Sr Manager - BD - Education Startup

You're bored with the daily corporate grind. You want to constantly innovate, and see your ideas take root and grow – rather than being a small cog in a very large wheel.

The job:

We are working to set an industry standard for finance education. A senior IIM alumni startup, we offer India's largest range of e-learning and certifications in Banking & Financial Services (BFS). We reached total (capex+opex) profitabality in just under 20 months. We have marquee relationships: co-branding with the NSE for 3 certifications and a unique, first-time Content Partnership with Infosys’ Finacle – the core banking platform used by over 140 banks across 73 countries.

Business Development is key: it includes B2C and B2B, both online and offline.

You will be in charge of B2C Sales. You will generate sales by selling our courses and other value added services by identifying suitable channels/partners to reach out to. You will figure out cost-effective and smart ways to reach out to the large retail target audience (Estimated market size of USD 1 billion).

You’ll also constantly research the market to figure out business opportunities. Add to that a young startup atmosphere, where you will also experience a range of activities - working on new products, retail events, capital raising,...all based out of the beautiful environs of Mysore.

It’s your chance to participate in growing a startup to a respected organization. If entrepreneurship is your dream –you’ll not get a better chance to learn the ropes.

Show me the money

We will. There’s Bread: decent and immediate. Butter: creamy, based on performance. Jam: Via ESOPs and you’ll have the long term (4 year) vision to see it. You will be better off than all your peers – job satisfaction wise, and monetarily, in this period.
