• Prepare basic company, prospect and opportunity briefs before important meetings.
• 
  
• Track leads, opportunities, follow-ups and outcomes through CRM or appropriate reporting systems.
• Support the development and execution of targeted business development campaigns.
• Maintain regular communication with key accounts and identify opportunities for cross-selling, upselling and deeper engagement.
• Ensure that client commitments and action items are properly tracked and followed through.
• Assist senior management in preparing for important client meetings and negotiations.
• Manage and coordinate business meetings, calls, appointments and follow-ups.
• Ensure that agreed actions from meetings are followed up with the relevant stakeholders.
• Prepare meeting agendas, briefing notes, presentations and other business documents when required.
• Maintain confidentiality and exercise appropriate discretion while handling sensitive business information.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Strong interpersonal and relationship-building abilities.
• Comfortable speaking with CXOs, senior executives, business owners and decision-makers.
• Confident in initiating conversations with new prospects.
• Strong follow-up and relationship management skills.
• 
  
• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Professional appearance, communication and business etiquette.
• Strong ownership and ability to work independently.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly.
• 
  
• Good understanding of MS Office / Google Workspace, CRM systems, LinkedIn and business communication tools.
• Willingness to travel for client meetings, events and business engagements when required.
• Energetic and adaptable – comfortable moving between a client call, a business development activity, an internal coordination task and an executive-level assignment during the same day.
