• Create compelling business proposals, presentations, and pitch decks to win new business.
• Collaborate with the marketing team to design and implement marketing campaigns (digital, content, events) that drive lead generation.
• Monitor and report on key performance indicators (KPIs), including lead conversion rates, campaign performance, and ROI.
• Nurture relationships with existing clients and partners to drive business expansion and retention.
• Prepare regular strategic reports and present findings and recommendations to senior leadership.
• Support cross-functional initiatives, working closely with sales, operations, and product teams to align business development activities with company goals.

• Proven experience (2–5 years) in business development, marketing, business analysis, or a related function.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience in market research and data analysis.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills — able to craft and deliver persuasive presentations and proposals.
• Proficiency in tools such as MS Excel, PowerPoint, CRM systems, and data visualization tools.
• Results-driven, self-starter, able to operate independently as well as collaboratively.
• High level of organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet deadlines.
• Strong interpersonal skills: ability to build and maintain relationships with clients, partners, and internal stakeholders.
• Familiarity with digital marketing channels (email, social media, content) is a plus.
• A growth mindset: you’re comfortable experimenting, measuring, learning, and iterating.
