The bet we're making
Most of what a media buyer does today - building campaigns, structuring accounts, reading reports, spotting the obvious optimisation - is going to be absorbed by AI. Not in five years. Now.
If that's right, the scarce skill in an agency stops being platform expertise. It becomes two things. Knowing what to point the systems at. And being the person a client actually trusts.
We're hiring for that role. You'd own a portfolio of client businesses. You'd run them through an AI layer we're building. You'd be the human accountable for what comes out. Not an account manager who uses AI. Someone whose job is to get far more done per person than the industry thinks possible.
About Tealbox
We're a paid media agency for B2B SaaS and DTC brands, on Meta, Google and YouTube. Accounts run from ₹5 lakh to ₹5 crore a month in ad spend. Small team, serious about the craft. We're working out what an agency should be once the execution gets automated.
What you'd own
- The portfolio. A book of client businesses, end to end. Measured on whether clients stay and grow and on the portfolio's margin - not on what you shipped.
- The client relationship. You're the person they call. You bring a point of view they didn't ask for. You tell them the truth when it's inconvenient. You say no when no is right.
- Quality control at scale. The hard part. Twenty accounts of AI-generated analysis means twenty accounts of plausible-looking output. Some of it is wrong. All of it is spending someone's money. You're the check.
- The AI layer, applied. We build the systems. You decide how they're used on each account. You spot where they're working and where they're producing confident nonsense. You tell us what to build next.
- A small pod. A couple of people plus the systems. You coach them and set how the pod works.
Who we're looking for
Five to ten years in account management, client servicing, performance marketing or growth. We care more about the shape of your judgment than the label on your CV.
- Business judgment. You see what actually drives a client's business. When you see a number, you have an instinct for whether it's plausible before you check.
- Client trust. You've held senior relationships and kept them. You've challenged a client and been right.
- AI fluency you can show. Not "I use ChatGPT." You've changed how you work. You know where the tools break. You've built something other people now use.
- The scepticism to catch a wrong answer. You don't accept confident output because it's well formatted.
On advertising knowledge, read carefully. You need to read performance data with confidence. You need to hold your own with a media buyer. You need to be credible with a client about why performance moved. That's a real bar and we'll test it. You do not need to build campaigns yourself. We think the buying craft moves into the systems. What doesn't move is judgment about whether the output is any good. If you're a strong media buyer who wants to keep building campaigns, this job will frustrate you.
Compensation
Fixed: ₹20–26 lakh a year, depending on experience. Variable: up to 20% of fixed, paid twice a year. Three targets: client retention in your portfolio, portfolio margin, and accounts under management.
Why this is worth your time
- You'd be early on the thing everyone's about to do. Every agency will claim to be AI-native within two years. You'd have actually done it, with proof.
- Your output is your market value. If you can run twenty-five accounts where a peer runs six, you're worth several times that peer in the market. The variable is built to reflect that. This role makes you more valuable, not more locked in.
- Direct line to the founder building the system you use. Your feedback goes straight to the person building it.
The honest version
- The AI layer runs on a few accounts today. It's being expanded. Some of what you need will be ready when you join. Some won't. You'd shape it from real problems.
- The ramp is real. You start with five to eight accounts, not twenty. Twenty to thirty is where this goes within a year, if the systems deliver. That's the direction, not the starting line.
- Gurgaon-based, hybrid, three days a week in office; days agreed with Varun.
- We work to the outcome. When a client outcome, a launch or a live problem needs attention outside normal hours, we deal with it. That expectation grows with seniority. Three things come with it. Your manager owes you recovery time after a heavy stretch. Anything that causes repeated out-of-hours work gets fixed as a process problem, not absorbed. And nobody here measures commitment by response time at midnight.
- We're mid-repair. We're a founder-led business fixing how it manages people. You'd be joining during, not after.
- Nobody has done this job before. Including us.
How we'll hire
Four rounds, quick, and you'll know where you stand at every step.
- Track record and business judgment: A conversation.
- Assignment: A three-hour take-home exercise.
- Client leadership: Assignment discussion and a live client role-play.
- Values and ways of working: A two-way conversation.
If this sounds like the kind of challenge you’d enjoy, we’d love to hear from you.

About tealbox
Tealbox is a paid media agency working with B2B SaaS and DTC brands. We focus on Meta Ads, Google Ads, and YouTube, with an emphasis on:
- Measurable outcomes
- Structured decision-making
- Clear written communication
We operate as a lean, craft-focused team where depth in core platforms is prioritized over breadth.
About the role
We're looking for a Strategic Account Manager who can think like a business partner and operate with the ownership mindset needed to drive results.
You'll own a portfolio of client accounts, becoming the trusted leader responsible for their long-term success. You'll develop a deep understanding of each client's business, translate their priorities into clear direction, guide key decisions, challenge clients constructively when needed, and ensure consistently high-quality delivery. Through this, you'll build trusted partnerships, create exceptional client experiences, and grow the value of your portfolio over time.
This role isn't built around playbooks. It requires someone who enjoys solving unfamiliar problems, can navigate uncertainty with confidence, and takes ownership of finding the best way forward.
What you'll own
- Business Growth: Understand client businesses, identify growth opportunities, and make commercially sound recommendations that drive measurable business outcomes.
- Client Management: Manage client relationships end-to-end, build trust with stakeholders, ensure proactive communication, create an exceptional client experience, and drive long-term client success and retention.
- Performance Marketing: Manage and optimise ads across platforms, understand campaign performance and metrics, and use insights to improve ad effectiveness and client outcomes.
- Strategic Execution: Translate client goals into action by aligning internal teams, managing stakeholders, and ensuring exceptional execution at every stage.
- Portfolio Growth: Strengthen and grow your portfolio by increasing ad spend under management, expanding client partnerships, and driving long-term retention.
- Pod Leadership: Build a high-performing pod by strengthening the team, improving how work gets done, and contributing to sustainable pod growth.
We're looking for someone who
- Has 4 to 5 years of experience in Account Management, Client Servicing, Performance Marketing, or a similar client-facing role.
- Has strong business acumen and can understand what drives growth for a business.
- Has strong hands-on experience with Google Ads and Meta Ads, including campaign management, optimisation, and performance analysis.
- Brings analytical thinking and can translate insights into clear recommendations and action.
- Is comfortable operating in ambiguity and solving problems without predefined answers.
- Has the curiosity and courage to question existing approaches and find better ways of working.
- Can effectively manage multiple priorities, stakeholders, and competing demands without compromising quality.
A note on what this role is not
This isn't a role where you'll simply manage timelines, coordinate meetings, or pass information between clients and internal teams. We're looking for someone who will understand the business behind every account, take ownership of outcomes, and help clients grow their revenues and help them hit their targets.
Why join Tealbox
- Tealbox is a place where you get as much ownership as you want to take up, with a lot of flexibility. Being a young organisation, the kind of people who thrive here are ones who are proactive, want to grow fast, and are accountable.
- You get to solve business problems directly with clients here. Here, you get to be the big fish of this pond, instead of a small fish in a large ocean. What that gives you is the ability to cause change directly with decision makers on the client’s side.
- We love our freedom, and we respect each other’s freedom. There’s infinite freedom, but that comes with infinite accountability and high trust that you’ll need to build and maintain with your teammates.
- There’s freedom to think as boldly as you’d like, as long as you can also see it through in your actions.
- You’ll work with people who prioritise logic and business first thinking over anything else. It means calling out anything that feels illogical or not aligned with helping clients' businesses grow.
If this sounds like the kind of role where you’d thrive, we’d love to hear from you.
