Business Development Executive

About the role

The other half of the marketplace. You will own relationships with the companies that hire from communityX, send mentors into it, and sponsor its hackathons — from first outreach through to a signed, renewed partnership.

You will be based in Bangalore and working the technology corridor: startups, GCCs, and the engineering teams inside larger firms.

What you'll do

• Open and close partnerships with technology companies hiring early-career engineers
• Run discovery properly: work out what a company's hiring problem actually is before proposing anything
• Put together hiring hackathons, mentorship cohorts and sponsorships with the programs team
• Own renewals and expansion, not just the first signature
• Keep clean pipeline and forecast data
• Feed what partners are asking for back into what we build

What we're looking for

• 2–4 years in B2B sales, partnerships or recruitment
• A record of closing deals with technology companies
• Able to hold a conversation with an engineering leader about their hiring pipeline and be useful in it
• Clear written communication — proposals and follow-ups that land
• Based in Bangalore

Bonus points

• You have sold recruitment, ed-tech or developer tooling
• A network among engineering and talent leaders in Bangalore
• You have run hackathons or developer events

Why communityX

You are not selling advertising. Companies come to us because they cannot find early-career engineers who can actually build, and we have 50,000 of them. The product does a lot of the work.
