Business Development Director

Overview

As the Business Development Director, you are going to be the primary driver of new sales at Duke & Duck. Working closely with our Co-Founder Alex, you’ll help set the outbound sales strategy and lead the execution of that strategy.

We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys connecting with people and helping them to solve their problems. This isn’t a good role for someone who is primarily or only interested in making money. But, if you like the idea of working with a small incredible team of kind, creative, and passionate people and making money, this could be the job for you.

Here’s what you will be doing:

Identifying great national and international prospects that match our client profile
Making outbound calls, and maintaining relationships with prospects via consistent correspondence
Drafting memos, proposals, pitch decks, and related materials in collaboration with our creative team
Ensuring a smooth transition from sale to production
Managing our company sales pipeline to achieve new business targets
Holding weekly sales planning meetings with leadership
Working with the marketing team to develop content and drive new client acquisition
Serving as the internal point of contact for all sales related inquiries and needs
Requirements

More than any specific set of skills and experiences, we’re looking for someone with a service mentality who genuinely wants to help our clients tell their stories, and to leave the world a better place than you found it.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

7-10 years of professional experience in business development or account management, ideally within an agency, consulting, or video production firm.
A proven passion for solving problems and achieving goals.
Excellent communication, collaboration, and relationship-building skills.
Clear, concise and engaging business writing skills.
Comfort with a high volume of client interaction via phone, email, Zoom, or whatever’s next—VR sales calls?
Discomfort with unanswered emails and unreturned calls.
Impeccable ethical standards and professionalism.
Eligibility to work in the USA.

Bonus points:

Experience with Hubspot CRM and Apollo.io
A strong network in the advertising industry
