About Us

Led by alumni from London School of Economics UK, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and KPMG with work experience across UK, India, South-East Asia and Australia, Ascendus specialises in providing industry research and consulting services that help businesses navigate markets with confidence. For startups, we offer pitch deck development, financial modelling, market research, and more. Our clients include pioneering companies at the forefront of AI and technological innovation.

We work closely with ambitious early-stage companies and are building a disciplined, high-performance inbound sales engine focused on international markets, particularly the US.

About The Role

We are looking for a confident, commercially aware International Sales Specialist who can own the full sales cycle for inbound leads. This is a quota-carrying, closing-focused role. You will handle discovery, qualification, positioning, and conversion for founders exploring fundraising support services. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in consultative selling environments and can close in short sales cycles (1-3 calls).

What You'll Do

• Run structured discovery calls with inbound founders (primarily US-based) to understand business model, revenue, traction, challenges and goals
• Present our services in a consultative and outcome-oriented manner
• Handle pricing discussions and objections with clarity and confidence
• Close engagements for structured consulting mandates
• Maintain strong CRM discipline and accurate pipeline tracking
• Share insights to refine messaging, qualification criteria, and sales scripts

What We're Looking For

• 2-5 years of B2B closing experience selling directly to startup founders and senior decision-makers, preferably in consulting, SaaS, or financial services, with exposure to US or international markets
• Proven ability to close deals in 1-3 call cycles
• Strong consultative selling skills - you diagnose before pitching
• Comfort discussing budgets, value, and ROI confidently
• Experience engaging with founders, CXOs, or decision-makers
• Excellent English communication skills (neutral/global accent preferred)
• CRM proficiency and structured pipeline management

Why Join Us

• Market driven compensation
• Work remotely, on part-time basis
• Inbound pipeline - focus on closing, not cold prospecting
• Opportunity to work with a dynamic team of professionals with prior experience at leading global institutions and interact with founders globally
• Skill development across sales, strategy and communication
