About CT Nova

CT Nova is an enterprise learning platform that runs inside our customers’ own cloud. Rather than asking organisations to hand their learner data to someone else’s SaaS, we deploy the entire platform as an Azure Managed Application into the customer’s own Azure tenant — data never leaves their environment, and billing runs through the Azure Marketplace on metered usage.

The product grew out of migrations off Microsoft’s Community Training platform, so our DNA is large-scale, often public-interest training: government skilling programmes, NGO field workforces, enterprise frontline teams. We work with organisations across several regions, some running training at a scale of hundreds of thousands of learners.


The role

·     Title: Founder’s Office — Growth

·     Reports to: The founders, directly

·     Location: Bengaluru preferred; remote considered for the right person. Periodic travel for client meetings.

·     Compensation: Competitive fixed salary, performance-linked variable, and ESOPs.


You will be our first dedicated growth hire, and that word — first — is most of the job. There is no playbook to inherit, no readymade pipeline handed over, and no team beneath you yet.

Almost every customer we have today reached us through Founder network & relationship rather than through a sales motion. That base is real, sticky and expandable. It is also exactly why the next phase has to look different. Your job is to build a new muscle : a repeatable way of finding, winning and growing accounts on our own terms.


This is a Founder’s Office role in the real sense. You will spend time in customer conversations, time in spreadsheets, and time in the room where decisions actually get made. The founders are in these conversations alongside you — this is neither a role where you are sent out alone with a bag and a number, nor one where you produce strategy at a safe distance from the customer.


What you’ll own

·     Customer conversations: Run a standing rhythm of structured conversations across our existing base — not support check-ins, but real discovery into what each organisation is trying to achieve, where the platform gets in their way, and what would justify them expanding.

·     Growth opportunities: Turn those conversations into a ranked, evidence-backed view of where the next tranche of revenue comes from — which accounts can grow, what unlocks each one, which segments deserve concentration, and what we should decline.

·     Expansion and retention: Own the commercial side of the existing base — expansion, renewals, pricing conversations, and account plans that make growth deliberate rather than reactive.

·     The GTM pipeline: Work with marketing to stand up an acquisition engine from close to zero — a defined ICP, positioning and messaging that survives contact with a buyer, an outbound motion, and enough tracking to tell whether any of it is working.

·     Partner motion: Make the Microsoft relationship a deliberate channel rather than an accident of history — Marketplace listing, co-sell readiness, and working relationships with regional systems integrators.

·     Product feedback loop: Sit between customers and engineering. A meaningful share of our expansion revenue is gated by product work — reliability at scale, onboarding, SSO, reporting — so translating commercial urgency into a credible roadmap argument is part of the role, not a side effect of it.


What the first year looks like

·     First 90 days: You have spoken to every meaningful customer and formed your own view of the base. You have written a growth thesis with a ranked opportunity list, and agreed with the founders on where to concentrate.

·     By six months: A working pipeline with self-sourced opportunities in it. Expansion plans live on the top accounts. Positioning and collateral a newcomer could sell from.

·     By twelve months: Revenue growth you can attribute to specific decisions, measurably less dependence on any single account or channel, and a motion documented well enough that the next two hires can run it.


What we’re looking for


Must-haves

·     Commercial ownership: 3–6 years in a role where you carried commercial responsibility for B2B outcomes — GTM at a SaaS or PaaS company, consulting, or an early-stage operating role. Titles matter less to us than evidence that you have owned something end to end.

·     Customer presence: Comfort in front of customers, including technical buyers, and the ability to hold your own on cloud deployment, data residency and total cost of ownership. You do not need to be an engineer; you do need to be unafraid of technical detail.

·     Structured thinking and clear writing: Much of this job is turning messy conversations into a position other people can act on. We will ask to see a written sample.

·     Comfort with low support: There is no CRM hygiene team, no SDR, and no marketing department waiting on your brief. What exists is what you build.


