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.

• Pitch DU Beat’s media, events, and content solutions to brands, agencies, and university partners.
• Identify new leads and create opportunities across categories like education, lifestyle, tech, food, fashion, and more.

• 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.
