Business Development Associate — Bilingual Thai and English
Learn business development end to end while helping leaders transform workplaces and lives.
As a business development associate at Gallup, you’ll build the foundation of a long-term business development career by supporting experienced workplace advisory consultants and learning how we grow, serve and retain clients from first conversation through delivery and beyond.
This is a hands-on, client-facing role designed for someone who is eager to learn how business development works — not just sales, but discovery, solution design, contracting, implementation and long-term relationship building. You’ll start by supporting business development activities and client work, gradually growing into greater ownership as your expertise, confidence and impact increase.
If you’re proactive, curious and motivated, and you want exposure to both business development and consulting execution, this role offers depth, mentorship and meaningful growth.
What You’ll Do
- Support business development activities, including managing CRM data, completing contracting processes, supporting survey implementation, and accompanying consultants on client engagements to observe and support stakeholder interviews
- Support smaller client opportunities and early-stage leads, building confidence in client communication and consultative selling
- Contribute to proposal development, presentations and meeting preparation, and participate in prospect and client meetings alongside senior consultants
- Complete basic research and analysis to support less complex client presentations and deliverables
- Build deep knowledge of Gallup’s workplace advisory offerings, learning solutions and Gallup Access platform through hands-on exposure and mentorship
- Contribute to marketing and business development initiatives, including client events, webinars, roundtables and conferences
- Stay current on Gallup research and insights and support consultants in communicating relevant findings to clients
- Over time, grow into leading discovery, qualification and client conversations, expanding relationships and increasing ownership of opportunities
Who We Want
- Proactive initiators who anticipate needs, take ownership without waiting for direction and commit to delivering high-quality work in everything they do
- Curious learners who are eager to understand business development, consulting and workplace issues, and who actively seek feedback and growth
- Collaborative partners who take pride in supporting others, coordinating details and contributing to team success through reliability and follow-through
- Resilient achievers who bring discipline, professionalism and persistence to their work, even in fast-paced or ambiguous situations
- Client-focused communicators who build credibility through preparation, thoughtful questions and clear, professional interactions
What You Need
- Bachelor’s degree required
- At least two years of client-facing professional experience in medium to large organizations required, preferably in business development, professional services, consulting, HR, learning and development, or similar fields
- Experience supporting or contributing to business development activities or client engagements required

- Ability to travel as needed for business development activities required
- Full native fluency in Thai and strong proficiency in English required
- Experience using AI to enhance productivity, content development or sales activities preferred
