Founding Growth Associate (Growth • GTM • Business Operations)

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.

3. A paid one-to-two-week project on a real business.

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 Worql

Worql is a technology startup building software that helps IT services companies manage client engagements, track project changes, verify delivery, and maintain commercial accountability.

We work with founders and leadership teams at software development agencies and IT services firms, helping them manage client relationships and delivery operations more efficiently.

About the Role

We're looking for a motivated, resourceful Founder’s Office Associate to work directly with Worql's founder across business development, growth, research, and daily operations.

This is a hands-on role with significant responsibility from day one. Your primary focus will be helping Worql acquire new customers by identifying promising companies, engaging decision-makers, building relationships, and generating qualified sales opportunities.

Beyond sales, you'll contribute to marketing, market research, product feedback, and operational projects that support the company's growth.

We're looking for someone who takes initiative, communicates effectively, and can turn an assignment into a finished result without constant supervision.

Key Responsibilities

Business Development & Sales

• Identify and research potential customers, particularly founders and executives of software development and IT services companies.
• Initiate personalized conversations through LinkedIn and email.
• Manage outreach campaigns, follow-ups, and prospect relationships.
• Qualify potential customers and schedule meetings with the founder.
• Maintain accurate records of prospects, conversations, and sales opportunities.

Growth & Marketing

• Research industry trends, competitors, and potential market opportunities.
• Help develop LinkedIn content, outreach messaging, and marketing initiatives.
• Identify new channels and strategies for reaching prospective customers.
• Support experiments designed to improve customer acquisition.

Founder’s Office & Operations

• Prepare company and prospect research ahead of important meetings.
• Assist with business documentation, spreadsheets, scheduling, and follow-ups.
• Test Worql's platform and provide structured feedback on the customer experience.
• Coordinate projects and complete assignments across different business functions.
• Provide concise daily updates on completed work, priorities, and challenges.

Who We're Looking For

• Strong written and spoken English communication skills.
• Confidence communicating professionally with business owners and senior executives.
• Genuine interest in startups, entrepreneurship, technology, and B2B sales.
• Strong research, organizational, and problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to work independently, manage priorities, and take ownership of responsibilities.
• Comfortable using LinkedIn, spreadsheets, and modern productivity tools.
• Willingness to learn quickly, experiment, and adapt in a fast-moving startup environment.
• Previous experience in business development, sales, marketing, or startup operations.
• Familiarity with LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, or CRM tools.
• Understanding of how software development agencies and IT services businesses operate.

Previous startup experience is not mandatory. Relevant internships, freelance projects, college initiatives, or independent work are equally valuable.

Compensation & Growth

• Fixed stipend: ₹22,000 per month.
• Sales meeting incentive: ₹500 for every qualified sales meeting booked and completed.
• Customer acquisition incentive: ₹2,500 for every paid customer engagement closed.
• Performance incentives: Uncapped.
• Career opportunity: High-performing candidates may receive an offer for a permanent full-time position after the initial three-month period.

You'll work directly with the founder, gain exposure to how an early-stage technology business operates, and have opportunities to take on greater responsibility as the company grows.

Submit your CV along with a short response (maximum 150 words) to the following question:

A client keeps asking a software development company for small additional features during a project. What problems might this create for the company's founder, and how would you initiate a conversation with that founder about the issue?

We're interested in how you think, communicate, and approach real business problems, not just your qualifications.

Growth Marketing Manager — Enterprise

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are an enterprise AI company selling to large, regulated businesses with long sales cycles and multi-person buying committees. Marketing here runs on named accounts rather than broad campaigns, and every claim we make carries a number behind it.

This role owns the execution engine underneath that: demand generation, the marketing technology stack, performance marketing, search and answer-engine visibility, developer and customer marketing, and the reporting that proves any of it worked. It is a hands-on role in a small team — you build these systems yourself.

WHAT YOU WILL DO?

• Demand generation inside account plays. Build and ship the landing pages, sequences, personalised outreach and targeted social that account-based plays require, against a single list shared with sales.
• Own the martech stack end to end. CMS and hosting, GA4 and Tag Manager, CRM and marketing automation, attribution, SEO tooling and dashboards — selection, configuration, integration, access and cost.
• Website operations and technical SEO. Site and landing page builds, architecture, structured data, redirects, page speed, indexation.
• SEO and AEO. Own organic visibility, and build the tracking for how often we appear in AI-generated answers to buyer questions. This part has no established playbook.
• Performance marketing. Paid social to named buying-committee roles, retargeting and paid search — small budgets, tight tests, honest reporting.
• Developer marketing. Run the developer-facing surface with engineering — documentation and sandbox operations, sample repositories, technical content programming, developer events and hackathon presence, and adoption measurement.
• Customer marketing. Own the reference programme with sales — case studies, verified reviews on marketplaces andreview platforms, logo permissions, advocacy and reference calls.
• Events and community. Executive dinners, conferences, sponsorships and an invitation-only practitioner circle — logistics, follow-up and attributed pipeline.
• Reporting. One dashboard, one source of truth, reported weekly on pipeline influenced and accounts moved rather than lead volume.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR?

