Job description

Business Development Manager — US Market | India Full-time, remote)

We're a digital marketing agency serving clients in the United States. We're hiring a Business Development Manager to build our US pipeline: find the right companies, reach them, qualify them, and book them onto our founder's calendar.

You own everything up to the sales call. Our founder closes. Your job is to keep his calendar full of the right conversations — and you're paid additionally on every client that comes from them.

Read this before applying

We are only considering people who have done business development for a digital marketing agency selling to clients in the United States. You must have personally sold agency services — SEO, paid ads, web design, social media or email marketing — to US businesses.

If your experience is in IT services, software development, staffing, SaaS products, or selling digital marketing to the Indian or other domestic markets, this role is not a match, however strong your sales record is.

What you'll do

• Build and maintain targeted prospect lists of US businesses that fit our ideal client profile
• Run multi-channel outbound — cold email, LinkedIn and phone — sequenced together across 5–8 touches, not one-off blasts
• Write and test your own outreach copy, personalised to the prospect's situation rather than merge-tag templates
• Qualify replies on need, budget, timeline and decision maker before booking anything
• Book qualified discovery calls and brief the founder before each one
• Keep the CRM clean and report weekly on activity, reply rates, meetings booked and meetings held
• Follow up on open proposals and keep dormant prospects warm

What you needed

• 3–5 years in B2B business development, of which at least 2 years selling digital marketing agency services to US clients
• You can name the agencies you worked for, the services and price points you sold, and the number of qualified meetings you booked per month
• You know how US business owners talk about marketing — what they've been burned by, what they ask about ROI, why they leave their last agency
• Hands‑on cold email experience at scale: list building, deliverability basics, sequencing, and testing subject lines and copy
• Comfortable with LinkedIn outreach and Sales Navigator
• Willing to pick up the phone. Cold calling is part of this role.
• Excellent spoken and written English — a US prospect should never have to work to understand you
• CRM discipline (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Gohighlevel or similar)
• Available for a 3–4 hour evening overlap with US time zones

Good to have

Experience in a defined vertical rather than a broad list; familiarity with prospecting tools such as Apollo, Clay, Instantly or Smartlead; having sold retainer engagements rather than one‑off projects; using AI tools for research and list enrichment.

Details

• Full‑time, in‑office in Ahmedabad
• IST day shift with a 3–4 hour evening overlap for US calls
• ₹4,00,000 – ₹8,00,000 base per year, plus uncapped commission on every client you source
• Target once ramped: 10–12 qualified meetings held per month
