Link Prospector & Research

Al-Native Business Development Lead

Location: Pune / Remote

Reports to: CEO

We're not looking for a traditional salesperson. We're looking for an architect.

The Challenge

Most business development professionals are still playing by 2020 rules in a 2025 world. They're making cold calls when they should be building intelligent outreach systems. They're creating generic presentations when they should be crafting hyper-personalized, Al-generated content that speaks directly to each prospect's pain points.

We believe that the future of business development isn't built on hustle alone-it's built on intelligence, systems, and leveraging Al to amplify human creativity. We're searching for a rare individual who sees business development not as a list of activities, but as an intelligent system to be designed, tested, and perfected.

If you're the person who experiments with Al tools on weekends, builds custom workflows to automate repetitive tasks, and believes the most powerful sales tool is deep understanding of the customer's world-we want to talk to you.

Your Mission: What You'll Actually Do

Your core mission is to unlock high-quality, impactful business for Tekdi by building a predictable, Al-powered pipeline engine that identifies and engages the exact right enterprises who need our solutions.

Build the Intelligence Layer

You'll become the expert on Tekdi's offerings-our Al solutions, our traditional software development services, our Product-First Sustainable Open Source approach. Your first job is to understand our value better than anyone and map it precisely to enterprise pain points.

Design the Enterprise-First Strategy

70% Enterprise Focus: You will architect our approach to mid-market and enterprise clients who need technology transformation. This isn't about company size alone-it's about identifying organizations ready for meaningful technology investment.

30% Strategic Diversification: You'll also develop targeted approaches for select Government and Civil Society opportunities that align with our mission to catalyze societal transformation.

Execute with Al-Native Precision

You will design and execute campaigns across multiple channels (email, Linkedin, industry

communities, content marketing) using Al tools to amplify your effectiveness. This means building intelligent prospect research systems, creating personalized outreach at scale, and developing content that positions Tekdi as the obvious choice.

Deliver Results, Fast

By the end of your first week, you'll have launched your first campaign. By month two, you'll have a functioning pipeline system. By quarter one, you'll be generating qualified opportunities that matter.

Who You Are: The Mindset We're Looking For

Beyond skills, we're looking for a specific way of operating:

An Al-Native Thinker: You don't just use Al tools- you think in Al-augmented workflows. You see ChatGPT, Claude, and emerging tools as extensions of your capability, not occasional helpers.

A Systems Builder: You see chaos and instinctively create order. You think in terms of repeatable processes, feedback loops, and scalable systems rather than one-off activities.

Intellectually Voracious: You have an insatiable curiosity about our clients' industries, challenges, and the technology landscape. You approach each conversation like a consultant seeking to understand, not a salesperson seeking to pitch.

Speed + Quality Obsessed: You get more satisfaction from launching three well-executed campaigns than perfecting one. You understand that perfect is the enemy of shipped.

First-Principles Problem Solver: You don't ask "what's the standard approach?" You ask "what are we trying to achieve, and what's the most intelligent path there?"

Results-Driven: You measure success by pipeline generated and deals closed, not activities completed. You're comfortable being held accountable for revenue outcomes.

What You Bring to the Table

Business Development Foundation: Proven track record in strategic B2B sales, preferably in technology services or software development. You understand complex enterprise sales cycles.

Al-Native Capabilities: You're genuinely curious about Al and actively explore how tools can make you more effective. You see Al as a competitive advantage, not a threat.

Technical Appreciation: While you don't need to code, an engineering or technical background helps you understand what we build and why it matters. You can have intelligent conversations about technology solutions.

Communication Excellence: You can write compelling, human-sounding outreach that cuts through noise. You can articulate complex technical value propositions in business terms that matter.

Analytical Rigor: You're comfortable with data and use it to find truth. You optimize based on metrics that measure real impact (qualified pipeline, deal velocity) not vanity metrics (emails sent, calls made).

Why You'll Love This Role

Build from the Ground Up: You'll have the autonomy to design a modern, global business development function and see the direct impact of your intelligence and creativity on international company growth.

Purpose-Driven Work: You'll be selling solutions that genuinely create societal impact through technology, working with organizations across the Global North and India who are trying to solve real problems.

Global Impact: Your work will span continents and cultures, giving you exposure to diverse business challenges and the satisfaction of creating meaningful change across different markets.

Al-First Environment: You'll work with a team that fundamentally believes in leveraging technology for competitive advantage. Your Al-native approach won't just be welcomedit'll be expected.

Direct CEO Partnership: You'll work directly with leadership to shape not just what we sell globally, but how we go to market across different regions. Your insights will influence international strategy.

Growth Trajectory: Start as a one-person powerhouse. Prove the model, and you'll build and lead the team that scales it.

The Tekdi Difference

We're not just another software consultancy. We believe in catalyzing societal transformation by empowering organizations and individuals with technology. Our Product-First, Sustainable Open Source approach means we build solutions that create lasting value, not just short-term fixes.

We live by our values: Enjoy the Magic of Creation, Give Your Best, Build for Most, Not for Few, and Give Back. This isn't corporate speak-it's how we actually operate.

We are a team, not a family. This creates the accountability and standards needed for high performance. We expect excellence because the problems we're solving matter.
