Business Development Executive

We're looking for a commercially sharp Sales & Business Development Executive to own B2B enterprise outreach, drive net-new revenue, building an outbound pipeline beyond our existing tender channels and closing deals across our services.

Job Description:

  • Own and respond to inbound lead enquiries fast — qualify, pitch, negotiate, and close
  • Manage tender opportunities end to end: qualify the right ones, build the response, and drive them to award
  • Follow up consistently and persistently with leads to drive conversion
  • Generate net-new business through proactive outreach, referrals, networking, and partnerships with a specific mandate to build non-tender, inbound, and recurring revenue streams
  • Develop and present tailored proposals and creative campaign concepts that win
  • Hit quarterly revenue targets; own your pipeline and forecast
  • Identify upsell, cross-sell, and retainer/continuity opportunities to grow client lifetime value and convert one-off projects into recurring revenue
  • Reactivate and grow relationships with past and dormant clients
  • Maintain disciplined CRM records, pipeline hygiene, and weekly reporting on performance, forecast, and client insight
  • Translate won work into clear briefs for the delivery team, then hand off cleanly — your focus stays on selling, not project-managing
  • Track competitor activity and market shifts; feed insight back into sales strategy and our service offering

Requirements:

  • Diploma / Bachelor’s Degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, or related field
  • Minimum 2 years of relevant sales or business development experience
  • Strong understanding (or willingness to learn fast) in events and media production industry
  • Proven ability to generate leads and close deals
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills
  • Highly self-motivated, results-driven, and disciplined
  • Strong organizational and documentation skills with attention to detail
  • Able to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
