Business Development Executive

Summary

You will own the end-to-end sales cycle for Uplift AI's Urdu voice AI agents, bringing human-like calling technology to Pakistan's leading businesses. Working directly with the founding team, you'll identify high-impact use cases across industries like e-commerce and banking to replace traditional call center operations. This is a high paying job with a commission model.

Pakistan runs on phone calls. Couriers confirm orders by phone, banks follow up on payments, stores call customers back, clinics remind patients. Uplift AI's voice agents can make those calls in natural Urdu, at the scale of an entire call centre, built on the same voice technology Khan Academy uses and backed by Y Combinator.

What you'll do

• Find the leads. Build your own target lists across e-commerce, courier and delivery, banking and finance, healthcare, real estate and telecom.

• Open doors. Reach decision-makers through calls, LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp, introductions and walking in, whatever gets the meeting.

• Understand their calls. Learn how each company handles its customer calls today, what it costs them, and where an AI agent would make the biggest difference.

• Pitch and demo. Show prospects what Uplift's voice agents sound like on calls that matter to their business.

• Run pilots with the engineering team. Work alongside Uplift's engineers to get customers set up, live and seeing results.

• Close. Handle objections, negotiate, and get to a signed deal.

• Bring the market back. Tell the team what customers ask for, what they push back on, and what would win the next deal.

• Own your pipeline. Keep track of every lead, conversation and next step without being chased.

What you'll bring

• You've sold something and won. It could be a product, a service, a deal at work, or sponsorships for a university event or society. You can tell us exactly how you won it.

• Rejection doesn't slow you down. You're comfortable cold-calling a company that has never heard of you, and calling again.

• You're persuasive in Urdu and English, on the phone, in a boardroom and in writing.

• You listen before you pitch. You find out what a customer actually needs before telling them what you have.

• You pick up technical products quickly and can explain AI to a non-technical operations manager in plain words.

• You're driven and organised. You set your own targets, chase them hard, and keep track of every lead.

Nice to have

• Experience in B2B or software sales.

• You've worked in or sold to call centres, BPOs, telecoms, banks, couriers or e-commerce companies, and know how their operations work.

• A network of operations, customer service or tech leaders at Pakistani companies.

• You're a recent graduate or still at university with real selling experience behind you. We see that as a plus.

What you don't need

• A technical degree. You'll learn the product here, and the engineering team has your back on the details.

• Years of experience. We're looking at 0 to 3 years. What matters is that you can sell.
