Business Development Executive
Find and qualify brands considering a Shopify migration or development project, and run the early conversations that turn into real engagements.
As a Business Development Executive at UVT, you'll be the first real conversation most prospective clients have with the agency. You'll qualify inbound interest from the site's assessment form and content, and proactively find brands that are good candidates for a Shopify migration or Shopify Plus build before they've started looking.
What You'll Do
- Follow up on inbound leads from the Shopify Migration Readiness Assessment and other site conversions: qualify fit, understand the prospect's actual situation, and move strong fits toward a technical discovery conversation.
- Research and reach out to brands on platforms UVT specializes in migrating off, including Magento, WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, BigCommerce and Squarespace, where a move to Shopify is a plausible, well-timed conversation.
- Understand enough about Shopify migration and development to have a real, specific first conversation, not just a scripted pitch, and know when to bring in a technical lead.
- Track pipeline and follow-up discipline without losing the personal, specific tone that makes a B2B agency sales conversation actually land.
- Represent UVT's actual positioning honestly: confidentiality-first, no client logos, an extended-team relationship rather than a one-off vendor. This isn't generic agency sales.
What We're Looking For
- Real B2B sales or business development experience, ideally in agency, SaaS or technical services sales where the first conversation requires some domain understanding, not just a script.
- Comfortable learning enough about ecommerce platforms and Shopify specifically to speak credibly with a technical or ops-minded buyer.
- Organized, consistent follow-up. Pipeline discipline matters as much as the initial pitch.
- Genuinely good written and verbal communication; a lot of this role is the first impression a prospective client gets of the whole company.
Nice to have: experience selling into ecommerce or retail specifically, familiarity with one or more of the platforms UVT migrates clients from, CRM experience (HubSpot or similar).
What We Offer
Remote-first work, real ownership of the top of the sales funnel (not just working a script someone else wrote), and a product that's genuinely easy to sell honestly. UVT's work speaks for itself once a prospect understands what a migration actually involves.
