Job Description
Schedule: Monday to Friday
Shift: Monday - Friday 5:00 PM – 1:00 AM PHT
Type: Full-time, Independent Contractor, remote (this must be your only job). No other employment or freelance projects.
Key responsibilities:
New business
- Build and manage a pipeline of new contracts: prospecting, outreach, pitching, and closing
- Own revenue targets and report on pipeline, conversion, and closed deals weekly
- Prepare proposals, pitch decks, and pricing in coordination with leadership
Influencer brand deals
- Secure paid partnerships, sponsorships, and brand deals for the influencer brands on the roster

- Work with the CEO, Social Media Growth Specialist, and Community Engagement Specialist to map business goals and align sales targets with what the team can deliver
- Help build repeatable sales processes, templates, and a CRM the team can rely on
Unique skillset:
- Hunter mindset: comfortable with cold outreach, follow-ups, and rejection; keeps pushing until deals close
- Two-sided selling: can sell agency services to businesses and sell talent to brand marketing teams
- Strong negotiator: knows influencer rate cards, usage rights, exclusivity, and how to protect talent value
- Existing network: relationships with brand managers, marketing agencies, or PR teams already in place
- Commercial and numbers-driven: understands margins, forecasting, and which deals actually grow the business
- Consistent and self-managed: keeps a steady weekly rhythm of outreach and reporting without being chased
- Clear communicator: polished on calls, in proposals, and over email; represents the brand well
Nice to have:
- Experience with a CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive, or similar)
- Understanding of social media metrics (reach, engagement, conversion) to back up pitches with data
- Preferred industry experience
- 10+ years in business development, partnerships, or sales
- Top fit: influencer marketing agency, talent management, or creator economy company
- Strong fit: digital or social media agency, PR agency, or brand partnerships at a media company
- Good fit: brand-side marketing (someone who has bought influencer deals and knows how brands decide)
- Track record of closing deals with measurable revenue, ideally with numbers they can share
What success looks like:
- Month 1: pipeline and CRM set up, target brand and client list built, first outreach running
- Month 3: first new contracts and brand deals closed, steady weekly deal flow
- Month 6: PBS on a sustainable, predictable revenue run with repeat clients and brand partners
- Beyond month 6: as the company grows, potential to move into a senior business development role and build out a team
