Business Development Operations Manager Job 2026 — Remote, AI-Driven BD Leadership Role Open Across Pakistan Freelance NEW
🏠
Fully Remote Position — Open to Candidates Across Pakistan. This role is listed as remote with no fixed office location requirement, meaning qualified candidates from Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, or any other city in Pakistan can apply without relocation.
📅
Application Window Open Until August 19, 2026. This gives candidates a comparatively longer runway than typical government job postings — use the extra time to prepare a strong cover letter and the required business development strategy outline rather than rushing your application.
Position: BD Operations Manager
Location: Remote — All Pakistan
Experience: 5–7 Years
Education: Bachelor’s / MBA Preferred
Team Role: Manages BDR Team
INTRO
Most business development manager roles ask for sales experience and a target-hitting track record. This one asks for something more specific — genuine, hands-on fluency with AI sales tools, and the ability to actually train a team to use them. If you’ve spent the last few years watching the BD function shift from spreadsheets and cold calls toward AI-assisted prospecting and predictive forecasting, and you’ve actually implemented some of that shift yourself, this role is built for you.
The position is a fully remote Business Development Operations Manager opening, open to candidates across Pakistan. It blends three distinct functions into one senior role: strategic business development (pipeline building, market analysis, partnership development), operational management (CRM hygiene, SOPs, team leadership), and AI/technology integration (evaluating and implementing AI sales tools, training the team on them). The hiring company is looking for someone who has already done this — not someone learning on the job.
Requirements include a Bachelor’s degree (MBA preferred) and 5-7 years of progressive business development or sales operations experience, with explicit, named hands-on experience using AI tools like Outreach, Apollo.io, HubSpot AI, Salesforce Einstein, Gong, Lavender, or Clay. The application window is open until August 19, 2026.

AI & CRM Tools You Should Know
The advertisement names specific platforms as evidence of hands-on AI fluency. Familiarity with these tools — not just awareness of them — is what the employer is screening for:
Skills & Competencies the Employer Is Screening For
Strategic Thinking: Ability to see the big picture while managing day-to-day operations
AI Fluency: Deep familiarity with AI-powered sales/BD tools; ability to assess, implement, and train others
Data-Driven Mindset: Comfortable with metrics, dashboards, and forecasting models
Leadership & Mentorship: Experience managing and developing high-performing teams.
Communication Excellence: Strong verbal and written skills for client-facing and internal interactions
Problem Solving: Proactive in identifying bottlenecks and designing scalable solutions
Adaptability: Thrives in a fast-moving, evolving business environment
Negotiation: Skilled in structuring and closing complex deals and partnerships
“You do not just follow business development playbooks — you write them.” This line from the job posting is the clearest signal of what the employer is actually looking for: not a BD manager who can execute an existing process well, but someone who has built BD functions from scratch before and can demonstrate measurable results from implementing AI tools specifically. If your experience is limited to working within an established BD framework someone else designed, be ready to address this gap directly in your cover letter — describe any process you improved, redesigned, or built independently, even at a smaller scale.
What’s Offered
Compensation | Competitive salary with performance-based incentives |
Career Growth | Leadership role with significant growth and advancement potential |
Work Culture | Collaborative, innovative, technology-embracing environment |
Ownership | Opportunity to shape and build the BD function from the ground up |
Tools Access | Access to cutting-edge AI tools and technology platforms |
How to Apply
1. Prepare Your CV — Quantify Your AI Tool Experience
Your CV should name the specific AI sales/BD tools you have used (matching or closely related to the list above) and, wherever possible, quantify the impact — pipeline efficiency gains, conversion rate improvements, time saved through automation. Generic statements like “familiar with AI tools” will not stand out; specifics will.
2. Write a Cover Letter That Addresses the “Founder’s Mindset” Language
The posting explicitly says the ideal candidate “brings a founder’s mindset — ownership, urgency, and creative hustle.” Your cover letter should demonstrate this directly through examples — a time you took ownership of a problem beyond your formal job description, or built something without being asked.
3. Prepare a Brief BD Idea or Strategy Outline
This is an explicitly required application component — not optional. Prepare a short, focused outline of a business development idea or strategy you would bring to this role. This should be specific and actionable, not a generic restatement of BD best practices. Tie it back to AI tool integration where possible, since that is the role’s distinguishing emphasis.
4. Submit Your Complete Application Package
Submit your CV, cover letter, and BD strategy outline together as instructed in the posting. Since this was sourced via a job board listing (Oxiliry), apply directly through the platform where you found this listing, ensuring all three required components are included in a single submission.
5. Apply with CV + Cover Letter + BD Strategy Outline
Application window open until August 19, 2026
🏠 Fully remote — open to candidates across Pakistan

