Birdie Advisory is a growing UAE-based consultancy supporting a portfolio of clients with strategic, marketing, creative and operational services. We're looking for a curious, commercially minded New Business Executive to help a UK cosmetics development and manufacturing client find new brands and understand the founders who approach it.
What you'll do
• Find new leads on LinkedIn and other business social platforms and make first contact.
• Research new leads and enquiries — founders, previous businesses, experience and funding — using LinkedIn, Companies House and online search.
• Run short introductory video calls with start-ups and early-stage brands to understand their plans, products, timescales and budget.
• Give prospects a professional, positive first conversation and answer their questions about the client's capabilities.
• Record findings and a clear summary in HubSpot and recommend whether each opportunity should progress.
Skills
• Experience in new business, lead generation, account management or another customer-facing commercial role, including LinkedIn prospecting.
• Confidence speaking with founders and business professionals on video calls.
• Sharp research skills and good commercial judgement.
• Excellent written English and a disciplined approach to CRM records.
• Beauty or cosmetics experience is a plus, but not essential.
