Bozzo Cabs | Hyderabad | Founding Team | Equity Only


Bozzo Cabs is building a new urban mobility platform, starting with Hyderabad.

We're looking for a GTM & Growth Manager to take ownership of how we enter the market, acquire customers and build sustainable growth.

This is a hands-on founding-team role—not a traditional marketing position. You'll work across GTM, customer acquisition, pricing, partnerships, competitor analysis and business strategy.


What you'll work on

• Build and execute Bozzo's Hyderabad GTM strategy.

• Identify high-potential customer segments, locations and growth opportunities.

• Build acquisition strategies across digital, offline, community and partnership channels.

• Experiment with social media, influencers, referrals, WhatsApp, campuses, offices, apartments and local communities.

• Build referral and partnership-led growth loops.

• Track the customer funnel from Awareness → Install → First Ride → Repeat Ride → Referral.

• Analyze CAC, conversion, retention, repeat rides and campaign ROI.

• Study competitors such as Uber, Rapido and Ola, including pricing, offers and positioning.

• Help shape Bozzo's pricing and promotional strategy.

• Identify market gaps and opportunities across Hyderabad.

• Continuously test, measure and improve growth initiatives.


What we're looking for

• 4–6 years of experience in one or more of:

• Growth / Customer Acquisition

• GTM / Business Strategy

• Digital Marketing

• Consumer Internet

• Mobility / Ride-hailing

• Marketplace / D2C / E-commerce

• Startup environments


You should be:

• Highly entrepreneurial and execution-oriented

• Comfortable with numbers, CAC, conversion, retention and ROI

• Strong at market and competitor analysis

• Creative in developing new customer-growth ideas

• Comfortable with both online and offline growth

• Strong in communication, partnerships and negotiation

• Familiar with the Hyderabad market

• Comfortable working with ambiguity, limited resources and high ownership


What makes this role different

We're not looking for someone who only manages social media, runs ads or prepares reports.

We're looking for someone who can connect:

Market → Customer → Pricing → Acquisition → First Ride → Repeat Ride → Referral → Growth

You'll have the freedom to identify opportunities, propose experiments and take them from idea → execution → measurement → scale.


Founding-Team Opportunity

This is an equity-only founding-team opportunity.

You'll work closely with the founders and have direct ownership over one of the most important challenges for an early-stage mobility company:

How do we acquire customers, create repeat usage and build a scalable growth engine?

If you enjoy building from zero, solving ambiguous problems and seeing your work directly impact a startup, we'd love to hear from you.


Location: Hyderabad

Experience: 4–6 years

Compensation: Equity Only

CraftMyPlate is a Hyderabad-based platform for micro-events: house parties, birthdays, office celebrations, and small gatherings. One thing hasn't changed since day one. Every order comes from someone making a specific, personal decision: this occasion, this many people, this budget, this date. We win by understanding that decision better than anyone else does.


We are now investing in the systems (data, growth, and eventually AI-driven automation) that let us make that same quality of decision at scale, without needing to grow headcount just to keep up. That investment is partly backed by funding we recently brought in, but the funding is not the story. It simply means we can now hire someone senior enough to own this problem properly, instead of solving it in pieces.


If you join now, you are not joining a company that has already figured everything out and just needs someone to run the machine. You are joining at the point where the machine is still being designed. What you build in the next year will still be the foundation two years from now.


About the Role

We are hiring a Growth Lead to own two things at once: how many people know about us, and how much revenue that awareness turns into. Not one or the other. Both, as a single connected number.

Here is what makes this role different from most growth roles you have seen: the infrastructure is already built. Tracking, attribution, and engagement systems are already in place and working. Our content and performance teams already execute well within the current playbook. You are not being hired to set any of that up. You are being hired to direct it and extract return from it.


That means your job is judgment, not motion. You decide which channels get more budget and which get cut. You decide what message goes to which segment. You decide what "working" means, and you prove it with numbers, not activity. The team executes. You are accountable for the return.


We need someone who has done this before, at a company where marketing spend had to answer to revenue, not just to reach. Someone who can point to a previous role and say plainly: this is what we spent, this is what we made back, and this is what I specifically changed to move that number.


