About the Role

- Build and manage a structured pipeline of 50+ active prospects, with clear qualification, nurturing, and conversion stages
- Craft highly personalized outreach — from initial introductions to formal partnership proposals — tailored to each segment's priorities
- Represent Knowledge Networks at international conferences, roundtables, and industry forums to build brand visibility and source inbound leads
- Develop and maintain long-term relationships with C-suite executives, General Counsel, Chief AI Officers, and policy directors
- Collaborate with platform leads to structure tiered partnership packages with compelling ROI narratives
- Report weekly on pipeline performance, outreach velocity,



and revenue forecasts directly to the Founder & Chairman

Requirements

- Experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles (3–12 months)
- Hands-on CRM experience (Zoho) with disciplined pipeline management
- Strong writing skills — able to produce polished proposals, pitch decks, and executive briefings independently

Strongly Preferred

- Existing network within global corporates, law firms, or multilateral institutions
- Experience working across multiple geographies (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific)
- Background in marketing, communications, or content-led outreach strategies
- Comfort operating across digital media, events, and programmatic sponsorship formats

Skills & Competencies

- Executive communication — equally persuasive in a boardroom, a written proposal, and a cold email
- Strategic framing — able to connect partner priorities to platform value propositions with precision
- Resilience & drive — thrives on rejection, iterates fast, and maintains high outreach volumes without sacrificing quality
- Cross-cultural fluency — experienced navigating different institutional cultures and decision-making styles internationally
- Entrepreneurial instinct — comfortable with ambiguity, able to build processes from scratch in a lean, founder-led environment

What We Offer

- Base salary + performance-linked commission on closed partnerships and sponsorships
- Direct access to and mentorship from a globally connected Founder & Chairman
