Soulera is a fast\-scaling startup at the intersection of cutting\-edge SaaS technology and expert\-managed services. We deliver end\-to\-end digital solutions to enterprise and mid\-market clients — combining a powerful software platform with hands\-on implementation, consulting, and ongoing support.
We are building a high\-performance sales team and are looking for a driven, market\-connected, and results\-obsessed Senior BDM who thrives in a startup environment and is confident selling new, innovative products to decision\-makers across industries.
As the Senior Business Development Manager, you will own the full revenue cycle — from identifying and nurturing cold leads to closing large enterprise contracts. You will be the first point of contact for prospective clients, the voice of Soulera in the market, and a key contributor to our go\-to\-market (GTM) strategy. This role demands a hunter mindset, deep industry connections, and the confidence to champion a new product in competitive markets.

- Develop and nurture strategic partnerships, alliances, and referral relationships.
- Stay continuously updated on market trends, competitor landscape, and client pain points.