💡 6 Practical Tips Before You Apply
- Name your AI tools exactly as listed — generic “AI experience” claims will be screened out faster than specific ones. The job posting names nine specific platforms (Outreach, Apollo.io, HubSpot AI, Salesforce Einstein, Copy.ai, ChatGPT for sales workflows, Gong, Lavender, Clay). If you’ve used any of these specifically, name them explicitly in your CV and cover letter. If you’ve used comparable but unlisted tools (e.g., Reply.io, Instantly, Smartlead), name those too and briefly note the functional similarity — this still signals genuine hands-on AI tool fluency rather than buzzword familiarity.
- The BDR management requirement means you need actual people-management evidence, not just individual contributor sales success. The role explicitly includes “manage and mentor a team of Business Development Representatives.” If your strongest experience is as an individual BD contributor without direct reports, address this honestly — describe any informal mentorship, training delivery, or cross-functional leadership you’ve done, since pure IC sales success alone may not fully satisfy this management dimension.
- Your BD strategy outline should be original and specific to a plausible business context — not a templated framework. Since this is an explicitly required application component, treat it as a mini work sample, not an afterthought. A specific, well-reasoned strategy outline (even hypothetical, addressing a plausible industry/vertical) demonstrates the “strategic thinker” quality the posting emphasizes far more convincingly than restating textbook BD principles.
- “5-7 years of progressive experience” means a clear trajectory — highlight increasing scope/responsibility, not just years. The word “progressive” is doing real work in this requirement. If your career shows a clear arc — from BDR to Senior BDR to BD Manager, for example, with increasing pipeline ownership or team size — make this progression visible in your CV format, not buried in a flat chronological list.
- Since this is a remote role open across Pakistan, expect a large and geographically diverse applicant pool. Unlike a city-specific role, this posting will likely draw applicants from every major Pakistani city given the location-agnostic remote structure. A strong, specific, AI-tool-evidenced application matters even more in this wider competitive field — avoid generic BD manager CVs that could apply to any role.
- Apply well before August 19 despite the long window — strong candidates likely won’t wait until the deadline. A multi-month open application window does not mean hiring decisions wait until the deadline; many employers review and interview on a rolling basis. If you are a strong fit, applying early increases your chances of being seen before the role is filled, rather than competing against a backlog of applications near the closing date.
⚠️ Key Application Requirements
- Application must include CV + cover letter + BD strategy outline — all three required
- Minimum 5–7 years progressive BD/sales operations experience
- Hands-on AI tool experience is explicitly required, not just preferred
- Role includes direct management of a BDR team
- Company states it is an equal opportunity employer

(FAQ) Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this a fully remote position, or are there hybrid/office requirements?
The job listing explicitly states “This is a remote position” with the location given as “All Pakistan.” There is no mention of hybrid work, office attendance days, or city-specific reporting requirements in the posting. This appears to be a fully remote role, though candidates should confirm working hours, time zone expectations, and any occasional in-person requirements (such as client meetings or industry events) directly with the employer during the interview process, since the role does involve representing the company at industry events and conferences.
2. Do I need an MBA to apply for this role?
No. The posting lists “Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Marketing, Sales, or a related field” as the required qualification, with “MBA preferred” as an additional advantage rather than a strict requirement. A strong Bachelor’s degree combined with substantial relevant experience (5-7 years) and demonstrated AI tool fluency can satisfy the educational requirement on its own. An MBA may strengthen your application but is not described as mandatory.
3. What if I have strong BD experience but limited hands-on experience with the specific AI tools listed?
The AI tool requirement is described as “hands-on experience” with tools “such as” the named list — meaning the specific platforms are illustrative examples rather than an exhaustive mandatory list. If you have used comparable AI sales/BD tools not explicitly named, or have strong CRM-based automation experience, address this directly in your application by describing the functional capability (e.g., AI-assisted lead scoring, automated personalized outreach, predictive pipeline forecasting) rather than assuming you’re disqualified for not having used the exact named tools. However, given how explicitly AI fluency is emphasized throughout the posting, candidates with zero hands-on AI tool experience are likely to be a weaker fit for this specific role.
