Business Development Associate

Job description

Business Development Associate

Location: London (hybrid – 1 day in our Mayfair boardroom, the rest wherever you work best)

Reports to: Chief Commercial Officer

About DealsPlus

We’re a fast-scaling B2B SaaS company reshaping how private equity firms manage their portfolio data. Our platform helps top-tier PE firms digitise, manage and understand their cap tables and investment structures. Backed by a strong seed round and trusted by 35+ private equity firms, we’re entering our next stage of growth.

Why This Role Exists

We’ve reached an important revenue milestone and are now investing in scalable growth. As a BDA, you’ll take full ownership of the top of the funnel: how we identify the right firms, start high-quality conversations and turn interest into opportunities. This is not your typical entry-level prospecting role. It is a busy, dynamic and strategic position perfect for someone who wants to build an outbound engine from scratch. You’ll work directly with our Chief Commercial Officer and play a critical role in shaping how we go to market.

What You’ll Do

• Own our outbound prospecting strategy and process, generating a steady pipeline of well-qualified opportunities through thoughtful, creative multi-channel engagement.
• Take responsibility for how DealsPlus shows up to the market at the earliest stage of the buyer journey taking a hyper-personalised approach and ensuring all outreach is relevant and compelling.
• Write the prospecting playbook future DealsPlus BDRs will follow by experimenting, testing, refining then scaling what works.
• Assist in the broader sales process including scheduling meetings, making notes on calls, sending follow-up emails and nurturing relationships with prospective customers where the timing isn't yet right.
• Take full responsibility for marketing, organising and elevating small group events including our quarterly product council and supper clubs.
• Represent DealsPlus at industry events and conferences.
• Create and improve sales collateral and marketing assets.

Who You Are

• Entrepreneurial by nature. You want autonomy, ownership and to help build something.
• Creative and commercial. You enjoy crafting smart, multi-step and multi-channel outreach campaigns.
• Curious and fast-learning. You grasp complex ideas quickly.
• Humble and hungry. You're collaborative, goal-orientated and seek and implement feedback.
• Exceptional communication. You write with style and accuracy and have an executive presence that enables you engage with senior private equity professionals on the phone, in-person and in written communication.

Experience in B2B SaaS, early-stage start-ups, or exposure to private equity, financial services, or complex B2B selling is a plus - but mindset and drive matter most.

What You’ll Get

• Strong earning potential. Competitive base salary with uncapped commission.
• Real ownership. You’ll be our first BDA - your ideas, processes and playbooks will shape how we scale.
• Freedom. One day a week in our Mayfair boardroom for collaboration and strategy; the rest is up to you.
• Visibility and growth. Work directly with the Chief Commercial Officer and leadership team - your impact will be seen.
• Momentum. We’re entering our next growth phase, and you’ll be at the front of that journey.
