About GigLearnGigLearn is building a platform that connects college students with real paid work opportunities from businesses.

We believe students should not have to wait until graduation to prove what they can do, and businesses should have an easier way to access young, skilled talent for real work.

Our goal is simple

Help students Learn, Work and Earn while helping businesses get significant work done.

We are still early, which means we are looking for people who want to build with us, not just work for us.

About the RoleWe are looking for a Business Development Executive who genuinely wants to experience what building an early-stage startup feels like.

This is not a typical 9-to-5 sales role where you receive a fixed script, call a list, update a CRM and go home.

You will work closely with the founder to identify businesses, understand their problems, start conversations with decision-makers and help turn those conversations into real paid gigs on GigLearn.

Your goal is not simply to book meetings.

Your goal is to help businesses discover work that can be delegated through GigLearn and move them towards posting their first successful gig.

What You’ll Do

- Research and identify potential businesses that could use GigLearn
- Reach out to founders, business owners and decision-makers through LinkedIn, calls, WhatsApp, email and other channels
- Start genuine conversations instead of sending generic sales pitches
- Understand the problems and repetitive work businesses currently face
- Qualify businesses based on their needs, urgency, and fit with GigLearn
- Book meaningful discovery conversations for qualified businesses
- Follow up consistently with interested prospects
- Work closely with the founder on messaging, positioning,



and sales experiments
- Help businesses move from interest → discussion → gig creation → first posted gig
- Maintain a clean pipeline of prospects, conversations, and opportunities
- Share insights from business conversations so we can improve the product

- What We Are Looking ForWe care more about your mindset, communication, and willingness to learn than the number of years on your CV. You might be a good fit if:

- You genuinely want to work in an early-stage startup
- You are comfortable with uncertainty and figuring things out
- You enjoy talking to new people and understanding how businesses work
- You are curious and ask good questions
- You can communicate clearly and confidently
- You are comfortable with cold outreach and follow-ups
- You take ownership instead of waiting for detailed instructions
- You are okay experimenting with different approaches and learning from rejection
- You care about outcomes, not just completing assigned tasks
- You want to understand sales, startups, marketplaces, and business development deeply

This Role May NOT Be For You If
- You are mainly looking for a predictable 9-to-5 role
- You need every task and process to already be defined
- You are uncomfortable reaching out to strangers
- You dislike follow-ups or hearing “no”
- You only want to complete assigned tasks without taking ownership




- You want a large-company environment with established systems and layers of management

There will be structure, targets and accountability — but because we are early-stage, you will also help us create the structure itself. Skills

- B2B Sales
- Lead Generation
- Prospecting

What Success Looks LikeWe will not judge success only by the number of calls you make.

We care about outcomes such as:

Target businesses identified

→ meaningful conversations started

→ qualified opportunities created

→ discovery calls

→ businesses creating gigs

→ first successful paid gig

Your work should eventually result in more businesses actively using GigLearn.

Why Join GigLearn?Because you will get to see and influence how an early-stage company is actually built.

You will work directly with the founder, speak with real businesses, experiment with acquisition strategies, influence the product and see your conversations turn into actual opportunities for students.

You will not be joining a finished machine.

You will help build the machine.

If that sounds exciting rather than uncomfortable, we would love to hear from you.

When ApplyingPlease do not send only a generic CV.
