Business Development & Outreach VA

About 30&9
30&9 is a football marketing agency that connects players, clubs, brands, and fans through authentic storytelling, strategic brand partnerships, and innovative marketing campaigns. We work with professional footballers to build their personal brands, secure meaningful sponsorships, and elevate their marketability.

We are looking for a highly organised and results-driven Business Development & Outreach VA to drive new commercial opportunities for both 30&9 and our clients. Your role will focus on lead generation, outreach, appointment setting, and pitch deck creation—ensuring that every potential partnership is followed up persistently until the deal is closed.

Key Responsibilities:
1. Lead Generation & Outreach

Research and identify potential brands, agencies, and partners in the football industry.
Craft and send high-impact outreach messages via email and LinkedIn to introduce 30&9’s services and player partnerships.
Manage a structured outreach pipeline, ensuring consistent follow-ups to move prospects through the funnel.
Track open rates, response rates, and lead conversion metrics to refine outreach strategies.
2. Appointment Setting & Pipeline Management

Schedule meetings between 30&9, potential sponsors, and brand partners.
Maintain a CRM or tracking system to keep outreach efforts structured and organised.
Ensure persistent follow-ups until a decision is made on potential collaborations.
3. Pitch Deck Creation & Customisation

Build and tailor high-quality pitch decks for different brands and outreach targets.
Ensure decks are visually engaging, data-driven, and strategically aligned with brand objectives.
Work with the 30&9 Bespoke Strategy System to present compelling brand partnership proposals.
4. Follow-Up Sequences & Deal Closing

Implement a structured follow-up strategy to keep conversations warm and progressing.
Adapt messaging based on responses, ensuring persistency without being pushy.
Work towards securing partnerships and closing deals for both 30&9 and our football clients.
What We’re Looking For:
Experience in business development, sales, or outreach (preferably in sports, marketing, or branding).
Strong copywriting & communication skills (for compelling outreach emails and messages).
Proficiency in pitch deck creation (PowerPoint, Canva, or similar tools).
Highly organised & persistent (able to track and follow up on multiple leads at once).
Understanding of football branding and sponsorships (or willingness to learn quickly).
Familiarity with CRM tools (HubSpot, Airtable, Notion, or similar for tracking outreach).
A self-starter mindset – proactive, strategic, and results-driven.
What We Offer:
Work directly with a high-level football marketing agency.
Access to top-tier projects with professional footballers and global brands.
Freedom to implement and refine outreach strategies.
Flexible, remote work with a performance-based structure.
How to Apply:
Send a brief introduction outlining your experience, along with any relevant examples of outreach work, pitch decks, or successful business development efforts. If you’ve secured brand partnerships or driven new business opportunities, we’d love to hear about it.
