- Interfacing with potential business partners
- Reaching out to potential clients (including cold calling/emailing)
- Reaching out to clients for post-job satisfaction
- Identifying key areas for business development and client procurement

The candidate will have:
- Good social skills
- Great communication/email skills
- Great at following up and closing business leads

Compensation:
Initially, the current candidate would be on a three month probationary period, where they would receive a 20% commission on all business procured during that time period.
