About Fund$ense

Fund$ense is a financial education and applied financial intelligence initiative designed for schools, colleges and universities. We create practical, high-impact programmes that help students understand how financial decisions influence their careers, businesses and professional lives.

We are now expanding our university vertical and are looking for a confident, highly presentable and well-connected professional who can build partnerships with leading universities and manage programmes from the initial pitch to final execution.

Role Overview

The University Partnerships & Business Development Executive will be responsible for developing Fund$ense's presence across universities and colleges, particularly in Bhubaneswar and other major educational hubs.

This is not a desk-based or telecalling-only sales role. The person will represent Fund$ense in meetings with university leadership, faculty members, student bodies and institutional decision-makers. The role requires strong communication, relationship-building, sales and event-management abilities.

Key Responsibilities

Build relationships with Vice-Chancellor offices, Deans, faculty coordinators, Student Activity Centres, placement cells, entrepreneurship cells and student committees.

Use existing university connections and networks to secure introductions and meetings with relevant decision-makers.

Present and pitch Fund$ense programmes confidently through meetings, calls, emails and presentations.





Understand each university's requirements and help develop suitable programme proposals.

Follow up consistently with institutional stakeholders and manage the complete sales cycle.

Coordinate campus visits, presentations, programme launches and university events.

Work closely with student committees and university teams for registrations, promotions and on-campus execution.

Manage speakers, vendors, schedules, venue requirements and other event logistics.

Maintain an updated database of university contacts, meetings, proposals and partnership status.

Support marketing campaigns, campus promotions, social media coordination and student outreach.

Represent Fund$ense professionally at meetings, conferences and educational events.

Achieve defined targets for university meetings, partnerships and programme conversions.

Fresh graduates with exceptional communication skills, strong university exposure and relevant campus connections may also apply.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English and Hindi.





Confident while speaking with senior faculty members, university administrators and institutional leaders.

Smart, polished and highly presentable personality.

Strong persuasion, negotiation, networking and follow-up skills.

Comfortable preparing and delivering professional presentations.

Capable of independently managing university events and multiple stakeholders.

Willing to travel frequently for university meetings and programme execution.
