Experience: 2–5 Years
Schedule: Monday to Friday (5 Days Working)
Employment Type: Full-time
Important Note: Submit your resume, work samples, and a brief cover letter to hello(at)crea8.co.in. Please include your relevant experience and why you believe you would be a good fit for the role.
About Crea8
"Will this product work for me?" sounds like a simple question. The skincare industry has spent decades making sure it isn’t. Most skincare content online is confusing, biased, or brand-driven. We think that's broken.
Crea8 is a skincare personalisation engine that helps D2C brands guide every user to the right products, based on what’s inside them. It combines skin profiling, ingredient-level formulation analysis, and explainable AI to deliver personalised recommendations that build trust, improve conversion, and increase customer lifetime value.
Users like what we’ve built. Brands are only beginning to discover us. Until we get in front of them, Crea8 is a product people like, not a business. Marketing must bridge that gap by showing brands how effective personalisation can improve conversion and engagement.
If you want a startup line for your CV, this is not the place. If you want to build something from scratch next to the founder, keep reading.
The role
Help win Crea8’s first paying skincare brands by generating discovery calls through targeted outreach and persuasive content. Over time, build Crea8’s visibility and trust so more brands reach out to us directly.
What you’ll accomplish
Outbound: Generate discovery calls with skincare brands through email, LinkedIn, and other relevant channels using existing content automation systems.
Inbound: Build Crea8’s visibility and credibility through content, press, and other channels that encourage brands to reach out to us.
Partnerships and Relationships: Build relationships with people at and around target brands, create opportunities for introductions, and turn these connections into conversations.
Build a repeatable marketing system with clear metrics, documented learnings, and evidence of what works.
What a week can look like
You’ll run email campaigns, manage the CRM pipeline, publish content, pitch relevant publications and creators, and test new channels.
You’ll track what generates business opportunities, build industry relationships, and show brands how Crea8 addresses their challenges.
Who we are looking for
Strong communication skills matter. You should be comfortable writing persuasive messages, reaching out to people you don’t know, following up, and finding better ways to get a response.
A willingness to question conventional marketing approaches, figure out what works for us, track results, and adjust when something isn’t working is equally important.
While 1 to 2 years of experience in marketing, growth, or sales is preferred, it isn’t required. If you have less experience, show us something you’ve grown or built on your own.
Pay, equity and employment
Employment:
Full-time from day one, with a three-month probation period.
Stipend and Progression:
₹15,000 per month for the first three months, increasing to ₹20,000 per month from month four, on successful completion of probation. As Crea8 grows, my aim is to improve compensation based on business performance, your contribution, and what the company can sustainably support.
The role includes an equity grant, with the exact grant finalised before the offer letter. This allows you to participate in Crea8’s long-term growth.
Location:
Bengaluru preferred. Remote work available, with one in-person day per week for Bengaluru-based candidates.
How we work
You work with me, not under me.
I value initiative and independent thinking, and I know you don’t like being micromanaged when you like your work.
We care about outcomes, but we also understand that experiments won't always succeed. What matters is that we learn from the results, communicate openly, and make better decisions over time.
Founder’s Note
I started Crea8 because people deserve better information about the skincare products they use. The industry relies heavily on marketing claims, leaving consumers unsure what to put on their skin. For brands, this means high acquisition costs, low conversion, and weak customer lifetime value.
Our consumer product has attracted 20,000+ users, with 14% purchase conversion, average sessions exceeding 20 minutes, and 3.8 products per purchasing user. Now, we’re focused on turning that traction into a sustainable business by bringing our personalisation engine to skincare brands.
I’ve taken the product as far as I can alone. As my first full-time hire, you’ll help win our first brand customers and build a marketing system that eventually brings brands to us.
I’m looking for someone who wants to do more than execute tasks. You’ll have the freedom to challenge my thinking, experiment with new approaches, and build systems we can keep improving.
