About Future Next Academy

Future Next Academy is a UK-focused EdTech brand delivering career-oriented programmes in Data Analytics, Generative AI and other emerging professional domains.

Our programmes are designed for working professionals, career switchers and ambitious learners seeking practical, industry-relevant capabilities. Operations and hiring in India are managed through Jivoraa Education Pvt. Ltd.

As we prepare to launch our sales operations, we are building our founding pilot sales team in Gurugram. This is an opportunity to join at an early stage, contribute directly to the sales culture and grow alongside an emerging international education brand.

About the Role

We are looking for driven and articulate Academic Counsellors for International Sales who can engage prospective learners in the UK, understand their career goals and guide them towards the right programme.

This is a consultative, target-driven sales role involving the complete enrolment journey—from the first conversation and programme consultation to follow-ups, objection handling and final closure.

Please note: This is an individual-contributor sales role, not an academic administration or student-support position.

Key Responsibilities

• Connect with prospective UK-based learners through outbound and inbound calls, emails and WhatsApp.
• Understand each prospect’s professional background, learning requirements and career goals.
• Conduct structured career and programme counselling sessions.
• Explain programme curriculum, delivery format, fees, learning outcomes and enrolment process clearly and confidently.
• Build trust with working professionals and recommend programmes based on their individual requirements.
• Manage the complete sales cycle, including lead qualification, counselling, follow-ups, objection handling, negotiation and enrolment closure.
• Maintain consistent follow-ups with prospective learners across different stages of the sales funnel.
• Achieve assigned weekly and monthly revenue and enrolment targets.
• Maintain accurate lead records, conversation notes and follow‑up activities within the CRM.
• Collaborate with marketing, admissions and operations teams to support a smooth learner journey.
• Share market feedback, learner objections and lead-quality insights to help improve the overall sales process.

Candidate Requirements

• 1–4 years of experience in EdTech sales, academic counselling, admission counselling, inside sales, B2C sales or international voice sales.
• Strong spoken and written English communication skills.
• Demonstrated ability to build rapport, identify customer needs and close sales over the phone.
• Confidence in speaking with working professionals and international prospects.
• Strong persuasion, negotiation, follow-up and objection‑handling capabilities.
• Comfortable working in a performance-driven environment with clear revenue and conversion targets.
• Disciplined approach to CRM updates, lead management and follow‑up scheduling.
• Willingness to work from our Gurugram office during UK-aligned working hours.
• Graduate in any discipline.

Preferred Experience

• Previous experience selling professional upskilling, technology, certification or executive‑education programmes.
• Exposure to UK, US or other international sales processes.
• Experience selling mid‑value or high‑value products through consultative conversations.
• Familiarity with CRM and cloud‑based calling systems.

Candidates with strong international voice‑sales experience from the BPO, training, FinTech, travel or professional‑services sectors may also apply if they possess consultative selling and closing experience.

What We Offer

• 4–6 LPA fixed CTC, based on experience and interview performance.
• Attractive, performance‑linked incentives with no earning cap.
• Five‑day working week with Saturday and Sunday fixed off.
• Exposure to an international market and UK‑based customers.
• Structured product and sales training before handling live leads.
• An opportunity to become part of the founding pilot sales team.
• Direct visibility, ownership and growth opportunities within an emerging EdTech venture.
• A professional, transparent and performance‑oriented work environment.

Who Will Succeed in This Role?

This opportunity is suited to someone who:

• Enjoys consultative conversations as well as closing sales.
• Takes ownership of targets and follows up consistently.
• Can communicate value without relying on aggressive or misleading selling.
• Is comfortable working in an early‑stage environment where processes will evolve.
• Wants to grow with a new international education brand rather than become one among hundreds of sales employees.
