Who We Are:

We are a dynamic startup on a high-growth trajectory. Our founding team is looking for a hungry and proactive junior Business Development Associate (BDA/BDE) to be a force multiplier. This isn't a typical internship; this is a hands-on role where you will be directly impacting our growth from day one. If you're ready to learn fast, take ownership, and grow with us, we want you.

Your Mission:

To directly support the founding team in generating pipeline, building market presence, and establishing key customer relationships that drive our business forward.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Lead Generation & Market Intelligence:

• Work directly with founders to identify and research new market opportunities, target segments, and ideal customer profiles.
• Proactively generate qualified leads through diligent research, social selling (LinkedIn), and other outbound channels.
• Build and maintain a healthy sales pipeline in our CRM.

2. Event Execution & Presence:

• Be a key participant in industry events, conferences, and conclaves. This includes:

• Pre-Event: Conducting research on attendees, helping set goals, and preparing marketing/branding collateral.

• At-Event: Exhibiting our product, confidently engaging attendees, generating leads, and representing our brand.
• Post-Event: Conducting analysis on ROI, following up with leads meticulously, and preparing detailed event summary reports.

3. Founding Team Support & Coordination:

• Provide direct support to founders for meetings: preparation of pitch decks, one-pagers, and briefing documents.
• Maintain excellent customer relations through professional and timely communication.
• Handle crucial coordination between clients, partners, and the internal team.

4. Strategic Operations:

• Plan, organize, and manage the monthly calendar of activities, campaigns, and events.
• Prepare and present regular reports on lead generation, outreach metrics, and campaign results to the founding team.

Who You Are (Requirements):

• A Proactive "Doer": You don't wait for instructions. You see a problem or an opportunity and you take initiative.
• An Exceptional Communicator: You have impeccable verbal and written English skills. You can confidently talk to anyone, from a potential client to a industry expert.
• A Start-Up Enthusiast: You thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and are energized by the challenge of building something from the ground up. You are ready to wear multiple hats.
• A Relationship Builder: You're naturally curious, a good listener, and enjoy connecting with people.
• Highly Organized & Analytical: You can juggle multiple tasks, manage a calendar, and use data to inform your actions.
• A Quick Learner: You have a hunger to learn about our product, our market, and the art of business development.

Qualifications:

• 0-2 years of experience in sales, business development, or a customer-facing role. (Fresh graduates with relevant project experience are encouraged to apply).
• Proficiency in Google Workspace/MS Office Suite.
• Familiarity with LinkedIn Sales Navigator or a CRM is a strong plus.

What You'll Get:

• Unmatched Experience: Work directly with the founders and see how a startup operates from the inside.
• Significant Responsibility: Own projects and make a tangible impact on the company's success from the start.
• Rapid Skill Development: Accelerate your learning in sales, marketing, strategy, and operations.
