About the Role

AFH is looking for a driven Business Development Executive to grow our client base and lead the process of turning prospects into partners. This is an end-to-end business development role — from identifying and researching new clients, through crafting proposals and pitching, to supporting execution once a project is won. The ideal candidate is a strong communicator who is comfortable working independently in a remote setup and is quick to adopt AI tools to work smarter and faster.

Key Responsibilities

•⁠ ⁠Identify, research, and build a pipeline of new client and partnership opportunities relevant to AFH's work.

•⁠ ⁠Reach out to prospective clients and partners through calls, emails, and networking to generate interest and qualify leads.

•⁠ ⁠Develop compelling, well-structured proposals and pitch decks tailored to each prospect's needs.

•⁠ ⁠Lead or support pitch meetings and presentations, representing AFH professionally to external stakeholders.

•⁠ ⁠Negotiate terms and close new business, working closely with leadership on deal structuring.

•⁠ ⁠Coordinate with internal teams during project execution to ensure client commitments made during the sales process are delivered on.

•⁠ ⁠Maintain accurate records of leads, proposals, and client interactions (pipeline tracking, follow-ups, status updates).

•⁠ ⁠Use AI tools to speed up research, proposal drafting, and outreach personalization.

Required Skills & Qualifications

•⁠ ⁠3–4 years of experience in business development, sales, client acquisition, or a related field.

•⁠ ⁠Excellent written and verbal communication skills — able to write persuasively and present confidently.

•⁠ ⁠Strong working knowledge of MS Word (proposal and document creation) and MS Excel (pipeline tracking, basic data analysis).

•⁠ ⁠Comfortable using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT/Claude or similar) to support research, writing, and productivity.

•⁠ ⁠Proven ability to manage the full business development cycle — from prospecting to closing to execution handoff.

•⁠ ⁠Self-motivated and organized, with the discipline to work effectively in a remote, work-from-home environment.

•⁠ ⁠Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field preferred.

Good to Have

•⁠ ⁠Prior experience in the social impact / nonprofit sector or with mission-driven organizations.

•⁠ ⁠Experience with CRM tools for pipeline management.
