Sales and Business Development Associate

Sales and Business Development AssociateRemote - United StatesJR012631

As a Sales & Business Development Associate, you will partner closely with Senior Business Development Executives and Senior Sales Executives to help identify and research prospects, prepare materials, facilitate outreach, and support deal execution. Initial direct interaction with qualified prospects will be limited, gradually taking on more client-facing responsibilities as you gain experience and skills. However, cold outreach and the deal qualification process will remain a crucial element of the position. The individual will be responsible for identifying potential opportunities within their assigned accounts, as well as unassigned accounts, and supporting Senior Sales Executives' accounts.

This role is designed as a launch point for a career in technology sales or business development. High-performing associates will have the opportunity to advance into Business Development Executive or Sales Executive roles, assuming greater client-facing responsibilities and increased quota as skills are developed.

Key Responsibilities

  • Partner with Senior Business Development and Sales Executives to identify and research prospects, prepare materials, facilitate outreach, and support deal execution.

  • Act as a central resource for marketing and intelligence data, monitoring platforms (e.g., Demandbase, Sales Navigator) to surface actionable insights and validate incoming leads.

  • Conduct market and account research using online tools and public sources to identify company developments, industry trends, and decision-maker profiles.

  • Assist with the preparation of presentations, proposals, and follow-up materials; maintain sales databases, CRM records, and prospect pipelines.

  • Provide regular activity and support logs, contribute to forecasting, and participate in ongoing training and development sessions.

  • Achieve a modest individual quota focused on support-driven metrics, such as qualified leads sourced and meetings booked for senior executives.

We want all new Associates to succeed in their roles at Ensono. That's why we've outlined the job requirements below. To be considered for this role, it's important that you meet all Required Qualifications. If you do not meet all of the Preferred Qualifications, we still encourage you to apply.

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, or related field preferred.

  • 2+ years of experience in sales support, marketing, or customer-facing roles (internships welcome).

  • Strong research and organizational skills; proficiency with CRM tools and Microsoft Office.

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

  • Eagerness to learn consultative sales techniques and the industry landscape.

  • Self-starter with a collaborative mindset; thrives in a team-oriented environment.

  • Familiarity with sales technology stack: Salesforce, SalesLoft, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and ZoomInfo.