What "Good" Looks Like (Market Standard)

This is not a vague "be strategic" ask. In most growth-stage consumer companies, a Growth Lead's performance is judged against a small set of hard numbers. We expect the same here:

  • Return on ad spend (ROAS) or marketing efficiency ratio (MER) improving quarter over quarter across paid channels, not just held flat
  • CAC to LTV ratio healthy enough to support scaling spend, not just acquiring volume (a commonly cited industry bar is a ratio meaningfully above 1:3, CAC to LTV)
  • CAC payback period short enough that growth doesn't starve cash flow
  • Blended revenue attributable to marketing-led channels, tracked and defended, not assumed
  • A steady pace of new channel or approach tests per quarter, with a clear kill or scale decision made on each one, not experiments left to run forever without a verdict

If these terms are unfamiliar to you or you have never been held to them, this is probably not the right role yet. If you already think in these terms by habit, this role gives you the platform to prove it at a larger scale.

What You'll Own

  • Awareness and reach across channels: Grow how many of the right people know about us, across paid, organic, and content channels, without confusing reach for revenue
  • Revenue and ROI: Own the return on every rupee spent across channels. You inherit working tracking systems (CleverTap, AppsFlyer, Mixpanel); your job is to use them to make better spend decisions, not to build or maintain them
  • Segmentation strategy: Build and keep refining how we segment customers by occasion type, guest count, budget band, and lead time to event. Turn that into distinct messaging and targeting for each segment, not one-size-fits-all campaigns
  • Growth and channel scaling: Identify, test, and scale marketing channels and approaches beyond what we currently run, with a clear view of what each one returns
  • Team direction: Directly lead our content and performance marketing team. You set the direction and the bar. They execute against it. You are not doing their job for them, and you are not letting them run without direction either
  • Reporting: Give the founders and CMO clear, ROI-level visibility. What is working, what isn't, what you are cutting, and what you are doubling down on, and why


Required Skills & Background

  • A proven, quantifiable track record of improving marketing ROI at a previous company, across more than one channel, not just optimizing a single ad account. Able to state clearly what the return was before, what it became, and what they specifically did to move it.
  • 5 to 8 years in marketing, with real time spent owning revenue and channel-level ROI, not just campaign execution
  • Experience running and defending a multi-channel budget: knowing when to shift spend between awareness and performance channels based on what the numbers say
  • Strong quantitative fluency. Comfortable reading cohort, retention, and attribution data (from tools like CleverTap, AppsFlyer, and Mixpanel) and turning it into a spend or strategy decision, without needing to build the pipelines themselves
  • Demonstrated experience building segmentation-led marketing strategy. Able to show, concretely, how they tailored messaging to distinct customer segments in a past role
  • Experience managing a team (content and/or performance). This role leads people, not just plans
  • Tier-1 educational background (top B-school, or a top engineering institute with demonstrated growth ownership). Exceptions made for candidates with a clearly exceptional track record
  • Consumer internet, D2C, e-commerce, or marketplace background strongly preferred. Extra credit for a business with real customer-segment diversity, not a single-SKU product


Good to Have

  • Experience marketing a business where the customer's decision changes a lot by occasion, timing, or budget (events, travel, gifting, weddings)
  • Experience balancing brand/awareness spend against direct-response spend, and defending that split with numbers
  • Prior experience at an early-stage startup where they built the growth function rather than inheriting one
  • Hands-on comfort reviewing ad creative and content briefs, even if they are not writing them personally


What We Offer

  • Direct ownership of the marketing function, reporting to the founders and CMO
  • Working infrastructure from day one: tracking, attribution, and engagement systems are already built, so you spend your time on strategy and ROI, not setup
  • Competitive pay, with ESOP and ownership options so your upside grows with the company's
  • A team that already executes well. Your job is to point it in the right direction, not build it from zero
  • Real accountability: revenue and ROI, not vanity metrics
  • Fast growth and more scope as the company scales

Help new products find their first customers in the US, and teach our systems how you do it.