• 3–4 years in growth marketing, demand generation or marketing operations. Early-stage startup experience strongly preferred someone who has built a function, not inherited one that already ran.
• Hands-on across a modern martech stack — you have configured analytics and tag management, built automation workflows and shipped CMS pages yourself. We care that you have wired tools together, not which brands you used.
• Real technical SEO ability — audits, structured data, internal linking, redirect strategy, and confident use of crawl and keyword tools.
• Performance marketing you ran personally, with a view on what small B2B budgets can and cannot buy.
• Strong with spreadsheets, dashboards and light no-code automation. SQL is a bonus, not a filter.
• Comfortable with technical audiences and with customers — you can brief engineers on developer content, and ask a live customer for a case study or a review without flinching.
• Clear written English, and the judgement to start from context rather than a brief.
• Willing to be measured on pipeline influenced.

BONUS POINTS

• B2B enterprise or regulated-industry experience
• Account-based marketing
• Developer marketing or technical community work
• An informed opinion on how large language models surface brands
• Enough HTML and CSS to unblock yourself
• Exposure to both Indian and international markets.
• Apply with a page you shipped end to end, a dashboard you built, and one campaign that did not work and what you changed because of it.

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.

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

Role: GTM & Growth Manager

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.

About the job

Founding Business Development Executive — US Market | Voice AI SaaS

Company: Northmann Groupe

Product: Paladin Voice/Chat AI Platform

Location: India — Remote / Work From Home

Employment: Full-time

Experience: 2–4+ years in B2B SaaS outbound sales

Market: Primarily United States; Canada, UK and Australia secondary

Compensation: ₹6–9 LPA + performance incentives

OTE: Up to approximately ₹10–12 LPA for strong performers

About Paladin

Paladin is a production-focused Voice AI SaaS platform built by Northmann Groupe.

Businesses and agencies use Paladin for inbound/outbound voice workflows, lead qualification, customer communication, appointments, follow-ups, campaigns and CRM-connected operations.

It supports configurable AI providers, multiple telephony providers, workflow orchestration, APIs, integrations, knowledge bases, QA and tracing.

Paladin already has real users, businesses and agencies. We are now building a focused commercial engine for high-value international customers.

The Role

We are looking for a highly driven Founding Business Development Executive who can build qualified international sales pipeline for Paladin from the ground up.

This is not a social media marketing role. Success is not measured by connection requests, scraped leads or automated message volume.

Your job is to find businesses and agencies with a genuine commercial need for Voice AI, start meaningful conversations with the right decision-makers, qualify them properly, move them into sales discussions and convert them into paying Paladin customers.

You will work closely with GTM and product/engineering and have significant ownership over Paladin's outbound sales motion.

What You’ll Do

Prospecting, Pipeline & Qualification

• Identify high-quality target companies and decision-makers in the US and other developed markets.

• Build carefully researched account and prospect lists based on Paladin's ICP.

• Use LinkedIn as a primary outbound channel to identify, engage and develop relationships with relevant prospects.

• Run personalized outbound conversations, not mass generic outreach.

• Conduct disciplined follow-ups throughout the sales cycle.

• Identify buying signals, business pain and Voice AI use cases.

• Qualify for existing customers/leads/call volume, real pain, commercial use case, urgency, ability to pay and meaningful potential usage.

We are deliberately not optimizing for low value registrations, students, hobbyists or people merely exploring AI.

Typical Target Accounts

• AI automation / Voice AI agencies

• GoHighLevel / CRM / RevOps agencies

• lead-generation agencies

• contact centers and BPOs

• SaaS companies

• businesses with meaningful inbound or outbound call volume

• companies already using Vapi, Retell, Bland, Synthflow or similar infrastructure

Sales Conversations

• Engage founders, CEOs, agency owners, CTOs, Heads of Automation, RevOps leaders and operations executives.

• Understand their workflow, pain points, current stack and commercial requirements.

• Position Paladin around the buyer's use case rather than listing features.

• Handle early-stage objections and commercial questions.

• Maintain momentum through follow-up.

• Move qualified opportunities toward technical discovery, evaluation, pilot and commercial discussion.

Product / Engineering Handoff

You are not expected to become a Voice AI engineer.

Bring in product/engineering for deeper technical, architecture or implementation discussions, ensuring technical time is spent only on genuine commercial opportunities.

CRM & Reporting

• Maintain accurate records of prospects, conversations, meetings, opportunities and outcomes.

• Track why prospects move forward or drop out.

• Report actual funnel performance, not vanity activity.

• Share recurring objections, ICP patterns and market feedback.

• Help improve positioning, targeting, messaging and qualification.

What Success Looks Like

We care about qualified conversations, held meetings, sales opportunities, pipeline value, evaluations, pilots, paying customers and revenue influenced or sourced.

We do not care about meaningless connection counts, copied mass messages, unqualified demos, vanity impressions or scraped lead volume with no commercial intent.

Initial Performance Expectations

After onboarding and ramp-up, we expect approximately:

• 3+ qualified held meetings per week

• 12–15+ qualified meetings per month

• consistent creation of commercially relevant pipeline

• active contribution toward new international paying customers

We value qualified revenue opportunities over artificially inflated meeting numbers.

