Business Development & Client Acquisition Associate at TalentSquare

This role exists to own that.

You will own the top of the revenue funnel—identifying opportunities, starting conversations, and converting them into signed client briefs. If you perform well here, the business moves. If you don't, nothing else does.

Convert outreach into Discovery Calls (target: 5 per week)
Manage early-stage client relationships through to signed brief
Maintain strict CRM discipline — all activity logged within 24 hours
Submit a weekly pipeline report — clear, structured, no fluff


Non-Negotiable Standards


Every outreach is personalized — no generic messaging
Every conversation is logged the same day
Every proposal is sent within 48 hours of a Discovery Call


Compensation

This is a performance-based role designed for people who want to earn based on output, not time.

5% of first-month Circuit margin for deployments you originate
Earnings potential: ₦75,000 - ₦300,000/month (based on 2 - 4 placements)

There is no ceiling here. Your output determines your earnings.
