JOB OVERVIEW

Trident Digital | Singapore
Full-time | Remote (Work from Home)
Working hours: Singapore hours (9am–6pm)
Salary: SGD 300 base + performance bonus (total est. SGD 500–1,000 with commissions)

About the role
Trident Digital is one of the fastest growing marketing agencies for financial advisors and real estate leaders in Singapore. Every client we work with started as a conversation someone had to start. This role starts those conversations.
You'll be the front end of our business development: reaching out to potential clients, keeping conversations warm, and making sure no opportunity slips through the cracks. It's a hands-on, execution-focused role — and it's how careers in sales and business development actually begin. Not with a fancy title, but with learning how to open doors, day after day, and getting paid more when more of them open.
If you're organised, consistent, and not afraid to message a stranger, keep reading.

What the setup looks like
You'll work closely with our BD lead and the founder — which means you'll see, up close, how deals actually move from first message to signed client. Outreach runs mainly through LinkedIn, Instagram and email. Prospects are financial advisors and real estate leaders in Singapore. You'll follow proven outreach processes and scripts to start, with real room to improve them as you learn what works.

What You’ll Do
• Reach out to potential clients daily across LinkedIn, Instagram, email and other platforms
• Start conversations and build genuine initial connections — not spray-and-pray spam
• Follow up consistently so leads stay warm and conversations keep moving forward
• Keep the pipeline clean: every prospect tracked, every response logged, nothing dropped
• Support the BD lead with simple decks, proposals and client coordination when needed

How you'll be measured
Conversations started, replies earned, and meetings booked for the BD lead. Your commissions are tied to results, so the better you get at this, the more you earn — and you'll see your numbers every week. If you like the idea of your pay reflecting your output instead of just your hours, you'll enjoy this.

You'll do well here if you
• Show up consistently. Outreach rewards the person who does it every day, not the person who does it brilliantly once a week
• Write like a human. Your messages should read like a real person reaching out, not a template blast
• Don't take silence personally. Most people won't reply — the ones who do are why the job exists
• Sweat the small stuff: names spelled right, follow-ups on time, tracker always current
• Want to grow into a real sales or business development career, and see this as the ground floor of it

This is not for you if you
• Need every day to feel new and exciting. The core of this job is repetition done well
• Get discouraged after a week of no's. Resilience isn't optional here, it's the job
• Have freelance work or side hustles competing for your focus. This has to be your main thing
• See outreach as beneath you. The founder of this company did it too. It's how businesses get built
No hard feelings either way. We'd rather both sides know now.

Bonus points
• You've done outreach, sales or lead generation before, even informally
• You're familiar with LinkedIn, Instagram or CRM tools
• You've handled high message volume without letting quality slip
• Fresh grads are welcome to apply. We care more about consistency and hunger than years of experience.

What you get
• Direct exposure to the founder and BD lead — you learn how deals are won, not just how messages are sent
• Commissions that grow with your results, so your ceiling is set by your effort
• A team that invests in growth: internal masterminds, sponsored courses, and overseas team trips
• A clear path into business development and sales roles as the agency scales

How to Apply

Email
---------- with the subject line:
Your Next Business Development Associate - [Your Full Name]
Your email should include:
• Cover letter: a bit about yourself and why this role fits you
• Updated CV/Resume
• One short exercise: write the first outreach message you'd send to a financial advisor on LinkedIn to start a conversation about working with a marketing agency. Keep it short — the kind of message you'd actually send. We're looking at how you write and how you think
• Expected salary in SGD

Important Note: Incomplete applications will not be considered. The exercise is part of the screening. It tells us more than a CV can.