Your work will directly shape how Crea8 grows.
We’re still pre-revenue, which means there’s plenty to build and learn. If you’re ambitious about your own growth and want to take ownership of something from the early stages, I’d like to hear from you.
Important Note: Submit your resume, work samples, and a brief cover letter to hello(at)crea8.co.in. Please include your relevant experience and why you believe you would be a good fit for the role.
Product Marketing Manager — ADDA
Location: Bengaluru / Remote-friendly, must be living in Apartment Complex
Read this First: Is this role right for you?
This role is about marketing to our existing customers, not winning new ones.
As our Product Marketer, you'll help customers:
- See the value. Understand which of their everyday problems each ADDA feature solves.
- Use it well. Know exactly how to adopt and get the most out of those features.
Your north-star metric is customer retention. You succeed when customers use more of ADDA, get more value from it, and stay with us.
This role is not about acquisition. If most of your experience is in performance marketing, growth marketing, SEO, paid campaigns, or converting prospects into paying users, this role won't be the right fit. We'd rather tell you that now than waste your time.
Responsibilities
- Product marketing inside and outside the product. Inside, that means in-product nudges, pop-ups, tooltips, walkthrough videos, and notifications. Outside, it means social posts, blogs, website pages, emails, and WhatsApp communication. Both are yours, end to end.
- Launching new releases. Tell customers what's new and persuade them to start using it.
- Driving ongoing adoption. Run continuous programs such as Feature of the Month, customer success stories, feature highlights, and social content, so features get discovered, adopted, and used regularly.
- Keeping every asset current. Update the website, decks, USP docs, pricing, screenshots, and case studies as the product evolves.
- Shaping features from the start. Work with Product Managers at the PRD/FS stage to agree on the pain points, benefits, product marketing plan, and discoverability of each feature.
What we're looking for
- 4–6 years in product marketing at a B2B SaaS product company
- Evidence of owning a launch end to end: positioning through to adoption, not just producing the assets someone else specified
- Strong creative skill across formats — blogs, product pages, emails, in-product copy, setup guides, social posts and other shareables, videos
- Comfort with numbers: you can pull product usage data, read a funnel, and say honestly whether something worked
- The discipline to run a content calendar.
- Hands-on experience on visuals and short videos (Canva, editing, or strong AI-tool leverage)
Why ADDA?
- ADDA is a Make in India, profitable and 17 years old globally trusted SaaS product — 25,000+ communities, 7.5M+ residents, 10+ countries.
- You sit between Product and Marketing with real ownership and a direct line to leadership
- Remote-friendly. Competitive salary

Our AI wearables capture in-store sales conversations and turn them into coaching, conversion insights and leadership analytics for high-value retail brands. We're founded by serial entrepreneurs from IIT and IIM with 25+ years in B2B tech, and we're now taking Jinn to the US.

You'll be the first person dedicated to building Jinn's presence primarily with US buyers.

• Content (about 40%)
– Write 3–4 LinkedIn posts a week for the founders and the company page, in their voice

About CT Nova
CT Nova is an enterprise learning platform that runs inside our customers’ own cloud. Rather than asking organisations to hand their learner data to someone else’s SaaS, we deploy the entire platform as an Azure Managed Application into the customer’s own Azure tenant — data never leaves their environment, and billing runs through the Azure Marketplace on metered usage.
The product grew out of migrations off Microsoft’s Community Training platform, so our DNA is large-scale, often public-interest training: government skilling programmes, NGO field workforces, enterprise frontline teams. We work with organisations across several regions, some running training at a scale of hundreds of thousands of learners.
The role
· Title: Founder’s Office — Growth
· Reports to: The founders, directly
· Location: Bengaluru preferred; remote considered for the right person. Periodic travel for client meetings.
· Compensation: Competitive fixed salary, performance-linked variable, and ESOPs.
