Role Overview

Were looking for a BD Manager to drive new business for Social Lift across India. This is a hunting role - finding brands that are underinvested in social media, opening conversations via outreach, and converting them into signed, retained clients. You will own the deal from first email to signed contract, then work closely with the delivery team to ensure a smooth handover and long-term account health.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and prospect brands and businesses that need help managing and growing their social media presence - across YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and website.
• Run structured email outreach and lead-generation campaigns to reach marketing and founder-level decision-makers.
• Pitch Social Lift as the solution for brands that see the value of social media but lack the resources or skills to execute it themselves.
• Present and customize Social Lift packages (starting from 1.5-2 lakh) to match a prospects size, goals and budget.
• Own the full sales cycle - prospecting, pitching, negotiation, and closing.
• Work closely with the delivery/content team to ensure a smooth onboarding handover for every closed deal.
• Stay engaged post-sale to support client retention, renewals, and stakeholder management.
• Maintain a clean, up-to-date pipeline (CRM/tracker) and report on outreach volume, conversion and revenue targets.

What Were Looking For

• 3-6 years of brand or agency sales experience - agency, media or digital marketing background preferred.
• Strong written communication skills; comfortable writing and running email outreach campaigns.
• Working understanding of social media platforms (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn) and what "good" content/growth looks like.
• Confident, consultative sales style - able to identify a brands gap and position Social Lift as the fix.
• Self-starter who is comfortable owning targets independently.
• Bachelors degree preferred; degree in marketing/business is a plus, not mandatory.

Good to Have

• Existing network of marketing/brand decision-makers.
• Prior experience selling subscription or retainer-based services (agency, SaaS, or media).
• Familiarity with CRM tools (HubSpot, Zoho, or similar).
