Business Developer
Nailit
Remote
Location: Lagos, Nigeria (Remote / Hybrid flexibility)
Type: Full-time
The Mission
At Tekiit, we are not just service providers; we are architects of the future in entrepreneurship. As a dynamic consulting partner, we excel in transforming startups and SMEs from mere "vision" to "exponential growth." By integrating cutting-edge technology, advanced AI-powered automation, and comprehensive 360° media strategies, we bridge the gap between ambitious ideas and market dominance.
We are seeking a Business Development Manager based in Lagos—Africa’s tech epicenter—who is part strategist, part hunter, and wholly passionate about the startup ecosystem. Your role will be to discover the next wave of industry disruptors and demonstrate how Tekiit’s ecosystem can accelerate their business growth at lightning speed.
What You’ll Do
- The Hunt: Identify and engage with founders and decision-makers at high-growth startups and SMEs throughout Nigeria and the broader EMEA market who require an execution partner.
- Strategic Advisory: Serve as a consultant-first salesperson, analyzing prospect business models and pitching tailored solutions across our Tech, AI, and Media pillars.
- Pipeline Management: Manage the entire sales cycle from cold outreach and lead generation to high-stakes presentations and closing deals.
- Ecosystem Integration: Collaborate with our technical and creative teams to ensure a seamless transition of the "growth vision" you sell into high-impact delivery.
- Market Intelligence: Stay informed on local and global AI trends and media shifts to position Tekiit as the definitive leader in modern business scaling.
- The Experience: Minimum of 3 years in B2B sales or business development, ideally within a tech agency, consulting firm, or the Nigerian startup ecosystem.
- The Knowledge: A genuine understanding of AI applications (LLMs, automation, workflows) and the role of digital media in driving modern brand equity.
- The Mindset: You speak the language of founders, understanding their pain points—scalability, efficiency, and visibility—and know how to address them.
- The Skills: Exceptional communication and "storytelling" abilities; you don’t just sell services, you sell the future vision of their company.
- Tech Stack: Proficiency with CRM tools (HubSpot/Salesforce), LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and modern outreach automation.
- Impact: You won’t be selling a commodity; you’ll be selling the engine that transforms small businesses into major players.
- Innovation: Be at the forefront of the AI revolution, engaging with tools and strategies reshaping industries.
- Flexibility: While deeply connected to Lagos’ tech scene, this role is remote-first, granting you the autonomy to work where you are most productive.
- Growth: As we scale our clients, we scale our people. Expect a high-autonomy environment with significant opportunities for advancement.
If you’re ready to move beyond "boring" and sell "exponential," we want to hear from you.
