Main Objective
CMI is looking for a Data Research Officer based in Bengaluru or near plant in India to research and prepare high-quality lead lists for future sales outreach.
This is a research role, not a sales role. The person will identify suitable companies, find the correct decision-makers, record accurate contact details, and prepare organised lead information for the sales outreach person to use.
First Focus: DOC Series Traps
The first area of focus will be international lead research for the DOC Series trap range, which is manufactured by CMI India.
CMI currently has a strong customer base in New Zealand and some customers in the United Kingdom. The objective is to identify further international customers, distributors, resellers, pest control suppliers, conservation organisations, government supply channels, and commercial buyers who may be interested in purchasing or distributing the trap range.
The DOC trap range is used for pest control applications involving weasels, stoats, rats, snakes, hedgehogs, ferrets, mongoose, grey squirrels, mink, and similar-sized pest species, depending on the trap model and market approval.The range has recognised approvals in key markets, including New Zealand NAWAC approval for DOC150, DOC200, and DOC250 traps; New Zealand NAWAC approval for the Trapinator Possum Trap; German approval under §18 of the Infection Protection Act for DOC150 and DOC200 with tunnels for brown and black rats; AIHTS approval for DOC150, DOC200, and DOC250 for stoats in EU member countries; and UK Spring Trap Order 2018 approvals across relevant DOC trap models and species.
The Data Research Officer should use this information to identify suitable international markets, distributors, pest control companies, conservation suppliers, and organisations already involved in humane trapping or pest control products.
Second Focus: Sectional Garage Door Springs
The second area of focus will be lead research for sectional garage door springs.The person will identify garage door manufacturers, sectional door manufacturers, garage door service companies, industrial door companies, door hardware distributors, and OEM component suppliers who may require a reliable spring supplier.The objective is to find companies that may purchase sectional garage door springs, use springs in their door systems, or be open to reviewing CMI as a supplier.
Key Responsibilities
The Data Research Officer will research target companies, identify suitable markets, find decision-makers, record accurate company and contact information, and organise all leads in Excel, Google Sheets, or another agreed format.
Each lead should include the company name, website, country, industry type, product or market fit, key contact person, job title, email address, phone number where available, LinkedIn profile where available, and notes explaining why the company may be a suitable opportunity. The person must focus on quality rather than simply producing large numbers of weak or unsuitable leads.
Skills Required
The candidate should have strong internet research skills, good English reading and writing ability, attention to detail, good Excel or Google Sheets skills, and the ability to use Google, LinkedIn, company websites, directories, and trade portals.
Experience in lead research, market research, B2B database building, LinkedIn research, industrial research, manufacturing research, or export market research would be useful.
Type of Role This may be a limited contract role of 1-2 years
The first stage will focus on DOC Series trap leads internationally and sectional garage door spring leads. If successful, the contract may be extended into other CMI product and market areas.
Success in the Role
Success will be measured by the quality of companies researched, accuracy of contact information, number of suitable leads found, correct identification of decision-makers, quality of notes, and how useful the lead list is for sales outreach.
