Area Sales Manager - Field sales(B2B)

About Finkraft

Finkraft.ai is an AI-first financial-automation company. We turn the hardest layer of enterprise travel and tax — invoices, identities and indirect-tax recovery — into clean, compliant, recoverable data for large corporates and their travel ecosystems. We are now building the operating layer for hospitality e-invoicing and cross-border VAT recovery across the UAE and the wider GCC, and we need someone to turn that product wedge into a repeatable commercial motion.

We are looking for a high-energy, self-driven Area Sales Manager to spearhead B2B corporate sales growth across Bangalore. This is a pure individual-contributor, field-sales role demanding strong on-ground presence, a hunter mentality, and a demonstrated ability to build and nurture enterprise relationships across mid-to-large corporates.

•     Build account plans and grow wallet share within existing corporate accounts

Corporate Travel Business

•     Provide daily / weekly territory reports covering market feedback, competitor activity, and opportunity status

•     Initiate sales reviews with channel partners and enterprise accounts, and contribute to strategic planning discussions

Requirements

•     Graduate in any discipline (MBA / PGDM in Sales / Marketing preferred)

•     Certifications in Travel, Hospitality, or Sales Management are a plus

•     5–10 years of B2B / corporate field sales experience in a customer-facing role — preferably from the Travel, TMC, Hotel / Hospitality, or Airline industry

•     Proven track record as an individual contributor in corporate sales, with measurable revenue delivery

•     Proficiency in CRM tools, MS Office, and digital communication platforms

•     Self-motivated, with strong ownership, accountability, and target orientation
