About the Role

We’re looking for a Business Development Executive who can bring in exciting partnerships, build long-term relationships with brands, and help DU Beat grow its footprint across universities and youth audiences. Think of this role as part sales, part relationship-building, part problem-solving - and a whole lot of fun.

  • Create proposals, basic media plans, and tailored partnership ideas.
  • Work with the editorial, social, and video teams to execute campaigns smoothly (and creatively!).
  • Track your pipeline, maintain CRM hygiene, and keep weekly revenue forecasts updated.
  • Represent DU Beat at events, fairs, pop-ups, and brand meetings. Be the face of the coolest student media brand in India.
  • Keep an eye on youth trends, campus movements, and what students care about.

Who You Are

  • 1–2 years of experience in media sales, event sponsorship sales, or sales / BD at an ad or marketing agency.
  • Great with communication.
  • Comfortable pitching and presenting to clients.
  • Curious, energetic, and self-driven; you love meeting people and closing deals.
  • Comfortable juggling multiple campaigns without dropping balls.
  • Strong understanding of youth culture, digital media, and branded content.

    • Bonus Points If You

  • Have worked with youth or creator-focused brands.
  • Already have contacts in the marketing / agency world.
  • Can think out-of-the-box and package fun, campus-friendly brand ideas.

    • What You Get

  • A chance to work with India’s biggest student media brand.
  • Fast growth and ownership of key accounts.
  • Competitive salary + incentives.
  • A role where no two days look the same (seriously).
