Business Development Associate

At Ambitio, we’re building India's first AI-powered global admissions platform to help students get into their dream schools. Our mission is to democratize access to quality global education by making the admissions process 10x easier through personalised AI guidance that combines advanced AI technology with alumni mentorship. We are backed by notable investors including BLinC Invest, First Cheque, and We Founder Circle.
The Role: As a Business Development Associate, you are the first point of contact for ambitious students and parents. Your role is not "selling," but diagnosing their profile, understanding their dreams, and demonstrating how our technology and expertise can bridge the gap between their current profile and a top-tier global admission.
Key Responsibilities:
● Strategic Outreach: Identify and engage with high-potential students, turning cold interest into warm relationships.
● Profile Consultation: Conduct high-level consultations to understand a student’s academic background and career goals.
● Logical Pitching: Use data and logic to explain the value proposition, showing why our AI-driven approach is superior to traditional consultancy.
● Problem Solving: Use critical thinking to offer solutions for unique student "bottlenecks" (e.g., low GRE, weak SOP, gap years) that align with Ambitio’s offerings.
● Exceed Targets: Drive the end-to-end sales cycle from lead generation to enrollment, ensuring high conversion through persistent follow-ups.
Requirements:
● First-Principle Thinking: The ability to understand the "why" behind a student's needs and reason through complex objections.
● Confidence & Presence: Comfort in speaking to high-achieving students and parents as a knowledgeable advisor.
● Logical Reasoning: The ability to analyse data (admit rates, rankings) and weave it into a compelling, logical narrative.
● High Agency: A self-starter mindset that takes ownership and finds creative ways to solve problems and drive leads forward.
● Educational Background: B.B.A/B.COM/M.B.A
Why Ambitio?
● Fast-Track Growth: Join a high-growth startup where your impact is immediate.
● Intellectual Environment: Work in a culture that values logic, data, and"student-first" ethics over aggressive sales tactics.
● Competitive Rewards: Good base salary with uncapped incentives tied to your performance.
