Business Development & Lead Generation Partner
Location: Bengaluru preferred / Hybrid / Flexible
Engagement Type: Contract / Gig
Compensation: Success-based / Performance-linked
About Us
Fluvian Ventures LLP is the India-focused consulting and execution platform within the broader Lucent.AI ecosystem, headquartered in Singapore and focused on transformation and advisory opportunities across Asia-Pacific.
In India, Fluvian works with founder-led and mid-sized businesses that are scaling but beginning to feel the strain — too much manual work, fragmented systems, unclear ownership, limited visibility, and constant firefighting.
We help businesses strengthen how they operate through diagnostics, process redesign, operational improvement, KPI and governance systems, ERP readiness and adoption, pilot-led transformation, and hands-on execution support.
Fluvian also works closely with MeridianMac, a UAE-based business and technology services partner, particularly on ERP, migration, implementation, CFO / MIS and related capabilities.
This gives the person joining us exposure to an entrepreneurial consulting platform spanning India, Singapore and the UAE, while working directly with experienced business leaders.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Business Development & Lead Generation Partner to help us identify the next companies we should be speaking to.
This is not a traditional 9-to-5 sales role.
It is a flexible, entrepreneurial gig for someone who is curious about businesses, good at finding opportunities, comfortable using AI and LinkedIn, and confident enough to open conversations with senior decision-makers.
You will work directly with Fluvian’s leadership and, where relevant, our international partners to build a high-quality pipeline of consulting opportunities.
Think of the role as a combination of: AI + business research + LinkedIn + networking + commercial thinking + relationship building.
What You'll Do
- Research companies and identify promising business opportunities.
- Use LinkedIn, AI tools, company information, news and other digital sources to build a focused prospect pipeline.
- Spot business triggers such as rapid growth, expansion, acquisitions, ERP implementation, margin pressure, operational bottlenecks or process challenges.
- Identify founders, CEOs, COOs, CFOs and other relevant decision-makers.
- Create thoughtful, personalised outreach rather than generic mass messages.
- Start conversations and qualify whether there is a real business problem worth exploring.
- Set up discussions between qualified prospects and Fluvian’s senior consulting team.
- Track leads and opportunities systematically.
- Experiment with new AI-enabled business-development approaches.
- Support opportunities that may involve Fluvian, Lucent.AI or MeridianMac depending on the client need.
What Success Looks Like
We care about quality, not volume.
Success is not sending hundreds of messages.
Success is:
- finding the right company,
- understanding why they may need help,
- reaching the right person,
- opening a meaningful conversation,
- and helping convert that conversation into a genuine business opportunity.
Who We're Looking For
This could be a great fit if you are:
- a recent graduate or early-career professional,
- a freelancer or independent business developer,
- someone interested in consulting or entrepreneurship,
- someone already experimenting with AI for research and prospecting,
- or simply someone who is exceptionally good at finding people, companies and opportunities.
You should ideally have:
- Strong written and verbal communication.
- Commercial curiosity and interest in how businesses work.
- Confidence engaging professionally with senior leaders.
- Strong research skills.
- Comfort with LinkedIn and digital prospecting.
- Familiarity with AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or similar platforms.
- Initiative, discipline and follow-through.
- The ability to work independently without waiting for detailed instructions.
Previous experience in business development, B2B sales, consulting, recruitment, lead generation, market research or entrepreneurship is useful, but not essential.
We care more about how you think, how quickly you learn, and what you can create than how many years you have worked.
Engagement & Compensation
This is a success-based independent gig, rather than a conventional salaried role.
There is no fixed monthly salary.
Compensation will be linked to successful business outcomes, with the model agreed clearly upfront. This may include rewards linked to:
- qualified opportunities,
- progression into meaningful client discussions,
- and successful conversion into client engagements / realised revenue.
The structure is designed for someone who values flexibility, autonomy and upside linked to results.
What You'll Gain
- Direct exposure to founders, CEOs and senior business leaders.
- Opportunity to work across an international business ecosystem spanning India, Singapore and the UAE.
- Mentoring from experienced transformation, operations and business leaders.
- First-hand insight into how consulting opportunities are identified, shaped and converted.
- Exposure to transformation, ERP, operations, growth and business-improvement challenges.
- Freedom to experiment with AI-enabled business-development methods.
- Flexible working arrangements.
- Performance-linked earning potential.
- Opportunity to grow into broader business development, account management or consulting roles as the platform expands.
How to Apply
Along with your CV or LinkedIn profile, please answer one short question:
“If you had to identify 10 companies in Bengaluru that Fluvian should speak to next week, how would you go about it?”
There is no perfect answer.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to complete a brief real-world business development challenge. The exercise is designed to understand how you think and should take no more than 30–45 minutes.
