[Hiring] Business Development Associate @Blue Ripples Technologies

Role Description

This is a remote position.

We're looking for someone with genuine energy and a real instinct for connecting with people — someone who can build our pipeline, keep our outreach sharp and consistent, and, over time, become one of the faces that carries our name into the market. This is not a role where you sit behind a screen running scripts. We want someone who's naturally curious about the people on the other end of every email and call, who follows up because they're genuinely interested in the conversation, not just the metric.

Day to day, you'll own the engine behind our growth:

• Outbound prospecting
• Qualification
• CRM discipline
• Event and conference follow-up

As you build credibility with prospects and partners, you'll get pulled into actual customer and partner conversations — in India and, over time, in Europe.

What You'll Do:

• Build and run outbound prospecting across our target customer segments:
• Utilities
• DER and hardware companies
• Energy-software platforms
• Energy-service consultancies in the US, EU, and India
• Qualify leads, manage pipeline handoff from first contact through to a scheduled discovery call, and keep our CRM genuinely useful, not just filled in
• Build real relationships with our referral and consultant network, industry association contacts, and event connections
• Represent us at conferences and trade shows — actively prospecting on-site, capturing leads, and building relationships
• Own our content presence: turn raw material from our team into consistent LinkedIn posts and other content
• As you grow into the role: join discovery calls and early-stage customer conversations, in India and eventually Europe
• Bring ideas — if you spot a better way to reach a segment or a partner we should be talking to, we want to hear it

Qualifications

• Genuine energy and curiosity about people and business
• Strong written and verbal communication in English
• Comfortable with outbound prospecting tools (LinkedIn, email sequencing, CRM) or a fast learner
• Able to work as part of a broader outbound and lead-generation effort
• Self-starter — drives their own day without needing constant oversight
• Some exposure to B2B sales, business development, or client-facing work
• The exact industry doesn't matter as much as the instinct

Requirements

• Any exposure to the energy, utility, industrial, or infrastructure sectors
• Experience working with or alongside international (US/EU) clients or partners
• Comfort writing short-form content (LinkedIn posts, newsletters, event recaps)
• A track record of building a genuine professional network

Benefits

• A real growth path — this role is designed to expand into customer- and partner-facing work as you prove yourself
• Remote flexibility — work from wherever you're most effective
• Direct visibility with the CEO and the leadership team from day one
• Competitive compensation (base + performance incentive), scaled to experience
