Business Development Manager Growth & Partnerships

Reports to: CEO

Location: Bengaluru, on-site with travel (client visits, TheCMOcircle events, industry meetups)

Comp: Base up to ₹15L + uncapped variable, tiered % of deal value

Role Summary

Own new business for Verbinden's GEO/AEO practice — the primary mandate. Build and run outbound pipeline, convert warm relationships and referral network into qualified conversations, and close. Secondary mandate: surface and close IT services / product engineering opportunities in the same buyer conversations — not a separate hunt.

What you'll sell

Primary: GEO/AEO services (answer-engine visibility, AI-citation optimization) to mid-market/enterprise tech buyers — SaaS, fintech, cybersecurity, IT resellers/OEMs.

Secondary: web/mobile/UI-UX/AI-RAG engagements to the same buyer universe.

Who you are

• 3–4 years B2B services/agency sales experience
• Existing network in tech marketing or IT decision-maker circles — a LinkedIn presence that generates replies, not just a profile
• Comfortable being measured on outcomes, not activity
• Prior quota-carrying role, ideally at an agency, martech vendor, or IT services shop
• Willing to bet on uncapped upside over a large base
