We’re seeking a driven, ambitious Junior Business Development Associate to help us drive partnership discussions with enterprise companies. You’ll work directly with our Sales Director and CEO to close deals, run customer trials, and deliver compelling presentations, while growing into someone who owns partnerships and closes deals yourself.
Join partnership and sales conversations, prepare materials, and turn discussions into clear next steps. Push deals forward: build decks, draft proposals, chase follow-ups, and support leadership in closing. Deliver polished, high-impact sales presentations and proposals. Run customer trials end-to-end: set expectations, track progress, communicate clearly, and ensure we deliver on promises. Keep trials and deals on track by spotting blockers early and making sure momentum never stalls. Over time, take ownership of your own partnership discussions and start closing deals independently.