Daemon Ventures is a US technology company that builds and runs internet businesses with a very small team and heavy use of AI. We are looking for a growth lead who has personally taken products from zero to their first paying customers in the US market.


What you'll do

- Review how each new business goes to market: the plan, the actual ads, landing pages, emails and sign-up flow, and the numbers that come back. Say clearly what to change, and why.

- Diagnose. When a number is bad, work out whether the problem is the audience, the offer, the page or the channel, and what to try next.

- Turn what works into repeatable playbooks, so every future launch starts from what the last one learned.

- Bring in specialists (search, outbound, paid social, communities, marketplaces) when a problem needs deep craft, and judge their work.


Who you are

- Senior and hands-on. 6–10 years in growth or marketing, at least 3 of them personally acquiring US customers for a software product, an app or an online business. You ran the channels yourself, not only through agencies or a team.

- Taken a product from near zero to real US traction, with numbers you can show.

- A diagnostician. You can read a funnel and find the leak, and you think in experiments. You read results honestly, including when the answer is "this channel doesn't work for this product."

- A clear writer. You explain your reasoning so that others can act on it.

- Energized by working alongside AI. Most execution here is automated; your judgment is what makes it better.


Details

- Full-time and remote within India, engaged as an independent contractor.

- ₹45–55 LPA based on experience, plus equity.

- Process:

  1. A short application with a 20-minute exercise.
  2. A conversation with the founder.
  3. A second conversation.


To apply: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdB-KJIUnkbNbXWCdqJmTEFGbHglT5_2wqIcsVPN_QKaQTG1A/viewform


The application includes the exercise. Please don't send a CV alone.

About Starbond


Starbond is a growing direct-to-consumer brand focused on delivering high-quality products and an excellent customer experience. We are looking for a hands-on Marketing Manager who can turn data, customer insights, and strong execution into profitable growth.


About the Role

The Marketing Manager will own Starbond’s direct-to-consumer growth engine across paid acquisition, retention, lifecycle marketing, content, SEO, answer engine optimization (AEO), social media, conversion optimization, and agency performance. This role requires a strong command of unit economics—including customer lifetime value (LTV), customer acquisition cost (CAC), CAC payback period, gross margin, and contribution margin—and the ability to convert these metrics into sound growth decisions.

You will directly manage marketing agencies across Meta, Google, email, and AEO while leading the internal Marketing team, setting clear performance standards, and giving the CEO timely visibility into results, risks, and recommended actions.


Key Responsibilities


DTC Growth and Customer Acquisition

  • Develop and lead the DTC acquisition strategy across Meta Ads, Google Ads, Shopify, email, SEO, social media, Amazon alignment, and other relevant channels.
  • Manage marketing for profitable growth—not revenue or ROAS alone—by incorporating product margin, contribution margin, retention, and customer quality into decisions.
  • Establish acceptable CAC thresholds by product, customer segment, campaign, and channel, and recommend when to scale, restructure, reduce, or discontinue investment.
  • Align advertising, creative, landing pages, offers, product positioning, inventory availability, and operational readiness.

LTV, Retention, and Lifecycle Marketing

  • Maintain a clear and consistent LTV methodology using customer revenue, purchase frequency, retention, gross margin or contribution margin, and cohort data.
  • Analyze LTV and retention by acquisition source, product, cohort, and customer segment, and use the findings to improve channel and offer decisions.
  • Lead strategies that improve repeat purchase rate, purchase frequency, average order value, cross-sell, replenishment, retention, and win-back performance.
  • Oversee email and lifecycle marketing quality, segmentation, deliverability, revenue contribution, and customer communication accuracy.

Paid Advertising and Conversion

  • Oversee paid media strategy, budget pacing, campaign structure, audience strategy, creative testing, attribution, and landing-page performance.
  • Establish clear testing, scaling, optimization, and stop-loss rules, and require decisions to be supported by sufficient data and financial context.
  • Review performance at the channel, campaign, audience, creative, product, and cohort levels.
  • Partner with the Web Developer on Shopify priorities, site performance, conversion rate optimization, tracking, and quality assurance.

