ROLE PURPOSE

This is a design-led, relationship-driven pre-sales role not a cold-calling sales job. The person will own Vertvista’s engagement with architecture and interior design firms in Bengaluru: introducing the company and its portfolio, then staying close enough to their design teams to contribute biophilic and landscape design inputs on live and upcoming projects. By helping architects design better green spaces — and specifying Vertvista products, systems and detailing within their schemes — the objective is to make Vertvista the preferred and pre-specified vendor across that firm’s project pipeline.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Map and build a working relationship base of architecture, interior design, landscape and PMC firms across Bengaluru; secure and conduct structured introduction meetings and portfolio presentations.
- Participate in the architect’s design discussions for upcoming projects and contribute biophilic and planting design inputs at concept stage, before BOQs are frozen.
- Prepare and present landscape deck and project specific solutions to client’s design/architecture team, as per architect’s scheme and intent.
- Specify Vertvista’s scope — indoor plantscaping, green walls, FRP and designer planters, moss art, plant rental and AMC — into client drawings, specifications and BOQs.
- Conduct knowledge-sharing / CPD-style sessions for design studios on biophilia, green wall systems, plant selection, light levels and maintenance realities.
- Coordinate with the internal design, estimation and BD teams to convert design inputs into accurate BOQs, quotations and technical submittals.
- Drive Vertvista’s empanelment as an approved / preferred vendor with target firms and their key clients.
- Track each account’s upcoming project pipeline, log meetings, follow-ups and opportunities in the CRM, and report a weekly funnel.
- Arrange site visits, sample presentations, mock-ups and factory / completed-project walkthroughs for design teams.




- Bring back market intelligence — competitor specifications, pricing benchmarks, emerging materials and product gaps — to the product and design teams.

REQUIREMENTS (MUST-HAVE)

- Bachelor’s degree or Diploma in Architecture, Interior Design, - preferrable to have: Horticulture background &/or Landscape Design.
- 1–7 years’ experience in a design-led pre-sales, specification, or business development role — landscape, interiors, faade, building materials or a related specified-product industry.
- Strong presentation and articulation skills; confident presenting to principal architects, design heads and client project teams.
- Collaborative working style — able to sit inside another firm’s design team, take their brief and add value, rather than pitch over it.
- Based in Bengaluru, preferably own two-wheeler / car and willingness to travel across the city daily for meetings and site visits if required.
- Fluent in English; conversational Kannada and/or Hindi.

VALUABLE TO HAVE

- Formal horticulture background or hands-on nursery / plantscaping experience.
- An existing network of architects, interior designers and PMCs in Bengaluru.
- Familiarity with IGBC / LEED / WELL credit requirements relating to greenery and indoor environmental quality.
- Working understanding of biophilic design principles and indoor/outdoor plant material — species, light and water requirements, growth habit and maintenance implications.
- Demonstrated design capability: able to produce layouts, mood boards and design presentations independently — AutoCAD, SketchUp, Photoshop / InDesign and PowerPoint.

COMPENSATION Fixed CTC as per experience and industry benchmark, plus a performance incentive linked to specification wins and converted orders from the assigned architect accounts. To be discussed at the interview stage.

LOCATION & REPORTING
