About

What AUGMATICS does

AUGMATICS is a data and analytics consultancy that helps businesses turn financial and operational data into decisions. We work at the intersection of business, finance, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and decision science — building business intelligence, financial analytics, reporting, forecasting, and data visualization solutions for organizations that need to see their business more clearly.

We are not in the business of selling dashboards. We help leadership teams understand what's actually happening inside their business, where the risk and opportunity sit, and what evidence-based decisions look like. The product is clarity. The dashboard is just where it lives.

The role

Who we're looking for

Ambitious, intelligent, commercially minded people who can identify potential clients, open conversations with decision-makers, diagnose real business problems, and connect them to an analytical solution — then close it.

You should be comfortable selling B2B professional services: business intelligence, data analytics, financial analysis, reporting, automation, and forecasting. A technical background is not required. What we're hiring for is judgment — the ability to understand a business problem, communicate intelligently about it, build trust, and sell value. Experience in finance, accounting, analytics, technology, or consulting is an advantage, not a prerequisite.

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the confidence to speak to owners, executives, and finance professionals
  • A natural instinct to build relationships rather than push a product
  • Persuasion, negotiation, and presentation skill under real commercial pressure
  • Commercial awareness — a working sense of how businesses make and lose money
  • The research discipline to identify the right companies and the right decision-makers before reaching out
  • Consistency prospecting through LinkedIn, email, calls, networking, and referrals
  • The ability to translate analytical concepts into plain business language
  • A results orientation and comfort working toward measurable targets

A particularly strong candidate brings background in:

Mandate

What you'll own

You'll run the full front half of the sales process — from first research to signed client — working alongside our consulting team on solution design.

  • Research and identify potential clients; build and maintain a qualified pipeline
  • Contact business owners and senior decision-makers directly
  • Introduce AUGMATICS and diagnose the prospect's business and data challenges
  • Identify where analytics or BI can create measurable value
  • Schedule discovery meetings and solution presentations
  • Work with the consulting team to shape the right solution
  • Follow up, negotiate, and convert qualified opportunities into clients
  • Keep accurate records of prospects, conversations, and outcomes
  • Grow the relationship after the sale and surface opportunities for further work
Approach

The salesperson we want

Consultative, not transactional. Not someone who sends mass messages or pushes services on people who haven't asked. Someone who does the homework first.

“I understand your business. Let me understand where your current challenges are, and let's determine whether data and analytics can actually help you solve them.”

— the opening line we want you to be able to say and mean

Curious enough to investigate a prospect before contacting them. Intelligent enough to understand the problem underneath the problem. Persuasive enough to make the case for solving it.

The personality that tends to succeed here:

You should be able to hear “no,” learn from it, and go back out the next day without losing your edge or your professionalism.

Structure

Where this role sits

As the team grows, we're structuring client acquisition as a pipeline rather than a pool of generalist agents — each stage owned with depth, handed off deliberately to the next.

01

Business Development

Market and account strategy — deciding who AUGMATICS should be talking to.

02

Lead Generation

Research, outreach, and qualification — filling the pipeline with the right prospects.

03

Client Acquisition

Discovery, solution framing, negotiation, and close.

04

Account Management

Relationship growth and follow-on opportunities post-sale.

Fit check

Who should not apply

  • You're uncomfortable speaking directly to businesses or decision-makers
  • You expect clients to come to you without prospecting
  • You're unwilling to learn about data, analytics, finance, and business problems
  • You'd rather sell a product than understand a customer's need
  • You're uncomfortable working against measurable targets
  • You struggle to follow up with discipline
Why here

Why join AUGMATICS

This is a chance to help build the client-acquisition engine of a growing analytics and business-intelligence consultancy from close to the ground floor — real B2B technology and professional-services sales experience, not a script and a call list.

You'll learn how to sell solutions in data, analytics, finance, and AI while working with real businesses and real decision-makers. It's a strong foundation for a career in sales, consulting, technology, finance, business development, or eventually your own venture.
