Role Objective

The Business Development Team is responsible for acquiring enrollments by engaging with prospective learners from first contact through enrollment. The role focuses on converting intent into action, building a sustainable enrollment funnel, and expanding reach through both inbound and self-generated leads.  

Roles and responsibilities

  1. Own all inbound inquiries across calls, email, WhatsApp, chat, and web forms, ensuring timely response and consistent follow-through until enrollment or clear closure.
  2. Engage prospects in structured discovery conversations to understand their goals, background, readiness to enroll, and decision-making constraints.
  3. Lead sales discussions with clarity and purpose, guiding prospects toward informed and timely enrollment decisions.
  4. Present program offerings transparently and confidently, covering structure, duration, fees, certification value, learning outcomes, and expectations.
  5. Connect learner needs with relevant program benefits, clearly explaining how the offering aligns with their academic, professional, or career goals.
  6. Address questions and concerns around pricing, workload, credibility, timelines, and outcomes with honesty, data, and confidence.
  7. Drive enrollments using clear next steps, timely follow-ups, and well-defined closure conversations.
  8. Build and manage a strong enrollment funnel, ensuring every lead is actively progressed, reviewed, or intentionally closed.
  9. Maintain discipline within the pipeline by documenting interactions, tracking next actions, and avoiding stagnant or unworked leads.
  10. Proactively generate leads through LinkedIn outreach, referrals, professional networks, and personal prospecting efforts.
  11. Follow up consistently and thoughtfully to keep prospects engaged until they enroll, opt out, or move into long-term re-engagement cycles.
  12. Take ownership of assigned enrollment targets, regularly reviewing performance and adjusting outreach strategies to stay on track.
  13. Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in CRM systems, ensuring visibility into lead status, conversations, and outcomes.
  14. Identify early signs of drop-off and attempt revival before leads age out of the active funnel.
  15. Adhere to ethical communication practices when providing information about programs.
  16. Follow responsible marketing practices by aligning all interactions with data privacy norms, respectful communication standards, and culturally sensitive messaging across regions.
  17. Work closely with the Admissions, IT, Data, and Academic teams to ensure enrolled learners experience a smooth handover, complete documentation, and a seamless onboarding journey.
  18. Share insights, concerns, and patterns observed in learner conversations with Marketing and internal teams to continuously improve messaging, targeting, and program positioning.

Business Development
Communication Skills
Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

About the Role

We're looking for a Business Development Representative with 2–4 years of experience to help drive Inflexion Analytics' next stage of growth. You'll own the top of the funnel end-to-end — identifying target accounts, running outbound outreach, qualifying opportunities, and moving them into active sales conversations with senior leadership.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who genuinely enjoys the hunt, gets energised by cold outreach rather than drained by it, and wants to help build a book of business in a fast-growing specialist consultancy.

You'll be selling Inflexion's full service portfolio primarily into mid-market clients across the US and Europe (including the UK), with scope for the remit to become more global over time. You'll join a small but growing BD team, with clear runway to grow with it as we scale.

This role is suited to someone who's commercially sharp, comfortable talking to senior business stakeholders (Heads of Marketing, Analytics, CFOs, COOs).

Key Responsibilities

•     Identify and build target account lists across priority US and European markets, using a mix of research, market analysis, and intent signals.

•     Run high-quality outbound outreach across email, LinkedIn, and cold calling - with strong personalisation.

•     Qualify inbound and outbound leads against ICP criteria and book discovery calls for senior leadership.

•     Build and maintain a healthy, well-hygiened pipeline in [CRM — HubSpot / Salesforce / TBC], with accurate stage tracking and next-step discipline.

•     Develop a deep working understanding of Inflexion's service lines enough to have a credible first conversation and hand off cleanly to delivery leads.

•     Coordinate with delivery and pre-sales teams to shape solutions and proposals for qualified opportunities.

•     Support senior leadership through the middle and late stages of the sales cycle - proposals, negotiation, and close.

•     Track and report weekly on core BD metrics: outreach volume, response rates, meetings booked, qualified opportunities, pipeline value, and conversion.

•     Stay on top of trends in data, analytics, and AI including what competing consultancies are doing, so we're always sharpening our positioning.

•     Contribute to the growth and playbook of the BD function as the team scales.

Qualifications

•     2–4 years of experience in business development, sales development, or a related client-facing commercial role. Experience selling analytics, data, IT services, SaaS, or consulting into mid-market or enterprise buyers is a strong plus.

•     Proven track record of hitting or beating outbound targets - meetings booked, qualified opportunities generated, or pipeline value contributed.

•     Strong verbal and written communication and comfort on cold calls and discovery conversations with senior stakeholders.

•     Comfortable using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Clay, Apollo AI, or similar) to accelerate account research, personalisation, and outreach at scale, we expect this to be a core part of how you work, not an afterthought.

•     Hands-on experience with a modern sales stack - CRM plus tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, ZoomInfo, Lusha, or similar.

•     Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage a large number of active opportunities at different stages.

•     Ability to work independently and as part of a small, fast-moving team in a rapid-change environment.

•     Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field. MBA is a plus, not required.

Who are we?

Inflexion Analytics is a team of data science and analytics consultants based in London, UK, and Bangalore, India. Founded in 2015, we have built a strong track record and foundation serving demanding clients. We are now looking to achieve significant growth and become a leading specialist consultancy in the data science field.

What we do?
