Business Development Representative driving business expansion in Italy for a leading fintech. Engaging potential clients and managing full sales cycle to enhance financial solutions.
About the role
- Head of Business Development managing enterprise and institutional sales with direct accountability for revenue. Engaging with senior leadership and navigating complex procurement cycles.
Responsibilities
- Own and expand Antarctica's active client base and pipeline across SME, enterprise, and institutional segments
- Lead the full sales cycle - discovery, qualification, proposal, negotiation, close - with direct accountability for signed revenue
- Build and manage senior relationships with CIOs, CTOs, CFOs, and Chief Sustainability Officers across target accounts
- Navigate complex, multi-stakeholder procurement cycles and translate Antarctica's methodology into audit-ready value propositions for each client context
- Represent Antarctica across the ecosystem: industry events, conferences, and key institutional meetings.
- Define and continuously refine Antarctica's packaged offer in collaboration with the CEO and Product team: scope, pricing logic, success metrics, deliverables
- Work closely with R&D, Product, and the Head of Global Partnerships to ensure commercial and technical positioning are aligned
- Build the full sales kit: enterprise deck, one-pager, case narratives, proposal templates, pricing framework
- Execute the hiring plan for the BD function: Enterprise AE, SMB AE, Pre-Sales Engineer, Customer Success Manager and build a culture that reflects Antarctica's institutional standards: precise, credible, rigorous
Requirements
- 8 to 14 years of experience, with time in both senior individual contributor and early leadership roles
- You have personally closed complex B2B enterprise deals, including within regulated financial institutions or large conglomerates
- You have operated across both SME and enterprise sales motions. You know the difference and have executed both
- You carry enough technical fluency to hold a substantive conversation about AI infrastructure, energy measurement, and sustainability reporting without requiring a solution engineer in the room.
- You have built or significantly structured a commercial team before: defined roles, hired people, set performance frameworks.
- You are comfortable operating with high autonomy, incomplete information, and a mandate that evolves as the market responds
- You write clearly, you think institutionally, and you communicate with precision: Antarctica's clients expect it and your team will model it
- You are based in Mumbai or willing to relocate. While we are building a global business with an international team, Antarctica's homeland is India and your network here matters.
- **Strong advantage**
- Experience in enterprise software, SaaS, or sustainability-adjacent technology
- Prior exposure to FinOps, GreenOps, cloud cost management, or ESG reporting platforms
- Existing relationships within large conglomerates, financial institutions, or IT consulting practices
- Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with product, research, and technical teams on complex offer development
Benefits
- **What Antarctica Offers**
- Direct line to the CEO with genuine influence over commercial strategy and company direction
- Meaningful equity participation reflecting the seniority and foundational nature of the role
- A commercial mandate that sits at the intersection of a scientifically rigorous methodology, a product built for institutional-grade demands, and a client base that operates at the highest levels of industry and regulation
- An intellectually serious environment that offers you a chance to define how a category-creating company goes to market at the moment the category is being formed
