Business Development Specialist

The Role

Connecsi is a 360° AI-powered influencer marketing platform that helps brands discover creators, manage campaigns, and measure performance — all in one place. We're growing our business development function and looking for a hungry, agency-experienced junior BD specialist to help us build our brand client base from the ground up.

This is a B2B contract role with a base salary and performance-based commission. If you've worked inside a marketing or influencer agency and understand how brands think about creator partnerships, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Identify and prospect potential brand clients across relevant industries (DTC, eCommerce, CPG, fashion, beauty, and beyond)
• Reach out via email, LinkedIn, and other channels to generate qualified leads and book discovery calls
• Conduct initial sales calls and product demos, communicating Connecsi's value proposition clearly
• Manage and maintain your pipeline using CRM tools — tracking leads, follow-ups, and deal stages
• Work closely with the founding team to refine outreach messaging and positioning based on real market feedback
• Support the development of partnership opportunities with agencies and brand networks
• Meet and exceed monthly targets for outreach activity, qualified meetings, and closed deals

Qualifications

Education:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, or a related field — required

Experience:

• 2–3 years of experience in business development, sales, or account management
• Prior experience working at a marketing or influencer agency is non-negotiable — in any capacity (account management, client services, campaign coordination, sales)
• Exposure to influencer marketing campaigns, creator partnerships, or the broader creator economy is a strong advantage
• Familiarity with outbound sales motions — cold outreach, discovery calls, pipeline management

Skills & Attributes:

• Strong written and verbal communication — you can write a cold email that actually gets replies
• Organised and self-directed — you're comfortable working remotely without hand-holding
• Commercially minded — you understand what moves a deal forward and what stalls it
• CRM proficiency (HubSpot, Notion, or similar)
• Genuine interest in influencer marketing, social media, and the creator economy

Compensation

• Structure: B2B contract
• Base salary: Competitive, commensurate with experience
• Commission: Performance-based, uncapped — tied to qualified meetings booked and deals closed
• Location: Fully remote
