I run a UK-based executive search business specialising in high-growth technology companies across AI infrastructure, data and cybersecurity.
I’m looking for a smart, proactive and highly organised person to work directly with me and help build and manage the early stages of our business development process.
Initially, the role will focus heavily on company research, lead generation and outbound business development. As you learn our markets and what makes a strong candidate, there will be an opportunity to expand your role into candidate sourcing and talent mapping.
What You’ll Do
- Research and identify high-growth technology companies that fit our target client profile.
- Map target accounts and identify the right senior decision-makers, including Founders, CEOs, CROs, Sales Leaders and Talent Leaders.
- Use LinkedIn and Sales Navigator to research companies and contacts.
- Find and verify relevant contact information.
- Build and maintain organised prospect lists within our CRM.
- Support LinkedIn and email outreach campaigns.
- Manage follow-ups and keep outreach moving consistently.
- Track engagement and flag interested prospects for me to personally take forward.
- Research useful business development signals such as funding, hiring activity, leadership changes and company growth.
- Over time, help map potential candidates across specific companies and markets.
- Eventually support initial candidate outreach and recruitment pipeline management.
What You Bring
- Excellent written and spoken English.
- Strong online research skills and genuine curiosity.
- Experience using LinkedIn for prospecting, lead generation or candidate sourcing.
- Excellent attention to detail.
- Strong organisation and ability to manage your own workload.
- Comfortable learning new technology and systems.
- Proactive — I want someone who can eventually take ownership of this area rather than simply wait for individual tasks.
- Good judgement and an ability to understand why one company or person may be more relevant than another.
Nice to Have
- LinkedIn Sales Navigator experience.
- B2B lead generation or sales development experience.
- Recruitment sourcing or executive search experience.
- Experience using CRM or recruitment ATS platforms.
- Experience with email outreach and data-enrichment tools.
- Experience using ChatGPT, Claude or other AI tools to improve research and productivity.
- Previous exposure to B2B technology, SaaS, cybersecurity, data or AI companies.
Role Details
Location: Remote – Philippines
Hours: Initially 15–20 hours per week
Salary USD: $6 - $8 per hour
Working pattern: Flexible, although some overlap with UK working hours will be helpful
Long-term potential: Opportunity to increase responsibility and hours as the role develops
This role would suit someone who enjoys research, technology and figuring things out. I’m not looking for someone who simply wants a list of administrative tasks to complete each day. I’m looking for someone who can learn the business, understand what we’re trying to achieve and gradually take ownership of the research and outbound engine behind it.
