Part-Time | Contract | Remote | 10–15 hours/week 

​

Charleston Modeling Agency (CMA) is a small, growing modeling and creative production company based in Charleston, South Carolina.

We work with fashion, hospitality, lifestyle, events, creative agencies, and brands that need professional talent for campaigns, content, activations, and productions.
We are a small startup company, and we're looking for someone entrepreneurial who wants to help us build our business development process.

The Role
We're looking for a Business Development & Lead Generation Specialist to identify potential clients, connect with decision-makers, generate qualified opportunities, and help build long-term relationships for CMA.
You will work directly with the founder. The founder will handle qualified sales meetings and closing; your focus will be on finding and developing the right opportunities.

Responsibilities
• Research and identify potential CMA clients
• Build targeted prospect lists
• Find marketing, creative, brand, event, and other decision-makers
• Conduct personalized outreach through email, LinkedIn, and other appropriate channels
• Follow up consistently with prospects
• Identify upcoming campaigns, shoots, events, and other opportunities
• Qualify leads and schedule meetings
• Track prospects, conversations, and follow-ups in CRM
• Help identify new industries and opportunities for CMA

Who We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who is:
• Self-motivated and entrepreneurial
• A strong communicator and writer
• Comfortable with outreach and rejection
• Organized and consistent with follow-up
• Good at researching companies and finding decision-makers
• Interested in fashion, hospitality, creative industries, events, marketing, or media
• Comfortable working independently

Sales, business development, marketing, or lead-generation experience is a plus, but initiative and the ability to think strategically are just as important. Experience in fashion, hospitality, creative agencies, photography, events, luxury brands, or media is especially valuable.

Location
This is a remote position. You do not need to live in Charleston.
We are open to candidates throughout the U.S. and particularly interested in candidates with experience in fashion, hospitality, creative, or business markets.

Compensation
$20–$25/hour depending on experience, plus performance-based incentives.
Approximately 10 hours per week.
The initial position will be a 90-day contract, with the potential to continue and expand based on performance.
What Success Looks Like
We care about quality over quantity.
Success will be measured by:
• Qualified prospects identified
• Decision-makers reached
• Meaningful conversations
• Meetings booked
• Sales opportunities generated
• New clients acquired
• Revenue generated
• Consistent CRM tracking and follow-up

We're not looking for someone to simply send hundreds of generic emails. We want someone who can look at a company and think:
"This is a company CMA could genuinely help. Who should we talk to, and why would they want to work with us?"