You will be our first dedicated growth hire, and that word — first — is most of the job. There is no playbook to inherit, no readymade pipeline handed over, and no team beneath you yet.
Almost every customer we have today reached us through Founder network & relationship rather than through a sales motion. That base is real, sticky and expandable. It is also exactly why the next phase has to look different. Your job is to build a new muscle : a repeatable way of finding, winning and growing accounts on our own terms.
This is a Founder’s Office role in the real sense. You will spend time in customer conversations, time in spreadsheets, and time in the room where decisions actually get made. The founders are in these conversations alongside you — this is neither a role where you are sent out alone with a bag and a number, nor one where you produce strategy at a safe distance from the customer.
What you’ll own
· Customer conversations: Run a standing rhythm of structured conversations across our existing base — not support check-ins, but real discovery into what each organisation is trying to achieve, where the platform gets in their way, and what would justify them expanding.
· Growth opportunities: Turn those conversations into a ranked, evidence-backed view of where the next tranche of revenue comes from — which accounts can grow, what unlocks each one, which segments deserve concentration, and what we should decline.
· Expansion and retention: Own the commercial side of the existing base — expansion, renewals, pricing conversations, and account plans that make growth deliberate rather than reactive.
· The GTM pipeline: Work with marketing to stand up an acquisition engine from close to zero — a defined ICP, positioning and messaging that survives contact with a buyer, an outbound motion, and enough tracking to tell whether any of it is working.
· Partner motion: Make the Microsoft relationship a deliberate channel rather than an accident of history — Marketplace listing, co-sell readiness, and working relationships with regional systems integrators.
· Product feedback loop: Sit between customers and engineering. A meaningful share of our expansion revenue is gated by product work — reliability at scale, onboarding, SSO, reporting — so translating commercial urgency into a credible roadmap argument is part of the role, not a side effect of it.
What the first year looks like
· First 90 days: You have spoken to every meaningful customer and formed your own view of the base. You have written a growth thesis with a ranked opportunity list, and agreed with the founders on where to concentrate.
· By six months: A working pipeline with self-sourced opportunities in it. Expansion plans live on the top accounts. Positioning and collateral a newcomer could sell from.
· By twelve months: Revenue growth you can attribute to specific decisions, measurably less dependence on any single account or channel, and a motion documented well enough that the next two hires can run it.
What we’re looking for
Must-haves
· Commercial ownership: 3–6 years in a role where you carried commercial responsibility for B2B outcomes — GTM at a SaaS or PaaS company, consulting, or an early-stage operating role. Titles matter less to us than evidence that you have owned something end to end.
· Customer presence: Comfort in front of customers, including technical buyers, and the ability to hold your own on cloud deployment, data residency and total cost of ownership. You do not need to be an engineer; you do need to be unafraid of technical detail.
· Structured thinking and clear writing: Much of this job is turning messy conversations into a position other people can act on. We will ask to see a written sample.
· Comfort with low support: There is no CRM hygiene team, no SDR, and no marketing department waiting on your brief. What exists is what you build.
Good to have
· Exposure to Microsoft’s co-sell ecosystem, Azure Marketplace transactions, or partner-led motions.
· Experience selling into government, development-sector or education buyers, where cycles are long and procurement is a discipline of its own.
· Familiarity with LMS/LXP or workforce-development products.
· Time spent at a company under 30 people.
Who this role isn’t for
We would rather be direct now than waste your time later.
· If you want a defined territory, an inherited pipeline and a quota to work against, this will frustrate you.
· If you want a purely strategic seat — market maps and decks, no customer calls — this is not that either.
· Our base is small and concentrated, the product still has scaling work ahead of it, and some of what you propose will be constrained by engineering capacity. Working inside that tension is the job, not an obstacle to it.
How to apply
Our process: an intro call with a founder, then a written exercise based on a real CT Nova growth problem and a discussion of your response, then a conversation with the founding team, then references. We aim to close within three weeks.
