About the Company

We help businesses connect and transact with talent across the entertainment industry. Our products and services are built to simplify how companies and creators do business together across music, sports, film and television, and digital media. The focus is on long-term relationships, trust, and scalable partnership management.

Role Overview

We are hiring a highly organized, relationship-driven Business Development Manager to manage and grow a large portfolio of professional entertainment industry contacts.

This is a high-volume, writing-intensive outreach role focused on building new partnerships, reactivating dormant relationships, and maintaining consistent engagement across hundreds of accounts. While leads are provided, this role requires proactive outreach, follow-up discipline, and strong written communication.

This is not a traditional hard sales role. Success is driven by thoughtful outreach, relationship warming, and consistent execution against clear activity and engagement targets.

Key Responsibilities

Manage a large portfolio of 700+ professional contacts across music, sports, film and TV, and digital media
Execute daily outbound outreach primarily via email, with some social follow-up, using provided leads
Send a minimum of 50 emails per day, with a target range of 60 to 80 well-crafted messages
Build new partnerships while re-engaging previously active or dormant accounts
Maintain accurate records, follow-ups, and engagement tracking within HubSpot
Achieve weekly engagement and activation targets, including closing 70+ accounts per week
Ensure at least 40 weekly activations are new or previously non-engaged accounts
Collaborate on improving CRM workflows, sequences, and messaging templates
Think creatively about ways to keep relationships warm, responsive, and productive over time

Required Hard Skills

Excellent written English with the ability to write clear, natural, professional outreach emails
Proven experience in outbound outreach, business development, sales, or partnership roles
Strong CRM experience, ideally HubSpot or a similar system
Ability to manage high outreach volume without sacrificing message quality
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail across large account lists

Required Soft Skills

Self-motivated and disciplined with the ability to work independently
Relationship-focused mindset with patience and consistency
Comfortable working toward daily and weekly performance targets
Adaptable and open to feedback on messaging and workflows
Genuine interest in the business side of the entertainment industry

About the Candidate

Entertainment industry experience is a plus but not required. Strong relationship management skills are transferable
Candidates with prior sales or partnership experience often perform well due to the new-account focus
Spanish fluency is a plus but not required
Must be a fluent English writer. Candidates will be tested to ensure strong writing skills without reliance on AI tools

What Success Looks Like (First 60 to 90 Days)

Consistently hitting daily outreach targets
Maintaining response rates in the 30 to 50 percent range depending on contact type
Closing 70+ accounts weekly, with a strong mix of new and reactivated relationships
