Senior Business Development Manager — Born Hi
Bengaluru · Full-time, in office · Compensation benchmarked to senior agency BD roles in Bengaluru, discussed openly in the first call
We are an advertising, digital marketing and social media agency working with fashion, beauty, BFSI and consumer tech brands.

We're hiring one person to own new business — the complete cycle, from prospecting and meeting decision-makers to proposals, negotiation and close. This is a hands-on revenue role, not account management or lead coordination.
You will be starting cold and inherit a warm list and take inbound alongside your own outbound.

What you will do
Build a qualified pipeline through outreach, referrals, networking, LinkedIn, industry events and partnerships
Get to founders, CMOs, marketing heads and brand leaders — and get the meeting
Understand each prospect's business challenge, marketing objective, budget and decision process
Work with strategy and creative to build proposals that answer the brief
Prepare scopes of work, pricing, estimates and commercials
Present, handle objections, negotiate terms, close
Hand over cleanly to servicing and delivery
Keep CRM records, pipeline reports and forecasts honest

What we are looking for




5+ years in sales or business development, including at least three in advertising, digital, creative, media or social media agency sales
Existing relationships with senior marketing decision-makers — this is most of what makes the role work
A record of personally generating and closing current clients
Experience selling both retainers and project engagements
Sound grasp of agency proposals, scopes, pricing, margins and payment terms
Strong prospecting, presentation, negotiation and closing skills
Commercially driven, organised, persistent, comfortable creating opportunities independently
Working knowledge of CRM, presentation and spreadsheet tools

How you'll be measured
New revenue closed, and the quality of the pipeline you build. We'll talk targets and cycle expectations in the first conversation.

Why join us
Fashion, beauty, BFSI and consumer tech work across the board
Direct access to senior leadership
Real strategy and creative support on qualified pitches
Room to shape how the agency goes after new business
Career path toward Business Director / Head of New Business
