Business Development Executive

Location: Fully Remote | Flexible Schedule

Are you a natural communicator who enjoys connecting with people, building relationships, and helping businesses grow?

We're looking for a smart, organized, personable, and self-motivated Business Development Executive to help generate new conversations and opportunities for our growing marketing agency. This role is ideal for someone who wants meaningful remote work with flexibility - including stay-at-home moms returning to the workforce or looking for a career they can build from home.

If you enjoy talking with people, are comfortable following up consistently, and like the idea of helping businesses solve problems, this could be a great fit.

What You'll Do:

• Research industries, businesses, and potential opportunities
• Reach out to prospective clients through email, phone, LinkedIn, and networking
• Start conversations and identify businesses that may be a fit for our services
• Schedule discovery meetings for our leadership team
• Build and maintain relationships through thoughtful follow-up
• Track outreach activity and notes inside our CRM
• Collaborate with our internal team on outreach strategies and growth ideas
• Help generate referrals, partnerships, and new business opportunities
• Stay organized and consistent with communication efforts

What We're Looking For:

• Friendly, professional communication skills
• Strong organization and follow-through
• Comfortable talking with people and building relationships
• Self-motivated and able to work independently
• Positive attitude, persistence, and patience
• Ability to manage your own schedule and stay accountable
• Previous sales, customer service, recruiting, account management, or business development experience is helpful - but personality and work ethic matter most

Bonus Points If You Have:

• Experience in marketing, advertising, or agency environments
• Familiarity with digital marketing services like websites, SEO, social media, or advertising
• Experience balancing multiple responsibilities and staying highly organized
• A track record of turning conversations into opportunities

Why This Role Works Well for Stay-at-Home Moms:

• Fully remote position
• Flexible schedule with autonomy
• Opportunity to grow professionally while working from home
• Meaningful work that values communication, organization, and relationship-building
• Supportive entrepreneurial team environment
• Performance-based growth opportunities

About Us:

We're an award-winning, entrepreneurial marketing agency that works with businesses and organizations across the country. We value smart strategy, creativity, genuine relationships, and people who take initiative.

We believe great business development is less about "hard selling" and more about creating authentic conversations and long-term relationships.
