We are looking for a driven and entrepreneurial Business Development Executive to take ownership of new client acquisition and build a strong sales pipeline from the ground up. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys identifying new business opportunities, engaging with prospective clients, and managing the complete sales lifecycle-from prospecting to deal closure.

In this role, you will work closely with business decision-makers, understand their hiring and business challenges, and position tailored solutions that deliver value. Success in this role requires a proactive mindset, strong relationship-building skills, and the ability to thrive in a target-driven, fast-paced environment. If you enjoy creating opportunities rather than inheriting them, this role offers significant ownership and growth potential.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and prospect potential clients through market research, networking, and outbound outreach.
• Build and manage a healthy sales pipeline by generating qualified leads and nurturing prospects.
• Own the complete B2B sales cycle, from initial outreach and discovery meetings to proposal presentation, negotiation, and deal closure.
• Conduct consultative sales discussions to understand client hiring and business requirements.
• Present solutions that address client needs and demonstrate long-term business value.

• Maintain accurate sales activity, pipeline updates, and forecasting using CRM tools.
• Consistently achieve and exceed individual sales targets and revenue goals.
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure a smooth client onboarding experience after deal closure.
• Stay informed about market trends, competitor activities, and emerging business opportunities.
• Represent the organization professionally during client meetings, networking events, and business interactions.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 1-4 years of experience in B2B Sales, SaaS Sales, Business Development, or Client Acquisition.
• Proven success in generating new business and acquiring enterprise or corporate clients.
• Strong communication, presentation, and negotiation skills with the ability to engage senior business stakeholders.
• Experience managing the complete sales cycle independently, from lead generation to deal closure.
• Excellent relationship-building and consultative selling abilities.
• Self-motivated, proactive, and capable of working independently with minimal supervision.
• Strong ownership mindset with a results-driven approach to achieving sales targets.
• Ability to identify business opportunities and convert prospects into long-term clients.
• Comfortable working in a remote environment while traveling regularly for client meetings.
• Strong organizational, time management, and pipeline management skills.
• Growth-oriented mindset with a passion for continuous learning and professional development.
• Willingness to travel for face-to-face client engagements and business development activities.
