Business Development Executive

Nitex transforms a $1.5 trillion industry, the fashion supply chain. We build the connected backend of fashion: the technology, systems, design engine, production network, and intelligence layer that help brands move faster and factories run smarter.

This role sits at the sharp end of that mission: onboarding brands. We are looking for a hungry, early-career sales ninja who can find the right prospects, earn attention, start conversations, and onboard the largest fashion brands from a cold market.

Fashion knowledge is useful. Sales instinct is non-negotiable. A pure sales mindset is preferred over an average fashion expert. We can teach the industry. We cannot teach hunger to someone who is allergic to rejection.

THE ROLE

You will hunt, qualify, and onboard new brands for Nitex.

1. Secure new fashion brands/retailers by building a focused pipeline and engaging in relentless outbound prospecting across all channels (email, LinkedIn, calls, etc.).


2. Identify the right decision-makers and quickly qualify prospects based on category fit, volume potential, sourcing pain, and urgency to earn the first serious conversation.


3. Execute sales by selling the initial step with precision to create qualified commercial openings, even though closing complex enterprise deals is not expected on day one.


4. Maintain CRM discipline with clean data and follow up relentlessly, while also bringing valuable market intelligence back to the team (e.g., brand struggles, competitor gaps, repeated objections).

Success is not activity. Success is qualified opportunity creation, fast follow-through, and brand onboarded quickly.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

By month 3, you should be generating 5+ qualified opportunities per month. By month 6, you should be the reason at least 2 new brands have started commercial conversations with Nitex. We track pipeline created, conversations booked, and brands onboarded. Not emails sent.

WHO YOU ARE

You are a hunter, not a farmer.

You may have 0–3 years of experience. You may come from fashion, logistics, real estate, agency sales, or another industry entirely. We care less about where you sold and more about whether you can sell.

You are strong if you can show evidence of:

• Prospecting into cold or semi-cold markets and generating real conversations.


• Hitting or chasing sales targets with genuine urgency.


• Writing outreach that sounds human, specific, and hard to ignore.


• Speaking confidently with people more senior than you.


• Following up without being chased by your manager.


• Handling rejection without becoming casual, bitter, or slow.


• Learning a complex product or service fast enough to explain it simply.


• Keeping pipeline notes, next steps, and commitments clean.


• Competing to win without becoming dishonest, pushy, or cheap.

Nice to have:

• B2B sales, SaaS, agency sales, partnerships, sourcing, fashion, textiles, or buyer-facing experience.


• CRM discipline and comfort with LinkedIn, email outreach, and lead-research tools.


• Strong written English, especially for outreach and live conversation.


• An existing fashion, retail, sourcing, or buying-office network.

WHO YOU ARE NOT

This role is wrong for you if you want a comfortable relationship-management job.

You will struggle here if you are a farmer who waits for warm accounts, a coordinator who likes sales vocabulary but avoids prospecting, or a fashion person who understands the industry but cannot create a pipeline. You will also struggle if you need perfect scripts, hate follow-up, fear senior people, measure work by messages sent instead of conversations created, or disappear after rejection.

Nitex does not need a pleasant average seller. We need a go-getter sales ninja, someone who constantly figures out what’s not working, finds out the next winning approach, and creates commercial output.

THE WORK

Location: London; cross-functional work with Dhaka, Barcelona, and London.

Market focus: UK, EU, and global fashion brands, retailers, designers, and sourcing/buying teams.

Reporting line: Directly to the founders. No layers. Fastest feedback loops you will find anywhere.

Experience: 0–3 years. Industry background is flexible; sales hunger is not.