Good to have

·     Exposure to Microsoft’s co-sell ecosystem, Azure Marketplace transactions, or partner-led motions.

·     Experience selling into government, development-sector or education buyers, where cycles are long and procurement is a discipline of its own.

·     Familiarity with LMS/LXP or workforce-development products.

·     Time spent at a company under 30 people.


Who this role isn’t for

We would rather be direct now than waste your time later.

·     If you want a defined territory, an inherited pipeline and a quota to work against, this will frustrate you.

·     If you want a purely strategic seat — market maps and decks, no customer calls — this is not that either.

·     Our base is small and concentrated, the product still has scaling work ahead of it, and some of what you propose will be constrained by engineering capacity. Working inside that tension is the job, not an obstacle to it.


How to apply

Our process: an intro call with a founder, then a written exercise based on a real CT Nova growth problem and a discussion of your response, then a conversation with the founding team, then references. We aim to close within three weeks.

About Discover Dollar

Discover Dollar helps large enterprises recover lost profit through AP recovery audits, contract compliance reviews, and profit leakage prevention. We work with major retail, manufacturing, CPG, healthcare, and insurance organizations including Target, ABInBev, Carrier, Canadian Tire, etc. to find and recover money that falls through the cracks of complex procure-to-pay processes.


The Role

We're looking for a Sales Director to scale our existing sales team and drive revenue growth across both direct enterprise sales and partnership-led channels. This is a player-coach role: you'll manage and develop a team of SDRs while staying close enough to the pipeline to unblock deals, shape strategy, and represent Discover Dollar in front of senior enterprise stakeholders (CFO, VP Finance, Controller, Head of AP).

You'll report directly into leadership and have real influence over how we scale go-to-market.


What You'll Do

  • Lead and scale the team - Manage, coach, and grow a team of sales reps/SDRs; build repeatable processes for pipeline management, forecasting, and deal reviews.
  • Own direct enterprise sales - Drive new logo acquisition and expansion within existing accounts, engaging CFOs, VPs of Finance, Controllers, and Heads of AP.
  • Build and manage the partnership motion - Work alongside our partnerships team to convert channel relationships with BPO, ERP/SI, and advisory firms (e.g. benchmarking and strategic advisory partners) into qualified pipeline and closed revenue.
  • Own the number - Be accountable for team quota, accurate forecasting, and pipeline health; report regularly to leadership on performance, blockers, and course corrections.
  • Refine the GTM motion - Bring structure to messaging, qualification criteria, and deal stages as we drive toward a repeatable, team-driven model.
  • Represent Discover Dollar externally - Lead executive-level conversations, present findings and value propositions to senior enterprise stakeholders, and negotiate contract terms.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally - Work closely with audit, product, and marketing teams to ensure sales commitments align with delivery capability, and that market feedback shapes product and content strategy.


What we're looking for

  • 10-15 years of B2B sales experience, with at least 3-5 years in a sales leadership/management role scaling a team (not just an IC background).
  • Proven track record selling into enterprise accounts in the US and Canada market. Experience with CFO/Finance/AP stakeholders is a strong plus, especially in cost recovery, audit, procurement, fintech, or adjacent B2B SaaS/services categories.
  • Experience running both direct sales and partner/channel motions. You understand how to build pipeline through partnerships (BPO, ERP/SI, advisory) in addition to direct outbound and inbound.
  • Demonstrated ability to build sales processes from a relatively early stage (pipeline hygiene, forecasting discipline, coaching frameworks) rather than just operating inside an existing mature system.
  • Strong executive presence; comfortable being the face of the company in high-stakes conversations with senior finance and procurement leaders.
  • Data-driven approach to pipeline and team management; comfortable owning and defending a number.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to translate complex value propositions (financial recovery, ROI, compliance risk) into crisp, executive-ready narratives.


