SERVICES SALES EXECUTIVE — INDIA

Software Development & Managed Engineering · 12th Wonder · Pune

12th Wonder has delivered custom software and managed engineering teams to 100+ Indian enterprises since 2012. The delivery engine is proven — 70 engineers, a Pune centre operational since 2019, and a client base that renews.

What's missing is a dedicated hunter who can systematically connect this capability to new buyers. We're hiring a Services Sales Executive to own a territory, build pipeline from scratch, and close recent-logo deals across India.

THE ROLE

This is a pure selling role. No team to manage in year one. No SDR motion to build. Your job is to find enterprise buyers who need custom software development or managed engineering capacity, and close them.

You'll spend 80%+ of your time in front of customers — identifying strategic accounts, building relationships with CXOs and engineering leaders, running discovery, shaping solutions with our pre-sales and delivery teams, writing proposals, negotiating contracts, and closing. The remaining time goes into pipeline hygiene, forecasting, and sharpening your territory plan.

You own your territory and your number. You'll define target accounts within assigned segments, decide your outbound approach, and run your own pipeline cadence. You'll have a pre-sales engineer and delivery leadership behind you on every qualified opportunity — but the deal is yours to win or lose.

Your buyer: India-domiciled enterprises across three primary segments — automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers, testing and certification (TIC) labs, and enterprise engineering R&D; centres. Rupee-denominated, relationship-led, CXO-level deals averaging ~₹20 lakh. Pune's position inside the Chakan–Talegaon supplier belt puts the densest cluster of target accounts within a morning's drive.

WHAT YOU'RE SELLING

Two proven service lines,



both with referenceable customers and repeatable delivery models:

Custom software development. Full-stack engineering teams that design, build, and ship applications for enterprise clients — web, mobile, cloud, data, and integration. Engagements typically start as fixed-scope projects and expand into ongoing development partnerships.

Managed engineering teams. Dedicated engineering capacity operated from our Pune centre, embedded in the client's product or platform roadmap. Longer-duration, higher-ACV engagements with sticky renewal economics. Clients retain technical control; we provide the team, the management layer, and the delivery infrastructure.

Both service lines sell to the same buyers through the same motion. The typical land is a ₹15–25 lakh project engagement; the expand is a managed team at 3–5x the initial contract value

End of year one





₹75 lakh in closed revenue — roughly four deals at our average size. At least one account in active expansion from project to managed team.

COMPENSATION

Cash role — fixed plus variable, no ESOP attached. We'd rather be transparent about the economics than quote an OTE and let you reverse-engineer it.

Exhibit 2: Compensation structure

Fixed ₹12–15L

Target ₹75 lakh

Variable Plan ₹5.6L

OTE AT Plan ₹18–21L

FIXARGE VARIABLE AT PLA OTE AT PLA

Variable is a flat 7.5% of closed revenue, uncapped. The rate doesn't taper past target — close ₹1 crore and the plan pays ₹7.5L variable, no renegotiation. Variable pays pro-rata from 70% of target, on revenue closed at or above floor margin. We're not going to pay you to discount, and you shouldn't want a plan that does.

HOW HIRING WORKS

Three conversations over about two weeks:

1. Screening call (30 min) — your track record, deal examples, and whether the buyer profile matches what you've sold.

2. Pipeline walkthrough (60 min) — pick one of your best deals and walk us through it end-to-end: how you found it, how you qualified it, how you closed it, and what you'd do differently.

3. Leadership conversation (45 min) — with the COO: territory, the number, and the terms.

Decision within 5 working days of the last conversation, either way.