Agency and Vendor Management

  • Directly manage marketing agencies across Meta, Google, email, and AEO, including scopes of work, deliverables, timelines, communication standards, SLAs, KPIs, reporting, ownership, and escalation procedures.
  • Use agency scorecards and recurring performance reviews to track KPI attainment, SLA compliance, output quality, timeliness, efficiency, and business results.
  • Require root-cause analysis and time-bound corrective action plans for missed targets, SLA breaches, quality issues, reporting gaps, or inefficient spend.
  • Independently validate agency recommendations and recommend contract expansion, renegotiation, reduction, replacement, or termination when appropriate.
  • Ensure Starbond retains access to and ownership of advertising accounts, data, dashboards, creative files, documentation, and intellectual property.

Content, Creative, and Brand

  • Maintain an active content and creative pipeline supported by clear briefs, owners, deadlines, QA standards, and success metrics.
  • Ensure reliable content-production support is available when external resources are required.
  • Create a structured process for testing creative concepts, hooks, formats, messages, offers, and calls to action.
  • Protect product positioning and perceived value by avoiding excessive reliance on discounting and ensuring marketing claims are accurate and supportable.
  • Ensure approved assets are properly named, organized, and stored in company-owned systems.

Team Leadership, Process, and Reporting

  • Lead the internal Marketing team by setting clear responsibilities, deadlines, quality standards, KPIs, communication expectations, and individual performance targets.
  • Conduct regular coaching, one-on-ones, performance reviews, and accountability conversations; identify skill gaps and coordinate development or corrective action with HR.
  • Make timely recommendations regarding training, role clarity, workload changes, reassignment, or other performance actions when standards are not met.
  • Create and maintain marketing processes, approval flows, reporting definitions, campaign documentation, and quality-control systems.
  • Maintain a weekly marketing scorecard that distinguishes leading and lagging indicators and explains what changed, why it changed, and what action is required.
  • Proactively escalate material risks and present concise, financially grounded recommendations to the CEO.

What Success Looks Like

  • Marketing data, forecasts, campaign reports, creative briefs, and recommendations are accurate, validated, and financially grounded.

Role Overview 

We are looking for a highly analytical and operational Chief of Staff to serve as the right-hand strategic partner to our founders and leadership team. This role is a force multiplier—you will drive executive execution, improve high-level decision-making, and lead strategic initiatives across the company. This requires strong analytical thinking, AI fluency, and the operational rigor to turn visionary ideas into measurable results.

  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Own the execution of high-impact cross-functional initiatives across Product, Growth, Support, and Operations.
  • Business Intelligence: Build dashboards, trackers, and comprehensive reports to empower data-backed leadership decision-making.
  • AI & Operational Excellence: Leverage AI tools (ChatGPT, automation, analytics) to aggressively optimize workflows and scale internal productivity.
  • Operating Rhythm: Drive the cadence of leadership by preparing strategic meeting agendas, synthesizing notes, and ensuring relentless closure on action items.
  • Market & Product Strategy: Conduct deep-dive market, competitor, and product research within the Shopify and SaaS ecosystem to inform strategic direction.
  • Stakeholder Management: Drive seamless communication and alignment between internal teams and external partners.
  • Trusted Advisor: Maintain strict confidentiality and high ownership while handling ambiguous, complex business challenges.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience as a Chief of Staff, Strategy Consultant, or in a similar strategic role.
  • Strong data-driven mindset with proven experience using Excel/Google Sheets, dashboards, and reporting tools.
  • High proficiency with AI tools like ChatGPT, Notion AI, automation workflows, and prompt-based productivity.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills paired with strong stakeholder management abilities.
  • Proven ability to operate in a fast-paced startup environment, taking high ownership of outcomes.
  • Elite organizational skills, sharp attention to detail, and the ability to multitask seamlessly across competing priorities.
  • Experience in ecommerce, SaaS, the Shopify ecosystem, or tech startups is a strong advantage.
  • Comfortable working directly with founders and independently solving ambiguous, unstructured problems.


What We Offer

  • Direct exposure to startup leadership and strategic decision-making.
