About SkillsNCR

SkillsNCR is an early-stage education and capability-building venture helping students, parents and learners identify their needs and access appropriate learning support.

Our approach is simple: understand the need before recommending a solution. We are looking for someone who can build trust, create genuine business opportunities and contribute to measurable growth.

About the Role

We are hiring a hands-on Business Development Executive in Karnal with experience in the education sector.

You will identify prospective customers and referral partners, generate qualified leads, build local relationships and follow up with interested parents and students through to appropriate enrolment opportunities.

This is not a role where you only wait for leads to be assigned. You should be comfortable identifying opportunities, initiating conversations, visiting institutions and taking ownership of follow-ups.

Key Responsibilities

• Generate qualified leads: Identify and reach prospective parents, students and education partners through local outreach, referrals, calls, events and other relevant channels.
• Build education-sector relationships: Approach schools, coaching centres, tutors, counsellors and community organisations to explore relevant collaboration and referral opportunities.
• Conduct local visits and meetings: Plan outreach across Karnal, meet decision-makers, introduce SkillsNCR and agree clear next steps.
• Manage enquiries and admissions follow-up: Understand customer requirements, explain suitable offerings accurately, address questions and coordinate consultations or enrolment discussions.
• Maintain the sales pipeline: Keep accurate records of prospects, conversations, lead sources, follow-up dates, outcomes and reasons for lost opportunities.
• Deliver measurable results: Work towards agreed targets for qualified enquiries, attended consultations, enrolments and productive referral relationships. Share regular progress updates and market feedback.

What We Are Looking For

You should have hands-on experience in education sales, EdTech, coaching or tuition admissions, school outreach, student recruitment or a similar education-sector business development role.

You should be able to explain how you have personally generated leads, managed follow-ups and contributed to admissions or sales—not simply describe your team’s overall results.

The role requires confident communication in Hindi and working English, professional interaction with parents and institutional decision-makers, and comfort using spreadsheets, WhatsApp Business and basic CRM tools.

You should be organised, proactive and comfortable working in a small, early-stage business where consistent execution and personal ownership matter.

Familiarity with Karnal’s education market and existing professional relationships with local schools, coaching centres or educators will be an advantage.

Location and Availability

This is a full-time opportunity based in Karnal. Candidates must be available to work locally and undertake regular field visits and meetings.

Candidates already residing in Karnal with relevant local-market experience are preferred.

What Success Looks Like

Success means building a reliable pipeline of genuinely interested prospects, maintaining timely follow-ups, establishing useful referral relationships and contributing to suitable student enrolments.

We value lead quality, customer trust and actual conversion outcomes, not just the number of calls made or contacts collected.
