Experience Required: Upto 3 years
Business Development Associate (UG) - JD
The Role
As a Business Development Associate, UG Study Abroad, you will bring proven, hands-on sales expertise from the undergraduate study-abroad space and play a central role in driving the UG admissions vertical. This is a high-agency, high-ownership role: you will close high-ticket deals directly with students and parents, refine our UG sales approach based on real conversations, and, as the vertical scales, step into leading the team you help build.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the UG Sales Cycle End-to-End: Manage the full journey for undergraduate applicants, from lead engagement to enrollment, with structured follow-ups across the multi-touch, family-inclusive decision process.
- Close High-Ticket Deals: Convert premium admissions-advisory engagements and meet or exceed monthly and quarterly revenue targets.
- Conduct Profile Consultations: Lead in-depth consultations with students and parents to assess academic profile, extracurricular positioning, and target-school fit, including Ivy League and other top global universities.
- Refine the Sales Approach: Apply your UG study-abroad experience to sharpen positioning, objection handling, and pricing conversations for Ambitio’s AI-driven model.
- Collaborate and Grow: Share on-the-ground insights with founders and cross-functional teams (marketing, counselling, product), and take on mentoring and team leadership as the vertical scales.
Requirements
- Minimum 3 Years of UG Sales Experience: Hands-on sales experience in undergraduate study-abroad admissions (or a comparable study-abroad background), with deep familiarity with the family-inclusive UG sales cycle.
- Proven High-Ticket Sales Record: Demonstrated success closing deals with a minimum ticket size of INR 10 Lakhs and above.
- Ivy League and Top-University Exposure: Experience assisting students with applications to Ivy League colleges and other top universities abroad.
- High Agency: A self-starter who takes ownership, works with minimal hand-holding, and finds creative ways to drive leads forward.
- Analytical Thinking: The ability to understand the “why” behind a student’s or parent’s needs, handle emotionally charged objections, and build a logical narrative from data such as admit rates and rankings.
- Communication and Presence: Excellent spoken and written English, and the confidence to engage high-achieving students and their parents as a credible advisor.
Why Us?
- Ownership and Growth: Your approach and results directly shape how UG sales works at the organisation, with a defined track toward team leadership.
- Direct Founder Access: Work closely with founders Dirghayu and Vikrant, with fast decisions and no bureaucratic layers.
- Intellectual Environment: A culture that values logic, data, and “student-first” ethics over aggressive sales tactics.
- Competitive Rewards: Strong base salary with uncapped incentives tied to your performance. Insurance coverage.
