Business Development Specialist

Business Development Specialist (Part-Time / Remote) 
Budget: 4-7$ per hour.

About the Role
We are a growing consultancy and advisory startup looking for a driven and resourceful Business Development Specialist to help us generate high-quality leads and grow our client base. This is a remote, part-time position (with the potential to transition to full-time) ideal for someone who takes initiative, values quality over quantity, and thrives in a flexible, results-driven environment.

What You'll Do
Scrape, filter, and qualify leads using Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and similar platforms
Conduct targeted research on potential clients to understand their business, pain points, and needs

• Craft personalized outreach (emails, LinkedIn messages) — no generic templates
• Make outbound calls to qualify and engage prospects
• Book discovery calls or appointments with qualified leads for the founder
• Continuously refine outreach strategies and suggest improvements to the process
• Maintain a clean and organized lead pipeline

What We're Looking For
Experience with Apollo and/or LinkedIn Sales Navigator for lead generation
Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
Ability to conduct quick but meaningful research on prospects and companies
A quality-first mindset — we care about qualified leads, not call volume

• Someone who can think independently, use common sense, and bring fresh ideas to the table
• Self-motivated and comfortable working with minimal supervision

• Comfortable working remotely across time zones
  English B2 Required
  Confortable using AI tools 

Nice to Have

• Prior experience in B2B sales, outreach, or business development
• Familiarity with CRM tools
• Background in consulting, advisory, or professional services industries

What Success Looks Like
You don't need to make 500 calls a day. If you can engage 50 prospects and convert even 1–2 qualified leads, that's a win. We value thoughtful, well-researched outreach over high-volume spray-and-pray tactics.

Work Setup

Remote — work from anywhere

Part-time — 20 hours/week to start (4 hours/day)

Growth opportunity — potential to move to full-time based on performance
