• Lead technical discovery meetings to deeply understand client needs and business challenges.
• Design and present tailored IT solutions and proposals that align with client goals.
• Lead contract negotiations and close high-value deals.
• Collaborate with our internal technical teams in Kannur to ensure smooth project hand-off and solution delivery.
• Track sales activities and provide regular reports on the sales pipeline.

Requirements (Must-Have)

• Required Experience: 4+ years of proven experience in a client-facing, business development, or technical sales role specifically within the IT services industry.

• Self-motivated, highly target-driven, and thrives on autonomy.
• Exceptional communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills.
• Strong problem-solving and negotiation skills.
• The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment.
