Who we are

60 Decibels is a tech-powered impact measurement company that makes it easy to listen to the people who matter most. We've been in business as an independent entity since early 2019, when we spun out of the global Impact Investor Acumen.

We believe that the best way to understand social impact is by talking to the people experiencing that impact. It sounds obvious when you say it, but that is not the typical practice for many impact investors, corporations and foundations working to create social change.

We collect social impact data directly from beneficiaries (customers / employees / suppliers) using our network of 1,200+ trained Research Assistants in 100+ countries. We do it quickly and without the fuss typically associated with measuring social impact. Our researchers speak directly to customers to understand their lived experience, and our team turns all this data into benchmarked social performance reports, with accompanying insights, to help our clients demonstrate and improve social performance. In Latin America, we have completed 500+ projects across 20+ countries.

Our impact

By making impact measurement simple, scalable, and comparable, we enable organizations to improve their products and services, and we help transform what it means to credibly measure impact, ensuring that the voices of those who matter most are always part of the story. If you're similarly passionate about our mission and excited about the opportunity to help grow a dynamic business, we're looking for a Business Development Lead to own and grow our commercial work in Latin America.

Purpose of the Position

This role leads growth for 60 Decibels in Latin America. You will own the full sales cycle,



from the first conversation to a signed contract, and grow our relationships with the impact investors, financial institutions, foundations, corporates and social enterprises we work with across the region. Mexico is our largest market in Latin America, so the role is based in Mexico City. You will report to our Chief Commercial Officer and work closely with our Latin America team, our LatAm Sales Associate and the general sales team. You will join with an active pipeline, and you will have dedicated onboarding support.

Key Responsibilities

- Win new clients and grow existing ones. Open doors with new clients, funders and partners, drawing on the strong network of support around 60 Decibels. Convert studies with returning clients and multi-year partners into renewals, referrals and larger, longer-term engagements.
- Deliver around $1M in annual sales. Own the full sales cycle, from lead generation and qualification through proposals, negotiation, contracting and closing. Maintain accurate pipeline and forecasting in the CRM, and work with our LatAm Sales Associate to keep deals moving, and set every project up for success with a clean handover to the execution team.
- Build the 60 Decibels profile in Latin America, so the right organisations get to know us and come to us. Represent us at conferences, events and client meetings, online and in person,



and build relationships with regional impact networks and sector enablers. Partner with MarComms on campaigns, webinars and events that turn visibility into a steady flow of inbound leads.
- Convert more opportunities by meeting clients where they are. Design creative scopes and pricing that fit each client’s goals and budget, so we can say yes to more of the right work across different sectors and price points.
- Sharpen where and how we sell in the region. Work with our LatAm team and Chief Commercial Officer to define the target sectors and value propositions that will drive the most growth.
