Company Description QwikScrap is an online scrap pickup service in Chennai. Households and businesses book a doorstep pickup, get an instant price and are paid on the spot, and the material goes to certified recyclers for responsible processing. We are a small, fast-moving team, and you will work directly with the founders from day one.

Role Description QwikScrap is looking for a Business Development Associate to work directly with the founders on growing pickup volumes. You'll turn enquiries into confirmed pickups, bring in current sellers through online marketplaces, and support the operations behind every pickup.

- Own lead conversion: call and follow up on enquiries from the website, ads and WhatsApp quickly, qualify them, share quotes and convert them into confirmed pickups
- Source new sellers on OLX and similar platforms: find listings of scrap, old appliances and e-waste, reach out, and turn sellers into pickups
- Build relationships with bulk and business sellers (offices, factories, cafs, apartments): handle inquiries, prepare quotations and set up recurring pickups
- Coordinate confirmed pickups with the operations team and pickup agents: slots,



reschedules and customer updates until the pickup is completed
- Handle customer calls, callbacks and WhatsApp queries, resolve issues and escalate what you can't
- Maintain the lead and pickup tracker: lead source, status, conversion, weights, rates and payouts (cash/UPI)
- Support invoicing and GST-ready records for business customers and for material handed to recyclers
- Report weekly to the founders on leads, conversion and pickups by source, and research competitor rates and new areas to improve conversion

- Comfortable with Excel/Google Sheets and basic reporting
- Fluent in Tamil and English (spoken and written)
- Willing to work on-site and spend time in the field when needed
- Preferred: an internship or project in sales, lead generation or customer-facing work, and interest in recycling or startups
