Position: Business Development Executive (Agri & Dairy Sector)

Location: Multiple states across India (Tamil Nadu / Karnataka / Punjab / Gujarat / Maharashtra preferred)

Reporting To: Head – Business Development / CEO

________________________________________

Role Overview

The Business Development Executive will spearhead partnerships, field engagements, and sales expansion for Chimertech's smart dairy and animal health solutions across Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), Dairy Cooperatives, Goshalas, and allied livestock institutions. The role demands a blend of field acumen, relationship-building skills, and domain understanding of dairy management, veterinary practices, and farmer networks.

The ideal candidate is not a typical sales rep but a sector enabler — someone capable of translating technology into impact, demonstrating tangible benefits to rural stakeholders, and building sustainable revenue and partnership pipelines.
