) and work mode (fully remote), and left out compensation. Edit those lines before posting if any need to change.
Should I draft the LinkedIn screening questions next?
