Business Development Executive
Find the right founders, start the right conversations, and feed the audit, blueprint, DWY pipeline with deals worth closing.
The Role
You sit at the very top of our outbound motion. Research the right founders, write the opening message, run the follow-ups, and book the calls that turn first contact into real pipeline. Every prospect you talk to walks away with the same impression of KnowAI: clear, considered, never spammy.
This is not a script-and-blast role. You'll write your own copy, run your own experiments, and build the habits that compound into a real outbound engine.
What You’ll Do
- Research target founders, industries, and buyer personas that fit our ICP - build the prospect lists every week
- Run outbound prospecting across email, LinkedIn, and DMs. Write the opening message, follow up like a professional
- Book qualified audit and discovery calls for the senior BD team
- Write first-touch copy that doesn't sound like every other outreach in the inbox
- Maintain CRM hygiene - track every prospect, stage, conversation, and next step
- Send proposals and contracts drafted by the BDM, chase signatures, close the loop
- Surface market signals weekly - recurring objections, repeated asks, founder patterns
- Use AI tools (Claude, GPT, outreach automation) to scale research and personalisation
What we’re looking for
- 2-3 years in B2B sales, BD, or inside sales with real pipeline ownership
- Sharp written communicator - cold outreach that gets replies, not deletions
- Disciplined follow-up system that keeps deals alive through the full cycle
- Familiarity with CRM and outreach tools (HubSpot, Apollo, Instantly)
- Genuine curiosity about AI - you use it daily, not just pitch it
What You Bring
Must Have
- 2-3 years in sales, BD, or inside sales with a B2B services, SaaS, or agency background
- Clear, sharp written English - hold a conversation by text without sounding scripted
- Disciplined with follow-ups - you don't lose deals because day three went unanswered
- Comfortable with CRM and outreach tools (HubSpot, Apollo, Instantly, or equivalent)
- Self-starter who builds systems, not someone who waits for a sequence
- Genuinely curious about AI - you use it daily, even if you can't build it
Nice to Have
- Experience selling to founders, SMBs, or B2B consulting and services buyers
- Worked inside a creator-led or content-led business before
- Exposure to a high-ticket sales motion ($10K+ engagements)
- Comfortable using AI tools for research, prospect intelligence, and personalisation at scale
Above market pay, offered individually based on skill and experience. Skip the cover letter. Show us a deal you booked, a list you built from nothing, or a follow-up sequence that actually converted. Real beats résumé.
