Business Development Manager Needed

I want to accelerate our growth by uniting three core activities under one accountable lead. The role centres on up-to-date industry-trend research, disciplined lead generation, and hands-on client relationship management through to a clean hand-off to sales.

Market research will start with a deep dive into current industry trends—data-driven insights that show where spending is moving, which technologies or services are being adopted fastest, and what gaps our competitors leave open. Solid facts, cited sources, and clear implications for our roadmap are essential.

From there, the findings feed directly into a lead-generation engine. I need repeatable tactics—LinkedIn outreach, targeted email sequences, and CRM-ready prospect lists—supported by concise performance metrics so we can double down on channels that work.

Finally, every qualified prospect must experience proactive, value-driven relationship building. That means timely follow-ups logged in HubSpot or Salesforce (whichever you prefer), personalised content sharing, and smooth coordination with our internal sales reps when an opportunity reaches proposal stage.

Deliverables (all discrete):
• Trend analysis report with actionable recommendations
• 300 new, verified leads aligned to the report’s opportunity map
• A 30-day engagement plan inside our CRM, including touch-point templates and pipeline stages

Acceptance criteria:
– All data sources cited; insights traceable
– Leads contain full contact details, opt-in status, and segmentation tags
– CRM workspace shows every interaction and next step, ready for the sales team to take over

Timelines are flexible during onboarding, but I expect the first research draft within two weeks so that lead generation can kick off immediately afterward. Let’s align early on preferred tools, KPIs, and check-in cadence so that execution stays fast and transparent.
