About 3rd Planet

3rd Planet Global is a creative-first agency working across Design Lab, Growth Lab, and Motions & Films Lab, with AI-led film and animation as its core strength. Clients include Truecaller, Paytm, JSW Paints, Acer EV, and FireAI.

Role Overview

We are hiring a Business Development Executive to secure long-term business partnerships with overseas clients. You will find prospects, build relationships with brand and marketing leaders, and get them onto Google Meet discovery calls that lead to partnerships.

Key Responsibilities

- Identify and profile target brands and decision-makers (CMOs, Marketing Heads, Founders) in assigned markets
- Run outbound outreach on LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, and email, using both the VP's profile (on their behalf) and your own
- Write personalised, market-appropriate outreach in the VP's voice and in your own
- Build relationships over time and turn warm conversations into Google Meet discovery calls
- Schedule calls with the VP and share the agenda and prospect brief beforehand
- Follow up after each call to move prospects from project work to long-term partnership




- Prepare for pitches by researching prospects and assembling credentials
- Track all leads, conversations, and pipeline stages in ClickUp
- Use AI tools for research, personalisation, and reporting

Requirements

- 2–4 years in business development or sales, preferably at a creative, digital, or marketing agency
- Proven outbound experience with international clients
- Hands-on with LinkedIn Sales Navigator and cold email tools (e.g. Apollo)
- Solid written and spoken English
- Comfortable working across time zones
- Structured, accountable, and consistent with follow-ups
- Bonus: Experience running paid lead-generation campaigns (LinkedIn, Meta, or Google Ads) in overseas markets

What Success Looks Like

- A steady flow of qualified Google Meet discovery calls with overseas decision-makers
- Discovery calls converting into signed overseas partnerships
- A clean, current pipeline with no dropped follow-ups

What We're Not Looking For People who send generic templated outreach at volume, anyone who sees BD as only lead lists, and candidates without real international client exposure.

I used the defaults for markets (US, UK, Singapore, Middle East) and work mode (fully remote), and left out compensation. Edit those lines before posting if any need to change.

- Should I draft the LinkedIn screening questions next?
