IT Sales & Business Development Manager

location_on Vinnytsia | Ukraine, Worldwide

Directions: Sales & BizDev

Overview

Full-cycle role: you find the clients, you close them, you grow them. There is no separate lead generation team — prospecting is part of the job, not something handed to you.

Read this part first

Flexipy is a small Python and AI development agency. Not a large outsourcing company — the founder is a senior engineer who still writes code and joins every technical call. We build production AI systems: agents, RAG, LLM integrations, and the Django/FastAPI backends underneath them.

We're hiring our first salesperson. That means there is no machine to step into. There are ICPs, a CRM, proposal templates, and a channel that has closed 18 contracts at 100% Job Success — but the outbound playbook is early, and you would help write it.

If you want a mature funnel with a marketing team feeding you qualified leads, this is not that role and you would be unhappy here. If you like building the thing, keep reading.

What you would actually do

Most Agencies Hire For Volume. We're Not Doing That. Our Best Client Started As a Small Project, Went Well, And Grew Into a Multi-month Engagement With a Team On It. That Pattern Is The Job

• Find and qualify clients on Upwork, LinkedIn, and direct outreach
• Qualify on expansion potential, not deal size — a small first project with a company that can grow is worth more than a bigger one that can't
• Run outreach sequences and follow-ups that don't read like templates
• Book first conversations and run the commercial side — the founder joins for technical scoping
• Run the expansion conversation after a client's first project ships. This is the part that matters most
• Prepare proposals and statements of work
• Help write case studies, refresh the ICPs, and improve the playbook as we learn what converts
• Keep the CRM honest
  
  

Requirements

• 2–3+ years in IT sales, business development, or lead generation
• Experience selling services — custom development, outsourcing or consulting. Not only products. Selling a known product with a brand behind it is a different job
• English B2+/C1, including written English good enough for client-facing proposals
• Hands-on outreach experience on Upwork, LinkedIn, or similar
• Comfortable being the only salesperson, reporting directly to the founder
• AI tools in daily work — Claude, ChatGPT, AI agents — for lead research, drafting, proposals, summaries, CRM updates and follow-ups. This is a requirement, not a bonus
• Self-organized, detail-oriented, honest about what isn't working
  
  

Nice to have

• Experience at a software development agency
• CRM fluency (Pipedrive, HubSpot or similar)
• Outbound tooling: Apollo, Instantly, Smartlead, Sales Navigator, Hunter
• Enough understanding of AI and LLM products to hold a first conversation credibly
  
  

What we offer

• Remote, flexible start between 8:00 and 11:00, 8-hour day
• No screen tracking, no micromanagement — results only
• Daily sync, weekly planning
• Direct work with the founder, no layers, no politics
• Real influence over how the sales function gets built
• Growth into BizDev Lead as the team grows
• 1–2 Udemy/Coursera courses per year after probation
  
  

Compensation

$800–1,500 base depending on experience, plus 4% on every deal you own.

• Paid monthly, as the client pays — not on signed value, so nothing waits on a milestone that moved
• No cap, no threshold, no quota to clear first. It pays from the first payment
• It keeps paying as long as that client keeps buying — not only on their first project
  
  

You own the clients you bring in and the ones you convert, and a client who keeps coming back keeps paying you.

We're not going to quote you a monthly figure — that depends entirely on what you build. What we will do is keep the mechanism transparent: it's a percentage of invoices you can check yourself, every month, against the same numbers we see. Happy to walk through realistic scenarios on the call.

How we hire

• Short call, 30 minutes — mutual fit
• A small paid task, 1–2 hours: we give you one of our ICPs, you build a short prospect list and write the opening message for three of them. We pay as soon as you send it in — not after we decide — and you get feedback either way
• Offer, with a two-month paid probation on full salary and commission
  
  

We agree the goals for month one and month two in writing on your first day. Month one is about things you control — prospects researched, sequences built, outreach sent, CRM kept honest. Month two adds replies and calls booked.

Closing is the job, and it's what we're hiring for. During probation, we look at the pipeline you're building alongside what you close, so progress is visible early rather than only once deals land. Anything you sign counts, and commission starts with your first paid deal.

We'll also be honest that month one sets our baseline as much as it measures you — we're a small company building this function for the first time, and we'd rather agree real numbers together than invent them before we know.

To apply

Send Your CV And Answer This One Question

Tell me about a client you found yourself — no inbound, no brand recognition, no marketing support. How did you find them, and what did you say in the first message?

Applications without an answer to that question won't be reviewed. Short and specific beats long and polished.

What we value

Honesty, including when something isn't working. Ownership. Attention to detail. Long-term cooperation. If your budget or timeline doesn't match reality, we say so early — internally and with clients. We'd expect the same from you.
