Business Development Manager

Growthpep · Mumbai, India

The role

This is a true new-business role. You'll own the top of our funnel: finding fit D2C brands, getting into

conversations with their founders and growth leads, qualifying hard, and walking them up to a signed

retainer alongside the founder. It's a build-from-cold-start role, not an inbound-pipeline-management

one — so it suits someone who likes the hunt.

We're hiring for two phases, in this order:

• Phase 1 (your first job): Win new clients — prospecting, outreach, discovery calls, tailoring the

pitch, handling objections and helping close.

•Phase 2 (as you ramp): Grow and retain the accounts you closed — spotting upsell,

deepening relationships and becoming a full-cycle BD owner as you earn it.

You won't run campaigns — our delivery team does that. But you'll need to be credible enough on

performance marketing that a sharp D2C founder takes you seriously.

What you'll do:

• Build targeted prospect lists and run outbound (email, LinkedIn, calls)

• Hold credible discovery calls with D2C founders

• Tailor the pitch and co-run the close

• Manage & grow the existing accounts

What we're looking for:

• 2–3 years generating your own B2B / agency / D2C sales pipeline (not just inbound)

• Confident on ROAS, CAC, attribution and creative testing — you won't run campaigns, but you'll talk shop

• Sharp qualification, calm under objections, disciplined follow-up

• Owner's mindset - you'll often be the only Growthpep person in the room

Compensation: Fixed base + uncapped commission.

To apply: email with one brand you'd win for us and how you'd land the first meeting.
