Area Sales Manager - DSA Channel Execution - Noida

Overview

This position in Aditya Birla Capital's housing finance division focuses on managing and enhancing sales operations through the Direct Sales Agent (DSA) network within an assigned branch area. The goal is to meet branch targets by coordinating effectively with DSA partners and end customers, ensuring compliance and operational efficiency alongside teams like Risk, Operations, and Sales Governance. This role also includes promoting cross-selling of related financial products offered by Aditya Birla Housing Finance Limited and the larger Aditya Birla Capital group.

Organizational Background

Aditya Birla Money Insurance Advisor Services Ltd, the lending arm of Aditya Birla Capital, specializes in a wide range of lending and financial services including markets, trade finance, real estate, mortgages, unsecured and digital lending, and wealth management. Recognized as one of India’s top 5 NBFCs, the company boasts a rapidly expanding balance sheet expected to exceed ₹60,000 crore. Its product offerings enjoy balanced focus across six business verticals, yielding consistent double-digit growth and emphasizing sustained profitability.

Job Context and Challenges

The role centers on personal loans tailored for short and medium-term funding needs of individuals and small businesses through unsecured products. Given the retail-intensive nature of the portfolio, characterized by high volume and smaller loan sizes with significant profit margins, stringent risk management and portfolio monitoring are essential. The area sales manager must understand local market nuances, customer preferences, and competitive dynamics to effectively drive loan disbursements while ensuring high portfolio quality.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement detailed sales plans aligned with branch objectives, regularly reviewing market conditions and competitor strategies to optimize DSA channel performance.
• Maintain and enhance DSA network effectiveness, ensuring optimal operational efficiency and strong relationships to meet growth targets.
• Generate and analyze MIS reports on disbursements, profitability, DSA activity, NPAs, and market expansion, using data insights to guide and improve partner performance.
• Facilitate customer acquisition by identifying local growth opportunities, aligning product USPs with DSA partners, and actively managing lead closure and customer satisfaction.
• Ensure transparent and timely communication with DSAs and prospects regarding transaction statuses, driving adherence to compliance and operational protocols.
• Deploy incentive schemes to boost sales and profitability while balancing cost management.
• Oversee operational processes across customer lifecycle stages—sourcing, approval, servicing, and collections—working collaboratively with internal stakeholders to enhance process efficiencies, reduce turnaround times, and implement best practices.
