Business Development Marketer for new Enterprise Software

I’m looking for an experienced B2B business developer / direct marketer to help introduce SALIENT, a new enterprise intelligence platform, to branded companies across multiple sectors.

SALIENT is designed to go beyond conventional AI assistance — helping companies understand problems, develop ideas, challenge assumptions, explore product opportunities and build deeper creative and commercial intelligence around their business.



We are now looking for companies willing to engage with and test an early SALIENT pilot.

I need someone who can identify the right decision-makers, approach companies directly and start intelligent conversations with people in innovation, product development, R&D, strategy, marketing and emerging technology.



This is not a high-volume lead-generation role. I’m looking for someone experienced, articulate and entrepreneurial who can understand an unfamiliar proposition, become enthusiastic about it and communicate that excitement convincingly. You should have experience opening doors through direct outreach, LinkedIn, email, telephone or your own network — ideally into recognised brands or technology-led businesses.



The engagement will initially be 1–2 days per week on an hourly basis. SALIENT is founder-funded, so I’m building the commercial activity carefully at this stage, but I’m looking for quality rather than the lowest rate. There is clear scope for the role to grow if the pilot programme gains traction.

If this sounds interesting, please tell me briefly:



What types of companies and senior decision-makers you have approached
Your experience generating new B2B conversations
Why SALIENT interests you


I’m particularly interested in hearing from someone who reads this and immediately thinks: “I know companies that should see this.”
