Business Development Executive
Loop by Zolo
Build supply. Drive owner partnerships. Create the foundation for Loop’s expansion.
Offered CTC: 4.5 LPA to 5.5 LPA
Why this role exists
Loop by Zolo is scaling its presence across cities by partnering with property owners and building vibrant, community-led stays designed for young travellers.
Growth starts with finding the right properties and the right owners.
The challenge is not just identifying potential properties — it is building trust with owners, understanding the asset, running structured conversations, and consistently moving opportunities forward .
Most conversations do not convert because of poor follow-ups, unstructured pitching, lack of persistence, or a mismatch between the property and what the business needs.
This role exists to ensure that:
Every owner interaction is thoughtful and structured
Every potential property is understood and qualified
Every opportunity is tracked and progressed
Every conversation contributes to a growing, high-quality supply pipeline
If the Business Development Executive is strong, the supply pipeline builds consistently and the right properties move towards closure.
If the Business Development Executive is weak, opportunities drop, follow-ups break, unsuitable properties consume time, and expansion slows.
Your mandate is clear
Build and maintain a strong pipeline of property owner conversations
Identify properties that could fit the Loop proposition
Drive consistent outreach and field meetings
Run structured, insight-driven owner conversations
Understand owner expectations and identify deal blockers
Ensure disciplined follow-ups and deal progression
Maintain clean and reliable pipeline data
This is not a coordination role.
It is a field-driven, execution-heavy, ownership role with direct impact on Loop’s expansion.
