About Airtribe
Airtribe is an AI-first up-skilling platform for working professionals. From Product Management to Backend Engineering, our programs are designed around real-world use cases, AI tools, and hands-on learning. We work with instructors from companies like Microsoft, Meta, Razorpay, Coinbase, Gojek, and Uber, and have helped 5,000+ professionals accelerate their careers. Backed by Better Capital, 640 Ventures, and Kunal Shah, we're building a fast-growing learning platform focused on real outcomes.

The Context
At Airtribe, Business Development is not about pushing sales. It is about helping working
professionals make the right career decisions. As we scale, the volume of learners and conversations increases, but maintaining trust, clarity, and quality in each interaction becomes harder. This role exists to ensure that every learner interaction is thoughtful, consultative, and outcome-driven, not transactional.

The Role
As a Business Development Executive, you will work closely with learners to understand their goals and guide them toward the right programs. You will own the journey from the first conversation to final enrolment, ensuring clarity, trust, and a strong learner experience throughout.

What You’ll Own
End-to-end learner conversations from first touchpoint to enrollment
Understanding learner goals and guiding them with clarity and empathy
Follow-ups, objection handling, and decision support
Maintaining quality and consistency across all interactions
Accurate documentation of conversations, follow-ups, and outcomes
Contributing insights to improve product, marketing, and program experience
Building relationships through calls, events, and networking opportunities

What Problems You’ll Solve
Helping learners make informed decisions instead of rushed choices
Reducing drop-offs caused by confusion or lack of clarity
Building trust in a high-volume, fast-moving sales environment
Ensuring conversations are consultative, not script-driven
Bringing structure and consistency to follow-ups and communication

How This Role Evolves
In the initial phase, your focus will be on understanding the product, learner personas, and running effective conversations.
Over time, you will be expected to improve conversion quality, handle more complex conversations, and contribute to refining sales processes and playbooks.
Based on performance, this role can evolve into owning larger pipelines, mentoring junior team members, or moving into high-impact sales or growth roles.

What We’re Looking For
1–2 years of experience in Sales, Inside Sales, or Business Development
Strong communication skills, both verbal and written
Ability to build trust quickly and handle objections with clarity
Comfort working in a fast-paced, target-driven environment
Ownership mindset, proactive and accountable
Basic familiarity with CRMs, Google Sheets, and sales tools

Nice to have
Experience in edtech or consultative sales environments

What This Role Is Not
This is not a script-driven or transactional sales role.
We are not looking for someone who pushes for closures.
We are looking for someone who understands learners, builds trust, and helps them make the right decisions.

Why Join Airtribe
High-impact role with direct business visibility
Clear growth path in a performance-driven environment
Collaborative and ambitious team culture
Competitive compensation and incentives
Comprehensive medical insurance

At Airtribe, Business Development is about building trust and driving meaningful outcomes, not
just closing deals.
