ROLE PURPOSE

Win new Technology, Digital and GCC clients for Taggd — selling RPO and project-based hiring solutions to CHROs, Talent Acquisition Heads and GCC Centre Heads across IT Services, Product, Telecom, Semiconductor and GCCs, and closing enterprise deals of 1 Crore and above against a 5 Crore annual new sales revenue target.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

New Business Acquisition

• Own the 5 Crore annual sales target, delivered primarily through new logos in the assigned segment.
• Build and work a named list of target accounts, and open conversations with senior HR and business leadership through referrals, events and direct outreach.
• Track new GCC set-ups and expansions, hiring ramp-ups, large deal wins, semiconductor and electronics investments and digital transformation programmes, and reach HR leadership before hiring partners are chosen.
• Position Taggd for high-volume technology hiring, niche and emerging-skill hiring (AI, data, cloud, cybersecurity, chip design and embedded systems), and leadership hiring for new centres.
• Build relationships across the GCC ecosystem — advisory firms, real estate and workspace partners — and technology, telecom and semiconductor industry forums.

Solution Selling and Deal Closure

• Run a consultative sales process — understand the client's hiring plan, volumes, roles and pain points before proposing a solution.
• Sell Taggd's RPO and Project-based Hiring solutions, positioning TARA-backed (AI) and non-TARA offerings based on what each client needs.
• Build business cases, proposals and commercial models for deals of 1 Crore and above, working with the solutioning and delivery teams.
• Lead pricing, commercial negotiation and contracting through to signature, protecting deal margins.
• Manage multiple stakeholders across HR, Talent Acquisition, Procurement, Finance and business leadership through 3–4 month sales cycles.

Pipeline and Forecasting

• Maintain a qualified pipeline with enough coverage to meet the annual target, with every opportunity updated in the CRM each week.
• Forecast bookings each month and quarter, and review pipeline health, deal stage and risks with the AVP – Sales.
• Track win and loss reasons on every closed opportunity and use them to sharpen targeting and positioning.

Market Presence and Network

• Build and sustain a strong network of CHROs, Talent Acquisition Heads and senior HR leaders in the segment.
• Represent Taggd at industry events, HR leadership forums and client round tables.
• Share market intelligence — hiring trends, competitor activity and client priorities — with Sales leadership and the solutioning team.

Internal Collaboration and Handover

• Work with the delivery and solutioning teams so that every proposal can be delivered as sold.
• Hand over each closed deal to the delivery team with a signed contract, an agreed scope and a kick-off plan.
• Stay involved through implementation and early delivery so that the client relationship holds and the account can grow.

CANDIDATE PROFILE

This role suits a proven enterprise hunter who already has the network and the wins in this segment, not someone who is new to it. The successful candidate will:

• Bring 10+ years of experience, with a consistent record of winning new logos in enterprise sales.
• Has proven wins with Technology, Digital or GCC clients — closed enterprise deals with IT Services, Product, Telecom or Semiconductor companies, or with GCCs. This sector exposure is a requirement of the role, not a preference.
• Have closed deals of 1 Crore and above through enterprise sales cycles of 3–4 months.
• Come from an executive search or recruitment firm, or from a solution-selling company such as RPO, HR Tech or B2B services.
• Have an established network of CHROs and Talent Acquisition Heads, and be able to open doors at that level from day one.
• Communicate with clarity and confidence, in writing and in person, and be comfortable presenting business cases to CXO audiences.
• Negotiate commercials and contracts with confidence, and manage several stakeholders on a single deal.
• Work with discipline in a CRM, with accurate pipeline and forecasting.
• Be based in Bengaluru or the wider region, and be willing to travel to client locations as the account base requires — local candidates only.
• Hold an MBA or a BE / BTech; a degree from a Tier-1 institute is preferred.
