Project Growth
Date: 2 weeks ago
City: Abuja, FCT
Contract type: Contractor
Remote
Our client is a boutique private equity marketing firm that connects high-net-worth individuals with exclusive investment opportunities in emerging technologies, pre-IPO ventures, and hedge fund allocations. Their small but mighty team operates with high precision, focusing on sourcing and engaging elite investors for a select few investment products with significant earning potential. This is a low-volume, high-impact sales environment where relationship-building, persistence, and professionalism matter more than speed or mass outreach.
Location:
Fully-Remote (Work from Home), 9 AM - 5 PM EST
About The Role
We’re looking for a driven and personable Business Development Representative (BDR) to join a nimble team focused on investor prospecting. You’ll work directly with the founder, reaching out to a curated database of high-net-worth individuals to generate interest in alternative investment opportunities. Your goal is to qualify prospects and book calls—not to close deals. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on phone outreach, is confident speaking with affluent investors, and is excited about learning the language of private equity, hedge funds, and venture capital.
