Business Development Lead (Remote)
First posted July 28, 2026 · Last updated July 29, 2026
About Us
Flywheel Motion is what we do. We work with mission-aligned founders and executives to bring their personal and corporate brands to life and grow them. Five phases (Discovery → Strategy → Build → Activation → Performance), run by a director-led team.
The people we work with are doing real work in the world: climate, deep tech, science-led business, founder-led organizations whose ideas should travel further than they currently do. We The Flywheel is the studio behind it. We are fully remote, fully async, and spread across every timezone — and AI is in everything we ship.
The Role
Find the rooms. Open the doors. You own outbound for Flywheel Motion. You build the pipeline that brings new members and partners to us: research, list building, first contact, and the follow-through that turns a warm reply into a live conversation.
You work the top of the funnel end to end and hand over qualified, briefed, and ready. You are comfortable being the first human a prospect meets, and you know that a specific, well-timed message beats volume every time. AI tooling is assumed rather than optional — you use it to research faster and personalise at scale, and you know which message has to be written by a human.
What You’ll Do
- →Build the target list. Research founders, executives and organizations worth talking to, and decide who is genuinely a fit before anyone writes to them.
- →Write and send the first message. Specific, timely, and human. You own the words, not a template library.
- →Run the follow-through. Sequences, timing, and the judgement to stop. Persistence without becoming noise.
- →Qualify and hand over. A warm reply becomes a briefed, ready conversation for the director who takes it. Nobody starts cold behind you.
- →Develop partnerships. Not every route to a member is a cold message — find the people and organizations who can introduce us.
- →Keep the record honest. What was sent, what came back, what you learned. Pipeline you cannot see is pipeline you do not have.
Who You Are
- →You have actually built a pipeline, not just worked inside someone else’s. You can name the companies, the channel, and the result.
- →You are comfortable being the first human a prospect meets, and you write like one.
- →You are AI-fluent and AI-honest. You scale research and personalisation with it, and you know where it makes you worse.
- →You self-direct. Fully async, no one watching your calendar. You decide who is worth contacting this week and why.
- →You can tell a good no from a slow yes, and you would rather drop a name early than chase it for a month.
What We Need to See (Required)
- →Two real outbound examples — one that worked and one that did not. Segment, channel, what the message said, what happened.
- →2+ years owning outbound, partnerships or lead generation.
- →Fluent written English — your first message is the product.
- →Working async, with your own structure, across timezones.
Experience (Preferred)
- →Selling or partnering into founder-led and executive audiences.
- →Mission-aligned sectors — climate, deep tech, science-led business.
- →Tooling: Apollo, Clay, HubSpot, Attio, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Lemlist / Instantly / Smartlead, Make or n8n.
- →Agency, studio or professional-services business development.
