Head of Strategic Sales

Location : Pune, India

Experience : 5+ years

Reporting : Director of Business Development

We're at an inflection point. AI maturity, edge computing advancement, and enterprise readiness have converged to create something unprecedented : the opportunity to introduce autonomous drone operations to large industrial sites.

FlytBase sits at the center of this transformation. With 300+ deployments across 6 continents, we've proven that autonomous drone-in-a-box systems can deliver extraordinary value to Fortune 500 companies in mining, energy, utilities, and critical infrastructure. Our customers are achieving 60% cost reductions, 10x coverage improvements, and 24 / 7 monitoring capabilities they never thought feasible.

But here's what makes this moment special : we're not just scaling a product, we're creating an entire category. Every conversation you have with a customer becomes case study #1 for an industry. Every approach you develop becomes the playbook others will follow. You'll be among the first people in the world selling autonomous operations at enterprise scale.

What You'll Own :

Account Expansion & Value Discovery

Your customers don't start thinking about autonomous operations—they start with a specific pain point. A mining company needs better perimeter security. An energy facility wants more efficient inspections. What they discover is that autonomous systems can transform their entire operational paradigm.

You'll guide customers from initial 2-3 drone deployments to comprehensive 50+ system implementations. You'll become expert at translating platform capabilities into quantified ROI that gets executive attention.

Market Evangelism & Category Building

Most of your prospects have never heard of autonomous operations. Your job is to expand their conception of what's possible. You'll create demonstrations that make the impossible seem inevitable. You'll help customers envision operational capabilities they never knew they needed.

Global Territory Development

You'll work directly with international customers, navigate complex cultural dynamics, and build systematic approaches to market development. You'll build territories from first principles.

Who We're Looking For :

You're Energized by Impossible Problems

Complex technical challenges fascinate you rather than overwhelm you. When customers say "that's not possible in our industry," you get excited about proving them wrong. You see autonomous systems, enterprise operations, and AI integration as fascinating puzzles to solve.

You Want to Work with Exceptional People

You actively seek high-talent-density environments where everyone challenges you to grow. You fear comfortable mediocrity more than difficult uncertainty. You've experienced the energy that comes from working alongside brilliant people, and you want more of it.

You Want to Own Your Territory

You think like an owner, not an employee. You're comfortable with ambiguity and prefer figuring things out as you go rather than waiting for detailed instruction.

You are a "Doer," not a Delegator

You have a proven track record as a hands-on seller, even in senior roles. You find genuine energy in the "nitty-gritty" of building a deal yourself

You Think in Terms of Business Value

You have a proven ability to translate complex technical features into a clear, compelling financial and operational business case for a non-technical C-suite audience.

Our Cultural DNA Fits Your Operating Style

• Mazaa Aayega - You find genuine joy in complex challenges. Work feels like play when you're solving interesting problems.
• H3 Philosophy - You believe in sustainable high performance through Happy + Healthy + High-Performance harmony.
• Bias for Action - You prefer doing over endless planning. You take initiative without waiting for perfect information.
• Global Excellence Ambition - You want to build something globally significant, not just hit quotas.
