Open role · Full-time · On site in Surat
Business Development Executive
Find and qualify the product teams and founders we should be talking to, run first conversations, and hand warm leads to the studio with clear notes.
The role
What you will do.
We are not looking for a closer who pushes every enquiry over the line. We are looking for someone who can tell a good fit from a bad one early, and say so.
- Build and maintain the list of people worth talking to: SaaS founders, product managers and agencies, in India and abroad.
- Run first-touch outreach by email and on LinkedIn that reads like a person wrote it, and follow up without becoming a nuisance.
- Use the free 15-point UX audit as the way in. Find live products worth reviewing and get the report in front of whoever actually decides.
- Qualify every enquiry properly: what they are building, what is broken, who signs, what the timeline is, and whether we are the right studio at all.
- Take the first call, then hand the studio a written brief clear enough to quote from without a second call.
- Keep the pipeline honest in one place, and report weekly on what came in, what converted, and what went quiet and why.
- Tell us what prospects keep asking for, so the website and the service pages follow the market instead of guessing at it.
Requirements
What we are looking for.
- A year or more in B2B sales, agency business development or lead generation, with results you can describe in specifics rather than adjectives.
- Written English that can carry a cold email to a founder in another country without sounding like a template.
- Comfortable on a first call: listening more than pitching, and asking the awkward questions about budget and decision-making.
- Organised enough to keep a CRM or a spreadsheet genuinely up to date, because a pipeline nobody trusts is worse than none.
- Enough curiosity about software to understand what a client is building and repeat it back correctly.
- Willing to work across time zones for calls with clients outside India, within agreed hours.
- Useful but not required: experience selling design, development or SaaS services.
What to send
How to apply.
