Business Development Associate
Gradlia Private Limited · Nashik, Maharashtra · On-site · Full-time, Permanent
About Gradlia
Gradlia helps Indian students study abroad in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Italy and the USA. We're growing fast and looking for a driven, consultative closer to own the student journey from first counselling session to enrolment.
About the Role
As an Enrollment Advisor, you'll be the named person a student and their family trust with one of the biggest decisions of their life — where to study, what it will cost, and whether they can get in. You'll counsel students and parents, build university shortlists they can actually get into and afford, close enrolments, and hand off a clean, complete file to our Operations team. You'll carry a monthly revenue target and earn an uncapped, formula-based incentive on top of your fixed salary.
What You'll Do
- Counsel allocated students and parents on country, course, cost and eligibility across five countries
- Assess academic and financial eligibility and build differentiated, honest university shortlists
- Guide students on total cost of study and education loan pathways
- Close enrolments and secure fees through approved payment channels
- Maintain CRM records as a same-day, accurate log of every student interaction
- Hand over each enrolled student to Operations as a complete, application-ready file
- Escalate refund requests, compliance concerns, and student issues immediately
What You'll Be Measured On
- Monthly collected revenue against target (with an incentive gate)
- Conversion of allocated qualified leads to paid enrolments
- CRM accuracy and same-day documentation discipline
- Quality and completeness of files handed to Operations
- Compliance with payment, data-protection and representation rules
What You Need
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- 2-3 years in consultative or high-consideration B2C sales (exceptional freshers welcome to apply)
- Professional fluency in English and Hindi; Marathi is a strong plus
- Comfort with CRM systems and disciplined follow-up
- Study-abroad or EdTech experience is a bonus, not a requirement
What We Offer
- Fixed salary + uncapped, formula-based monthly incentive on collected revenue
- Monthly, quarterly and annual recognition programs
- A clear promotion path: Enrollment Advisor → Senior Enrollment Advisor → Business Development Manager
- Structured training across five country portfolios — no prior country expertise required at hire
How We Work
Every rupee of incentive is calculated by formula and verified by Finance — nothing depends on opinion. We don't guarantee admissions or visas to students, and we don't hire people who will.
A few notes before you post this:
- I trimmed internal-only details (grade codes, document numbers, reporting-line specifics, the exact ₹ target/gate figures) since those read as noise or feel oddly specific on Indeed — happy to add the numbers back in if you want them visible as a draw for high performers.
- I dropped the compliance/legal caveats from the internal JD (disciplinary framework gaps, etc.) — irrelevant to a candidate-facing posting.
- Want me to also produce short versions for Operations Executive and Student Experience Executive in the same format, since those are part of the same set?
Pay: ₹25,000.00 - ₹30,000.00 per month
