Job Description

Senior Business Development Manager — Born Hi

n

Bengaluru · Full time, in office · Compensation benchmarked to senior agency BD roles in Bengaluru, discussed openly in the first call

n

We are an advertising, digital marketing and social media agency working with fashion, beauty, BFSI and consumer tech brands.

n

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.

n

You will be starting cold and inherit a warm list and take inbound alongside your own outbound.

n

What you will do

n

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

n





What we are looking for

n

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

n

How you'll be measured

n

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

n

Why join us

n

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