Overview
We're looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented Business Development Assistant to help manage the front end of my client acquisition process.
This is not a sales role.
Your job is to identify the right companies, find the right decision-makers, organize data accurately, and help keep the outreach engine running consistently.
We are a growing construction consultancy working with contractors across the United States. Attention to detail is critical. Accuracy is far more important than speed.
Initially this will be up to 5hrs per week.
Responsibilities
Lead List Creation
Using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, you will:
- Review my saved company searches
- Extract companies into Excel
- Validate that each company fits my target market
- Remove companies that are not relevant
- Organize and maintain clean lead lists
Contact Research
For each approved company you will:
- Identify the correct decision-makers
- Find Presidents, Owners, CEOs, Vice Presidents, Commercial Directors and other appropriate senior leaders
- Save the correct contacts in Sales Navigator
- Ensure every contact matches my target criteria
LinkedIn Relationship Management
Once connection requests are accepted you will:
- Verify they belong to the correct target market
- Send personalized messages using templates and guidance I provide
- Keep outreach organized and documented
CRM & Spreadsheet Management
Maintain accurate spreadsheets including:
- Companies contacted
- Contacts saved
- Connection status
- Follow-up status
- Meeting status
- Notes
Attention to detail is extremely important.
Requirements
You must:
- Have excellent written English

What We're Looking For
We value:
- Accuracy over speed
- Initiative
- Reliability
- Strong organization
- Excellent attention to detail
- Someone who genuinely enjoys organizing information
If you regularly make mistakes, this role will not be a good fit.
This role is ideal for someone who genuinely enjoys organization, research, and building accurate datasets. If you enjoy checking your own work and catching mistakes before anyone else does, you'll likely enjoy this role.
