We’re looking for a friendly, approachable, curious person to join our expanding Asia-Pacific operation as a Business Development Representative, responsible for generating new business opportunities through prospecting, cold calling and email campaigns. If you’re outgoing, great with people, and just the right amount of stubborn, we probably want to hear from you.

What is Delib?

Delib’s mission is to:

1: Make democratic processes easier to run for governments, and;

2. Improve access to democracy for citizens.

We think it makes sense for people to be involved in decisions made by democratic leadership, especially on matters affecting their lives. We want these decisions to be open, transparent and collaborative.

We do this by making engagement software for public sector organisations.

Democratic engagement can be difficult to access and can put a burden of work on citizens, discouraging them from participating. Via our platforms, we want to make it easier for people to take part, and for public sector organisations to achieve their goals: providing clear information, getting better response data, leading to better, more informed, and actionable decisions. Our software has been used for some of the most high-profile public consultations and engagement exercises in the past 20 years, by organisations ranging from federal and central government departments, through to smaller regulators and local authorities. We care about the things we do and the people we do it for, and - while we don’t take ourselves too seriously - we are very serious about the work.

What's the job?

Your role will be to establish and nurture relationships with potential customers, building our networks and our profile among people and organisations in our market. You will encourage engagement professionals in our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) to use Delib’s SaaS solution in their next project and on an ongoing basis. You will  be expected to use a recognised and highly effective methodology and process to create a sufficient opportunity pipeline each month for their colleagues in the Sales team to further progress and close.

• Outbound prospecting and lead generation activities, including calling and email campaigns, operating a sequence / cadence to identify potential customers who have a need for Delib products.

• Qualify leads by assessing their interest, budget, timeline, and decision-making process using Delib’s qualification method.

• Manage the lead process to create fully qualified opportunities for all our Account Executives to present Delib’s software to potential customers.

• Nurture a database of prospects who are not yet ready to buy.

• Collaborate with others in the team, especially Demand Generation and Marketing colleagues, to ensure a steady flow of well-qualified opportunities for the Account Executives

• Build and maintain relationships with potential customers, understanding their needs and pain points, the impact working with Delib will have on their organisation, and positioning Delib as an essential asset to their engagement needs.

Who are you?

This is an ideal role for someone looking to take the next step in their sales career in the technology industry. You’re curious, good with people and interested in the work we do and the wider tech-for-good area.
