- Represent the company at industry events and build a local network of contacts Client

Engagement & Closing

- Engage decision-makers with tailored solutions based on their needs
- Prepare proposals and quotations; negotiate terms and close deals

Onboarding & Growth

- Support onboarding for new clients,

Cross-functional

What We're Looking For

- 0–2 years of experience in sales or business development (freshers with robust communication skills welcome)
- Strong communication and negotiation skills comfortable engaging decision-makers directly
- Street-smart, self-driven, and adaptable able to work with minimal hand-holding in a small team
- Proficiency in MS Office tools
- Access to a personal vehicle (for client visits and industry events across Bengaluru)
- Exposure to F&B;, FMCG, or Hospitality sectors preferred
- Experience working with corporate admins/facilities teams is a plus.

Why Join

- Market-aligned compensation with allowances
- High-ownership role with real, visible impact not a cog in a large sales machine
- Direct exposure to leadership and enterprise clients
- Growth-focused, collaborative culture where you help shape the process, not just follow it
- Clear path to grow as the BD team scales (mentoring/team-lead opportunities as we grow)
