Business Development & Partnerships Specialist

This is a remote position.

Business Development & Partnerships Specialist – U.S. Market

About SallySupport

SallySupport helps U.S.-based home care businesses build reliable, dedicated remote teams that support their day-to-day operations.

We work closely with our clients to understand their needs and provide skilled professionals who become an extension of their businesses.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for a confident, proactive Business Development & Partnerships Specialist to help us connect with new clients, develop industry relationships, and create opportunities for growth.

About the Role

Are you someone who enjoys connecting with people, opening doors to new opportunities, and turning conversations into lasting business relationships?

We're looking for a commercially minded professional who knows how to identify potential clients, engage decision-makers, and build a strong pipeline of business opportunities.

You'll work directly with our leadership team to help expand SallySupport's presence in the U.S. home care market.

This isn't a traditional high-volume cold-calling position. We're looking for someone who can take a thoughtful, targeted approach to business development, build genuine relationships, and consistently move opportunities forward.

You'll have the opportunity to take ownership of your work, contribute ideas, and play a meaningful role in growing the business.

What You'll Be Doing

• Research and identify potential U.S.-based clients, particularly within the home care and healthcare services industries.
  

• Connect with business owners, executives, and decision-makers through LinkedIn, email, and other professional channels.
  

• Initiate conversations with prospective clients and introduce them to SallySupport's services.
  

• Identify opportunities for strategic partnerships, referrals, and long-term business relationships.
  

• Build and manage a pipeline of prospective clients and commercial opportunities.
  

• Follow up consistently with prospects and nurture relationships over time.
  

• Arrange introductory meetings and support conversations that could lead to new business.
  

• Work closely with leadership to identify new markets, opportunities, and approaches to business development.
  

• Keep accurate records of outreach, conversations, and opportunities using CRM tools.
  

• Contribute ideas to improve our outreach strategy and strengthen SallySupport's industry presence.
  

Requirements

What We're Looking For

We're particularly interested in someone who has experience in B2B business development and enjoys the process of finding, connecting with, and building relationships with potential clients.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Around 2–5 years of experience in B2B business development, sales, client acquisition, account management, or strategic partnerships.
  

• Experience prospecting for new business and engaging potential clients or decision-makers.
  

• Excellent written and spoken English, with the confidence to communicate professionally with U.S.-based business leaders.
  

• Experience using LinkedIn, email outreach, or other prospecting methods to generate opportunities.
  

• A good understanding of how to develop relationships and move prospects through a business development pipeline.
  

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple prospects and follow-ups.
  

• A proactive, independent approach to work, with the confidence to take initiative.
  

• A genuine interest in building long-term relationships rather than simply meeting activity targets.
  

• Comfort working remotely and collaborating with an international team.
  

Experience That Would Be an Advantage

We'd be particularly interested in hearing from candidates who have worked in:

• Healthcare, home care, or related professional services.
  

• SaaS, technology, or other B2B service industries.
  

• Business development targeting U.S. or international markets.
  

• Referral partnerships, channel development, or strategic account management.
  

You don't need previous home care industry experience to succeed in this role. We're more interested in your ability to build relationships, identify opportunities, and communicate confidently with potential clients.

What Success Looks Like

Success at SallySupport isn't measured by how many cold calls you make.

We're looking for someone who can consistently identify promising opportunities, start meaningful conversations, and build relationships that contribute to business growth.

You'll be successful if you're developing a healthy pipeline of qualified prospects, establishing valuable industry connections, and helping turn those relationships into genuine commercial opportunities.

Additional Requirements

• Must be based in South Africa.
  

• Reliable internet connection and a professional remote working environment.
  

• Availability to collaborate with U.S.-based stakeholders and attend meetings across time zones as required.
  

• Ability to work independently, stay organised, and deliver results without constant supervision.
  

Benefits

Why Join SallySupport?

• Work remotely: Join our team from anywhere in South Africa.
  

• International exposure: Engage with U.S.-based businesses and industry decision-makers.
  

• Direct leadership access: Work closely with company leadership and contribute to business growth decisions.
  

• Make an impact: Your work will directly contribute to SallySupport's expansion and future success.
  

• Take ownership: Have the freedom to bring ideas, explore opportunities, and develop relationships.
  

• Growth potential: As the business develops, there may be opportunities for additional performance-based incentives.
