Brief Job Description

We are looking for a Business Development Intern who is confident, articulate, curious, and genuinely enjoys talking to people. This is a paid, part-time, in-office role at our Bandra workspace and a great way to get real sales experience early.

What You Will Be Doing

• Call inbound leads and have initial conversations to understand their requirements and assess fit
• Follow up with leads over calls, WhatsApp, and email to keep conversations moving
• Ask the right questions, understand what a prospect is looking for, and capture relevant information
• Maintain and update our lead tracker accurately, including call outcomes, follow-ups, lead status, and next steps
• Coordinate with the team when a lead is ready to move to the next stage of the sales process
• Sit in on sales calls and pitches to understand how we approach potential clients
• Assist the business development team with basic research, outreach, and other sales-related tasks

Requirements

• Pursuing or recently completed a degree in any discipline. Marketing, communications, or something similar is a bonus, not a requirement
• Excellent, eloquent communication skills are non-negotiable. You should be able to write a follow-up message that makes someone smile and hold a conversation that makes someone trust you within five minutes
• Confident enough to strike up a conversation with a total stranger and make it feel natural, not scripted
• Strong interpersonal skills, you build rapport fast, and people remember talking to you
• Good attention to detail, your trackers and lead updates don't have loose ends
• Proactive and hungry to learn everything there is to know about sales, business development, and marketing

What's In It For You

• Direct mentorship from senior leadership (you won't be lost in a hierarchy)
• Exposure to interesting brands, sharp creative work, and the inner workings of an agency that takes both psychology and performance seriously
• The training to turn good instincts into great ones

If you're early in your career but confident in what you bring to the table, and you're looking for a team that'll actually sharpen that, we want to hear your story.
