Location: Hybrid / Remote for the Right Candidate
Do you enjoy opening doors, building relationships with senior leaders, and creating business opportunities that make a measurable impact?
We are looking for an experienced Corporate Business Development Manager to drive strategic partnerships and generate new business opportunities for one of India's leading keynote speakers, leadership consultants, and corporate workshop facilitators.
This is not a conventional training sales role. We are looking for someone who understands consultative selling, enterprise learning, and the dynamics of engaging CXOs, HR leaders, Learning & Development heads, and business leaders.
About Us
We partner with organisations across India to design and deliver transformational learning experiences that solve real business challenges.
Our work goes beyond traditional soft-skills training. We create high-impact keynote sessions, executive workshops, leadership interventions, and customised capability-building programmes aligned with organisational goals.
Our areas of expertise include:
- Leadership Development
- Sales Excellence
- Strategic Negotiation
- AI for Leaders and Business Teams
- Change Management
- Innovation & Creativity
- High-Performance Teams
- Organisational Transformation
Led by an internationally recognised keynote speaker, author, and business strategist with more than two decades of experience, we have worked with leading organisations across multiple industries and countries, helping leaders navigate growth, transformation, and business excellence.
The Opportunity
As our Corporate Business Development Manager, you will be responsible for identifying opportunities, developing client relationships, and converting conversations into long-term partnerships.
You will play a pivotal role in expanding our corporate footprint by connecting with organisations seeking world-class leadership development and business learning solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify and develop new corporate business opportunities across India.
- Build relationships with CHROs, Heads of Learning & Development, CEOs, Business Heads, HR Directors, and Procurement teams.
- Generate qualified meetings through networking, referrals, outbound outreach, and strategic prospecting.
- Understand client business challenges and position relevant learning and development solutions.
- Coordinate discovery meetings and client presentations.
- Prepare proposals, commercial discussions, and follow-up communication.
- Manage the complete business development lifecycle from lead generation to closure.
- Collaborate with the leadership team to design customised learning interventions.
- Build strategic alliances with HR consulting firms, event companies, and corporate networks.
- Maintain an active sales pipeline and CRM with accurate forecasting.
- Represent the brand with professionalism, credibility, and business acumen.
Who Should Apply
We would love to hear from professionals who have:
- 5+ years of experience in B2B business development or enterprise sales.
- Experience selling corporate training, consulting, executive coaching, HR solutions, business services, or leadership development programmes.
- Existing relationships with HR, L&D, or senior corporate decision-makers will be a significant advantage.
- Strong communication, presentation, and negotiation skills.
- The ability to understand organisational challenges and recommend consultative solutions rather than transactional offerings.
- A self-driven mindset with excellent networking and relationship-building capabilities.
- A proven track record of achieving sales or revenue targets.
- Willingness to travel for client meetings when required.
What Will Make You Stand Out
- Experience in the corporate learning, consulting, or executive education industry.
- A network within large and mid-sized enterprises.
- Confidence engaging with C-suite executives and business leaders.
- Commercial acumen combined with a strategic mindset.
- Passion for leadership, organisational transformation, and business growth.
What Success Looks Like
The successful candidate will help expand our presence across India's corporate sector by consistently creating high-quality business opportunities, converting strategic engagements into long-term client relationships, and contributing to sustained revenue growth.
This is a role for someone who enjoys creating opportunities, influencing decision-makers, and becoming a trusted advisor rather than simply selling programmes.
Compensation
We offer an attractive compensation structure comprising a competitive fixed salary along with a performance-linked incentive model that rewards business growth and successful client acquisition.
Why Join Us?
- Work alongside one of India's respected keynote speakers and business strategists.
- Engage with senior leaders and leading organisations across diverse industries.
- Represent premium leadership and organisational development solutions.
- Be part of a purpose-driven organisation that believes learning should transform businesses—not merely deliver training.
- Opportunity to grow into a strategic leadership role as the business expands.