Nice to Have

  • Experience selling audit, compliance, cost-recovery, or fintech/SaaS solutions into Fortune 1000 accounts.
  • Familiarity with partnership/channel GTM models (referral, co-sell, contingency-based).
  • Experience scaling a sales team from single digits into a larger, structured org.
  • Exposure to selling both services-led and SaaS-led offerings in parallel.


What We Offer

  • A high-ownership role with direct influence on GTM strategy, not just execution.
  • Direct access to founders and leadership; fast decision cycles.
  • Competitive base + uncapped variable compensation tied to team and individual performance.
  • The opportunity to build a scaled sales function from the ground up at a fast-growing company already working with marquee enterprise clients.

About AbleCredit

AbleCredit helps banks, NBFCs, and housing finance companies make faster, better-informed lending decisions through technology-enabled field verification, income estimation, borrower verification, and post disbursement portfolio monitoring. Our solutions enable financial institutions to improve operational efficiency, reduce risk, and accelerate lending decisions.


The Role

We're looking for a Manager – Pre-Sales & Solution Consulting to bridge the gap between customer requirements and our product capabilities.


As part of the Sales team, you will engage with prospective clients to understand their business processes, lending workflows, and operational challenges. You will evaluate solution feasibility, define the scope of Proof of Concepts (POCs), and work closely with Product, Engineering, and Operations teams to design solutions that align with customer requirements.


This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving business problems, collaborating across teams, and translating customer needs into practical product solutions. While you will work closely with the Sales team, your primary responsibility is to ensure technical and business feasibility before a commercial commitment is made.


What You'll Do?

  • Understand prospective clients' lending workflows, operational processes, and business challenges through discovery sessions.
  • Gather, analyse, and document business requirements to determine how AbleCredit's platform can address customer needs.
  • Conduct feasibility assessments for new client use cases and identify any product or implementation gaps.
  • Define the scope, objectives, success criteria, assumptions, and timelines for client POCs.
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, Operations, and Sales teams to design practical and scalable solutions.
  • Recommend configuration approaches or process improvements based on customer requirements.
  • Identify implementation risks, dependencies, and constraints early in the sales cycle.
  • Support customer meetings by presenting solution workflows, product capabilities, and proposed approaches.
  • Coordinate internal stakeholders to ensure POCs are well planned and executed as designed.
  • Create clear solution documentation, requirement specifications, process flows, and implementation notes.
  • Provide structured customer feedback to Product teams to support future product enhancements.
  • Ensure a seamless handover of validated opportunities to the implementation or Customer Success teams once commercial discussions begin.


What We're Looking For?

  • 2–4 years of experience in Pre-Sales, Solution Consulting, Solution Engineering, Business Analysis, Product Consulting, Implementation Consulting, or a similar customer-facing role within a B2B SaaS, FinTech, or enterprise technology environment.
  • Strong experience gathering business requirements and translating them into solution designs.
  • Ability to understand business processes and evaluate solution feasibility.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to engage business and operational teams.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with attention to detail.
  • Experience coordinating with cross-functional teams including Product, Engineering, Operations, and Sales.
  • Ability to manage multiple customer engagements simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
  • Comfortable preparing documentation such as business requirements, solution proposals, process flows, and POC plans.


Nice to Have

  • Experience working with banks, NBFCs, lending platforms, or other BFSI organisations.
  • Understanding of lending operations, credit workflows, field verification, or loan origination processes.
  • Experience supporting enterprise software implementations or Proof of Concepts.
  • Familiarity with APIs, system integrations, or workflow automation concepts.
  • Experience using CRM and project management tools.


What Success Looks Like?

  • Customer requirements are accurately understood and translated into well-defined solution plans.
  • Feasibility assessments are completed with minimal rework during implementation.
  • POCs are scoped clearly with realistic timelines and measurable success criteria.
  • Strong collaboration between Sales, Product, and Engineering throughout the pre-sales lifecycle.
  • Smooth transition of qualified opportunities to implementation teams with complete documentation and minimal knowledge gaps.