Who We’re Looking For

Mandatory

• 2–4+ years of hands-on outbound B2B sales experience

• meaningful experience selling B2B SaaS or technology products

• experience prospecting into the US / North American market

• personally generated pipeline rather than only managing inbound leads

• strong LinkedIn prospecting experience

• experience speaking with founders, executives or business decision-makers

• excellent written and strong spoken English

• comfort working with international prospects

• experience with follow-ups and multi-touch sales cycles

• CRM familiarity

• ability to work independently in a remote environment

• confidence operating in an early-stage, high-ownership environment

Strongly Preferred

Experience in AI SaaS, Voice AI, conversational AI, automation platforms, CRM, sales technology, contact-center software, telephony, APIs/developer infrastructure, MarTech, RevOps technology or agency-focused SaaS.

You Should Know Your Numbers

We will ask about your actual historical sales performance, including:

• prospects contacted and conversations generated

• average qualified meetings per month and show rates

• opportunities and pipeline generated

• quota attainment and conversion rates

• markets and ICPs you sold into

We may request reasonable evidence where available, such as redacted CRM screenshots, quota reports, performance documentation or professional references. Confidential information from previous employers should remain confidential.

Who Should NOT Apply

This role is probably not for you if:

• your background is primarily social media marketing or domestic telecalling

• you have never personally generated B2B SaaS pipeline

• you rely entirely on automated bulk outreach

• you measure success by messages sent rather than opportunities created

• you are uncomfortable speaking with US business decision-makers

• you need a rigid script for every conversation

• you expect marketing to provide ready-to-close leads

• you are uncomfortable being accountable for commercial outcomes

• you want a low-pressure role with limited ownership

Why Join Us

Paladin is already built and used by real customers and agencies. You will work close to product, GTM and commercial decision-makers in a fast-growing Voice AI category, with direct influence over positioning, targeting, sales strategy and ICP development. Strong performance will be rewarded with greater responsibility as Paladin grows.

Working Hours

This is an India-based remote position focused primarily on the US market.

You must be comfortable maintaining meaningful overlap with US business hours when prospect conversations, meetings or follow-ups require it.

Compensation

₹6–9 LPA depending on relevant experience and proven performance.

Performance incentives are tied to meaningful commercial outcomes. Strong performers can reach approximately ₹10–12 LPA total annual on-target earnings, with future upside as the sales engine scales.

Hiring Process

Stage 1 — Application Review: CV, LinkedIn profile, B2B SaaS experience, market experience and historical performance.

Stage 2 — Performance Discussion: Walk us through recent outreach, conversations, meetings, qualification, pipeline, quota, customers and conversion rates.

Stage 3 — Practical Sales Exercise: Using Paladin, demonstrate how you would identify an ICP, find target companies and decision-makers, research a prospect, write an opening LinkedIn message and follow-up, qualify interest and handle an objection.

Stage 4 — Final Conversation: Role expectations, working style, compensation, targets, onboarding and start date.

How to Apply

Please apply with your CV and LinkedIn profile.

Along with your application, answer:

1. What B2B SaaS or technology product did you most recently sell?
2. Which geography or market were you responsible for?
3. How many qualified meetings did you personally generate in an average month?
4. What was your best month?
5. What percentage of your meetings typically showed up?
6. How much qualified sales pipeline did you generate or influence?
7. What was your quota and how consistently did you achieve it?
8. How much of your pipeline came from LinkedIn-led outbound?
9. What type of decision-makers did you usually sell to?
10. Write one cold LinkedIn message you would send to an AI automation agency owner after learning that the agency already manages several paying clients but currently does not offer Voice AI.

Please answer honestly.

We would rather hire someone with strong, verifiable commercial ability than someone with an impressive-looking CV but weak execution.

If you enjoy creating pipeline from nothing, understand B2B SaaS, know how to sell into the US market and want meaningful ownership inside an early-stage Voice AI company, we would like to hear from you.

This isn't a traditional SDR role where you're only expected to book meetings. You'll be involved throughout the sales process and will learn how high-value B2B sales works.

What You'll Do Find and qualify businesses that could benefit from AI and custom software. Reach out to founders and decision-makers through outbound channels. Conduct discovery calls and understand business challenges. Position AI and software solutions based on business needs. Follow up consistently and move opportunities toward closure. Work closely with the founders on sales strategy, messaging, and execution.

Who We're Looking For

More than your résumé, we care about your mindset ( full time job exposure - Fresher we are not considering).

We're looking for someone who is:

Confident speaking with founders, CXOs, and business owners. Naturally curious and enjoys talking to people. Comfortable with outbound sales and handling rejection. A hustler who takes ownership instead of waiting for instructions. Eager to learn about AI, software, and technology. Ambitious and looking for a long-term career in B2B sales. Experience Around 1–2 years of experience in sales, business development, or client-facing roles is preferred. Experience in software or IT services sales is a plus, but not mandatory. If you've consistently exceeded targets, learned quickly, and can demonstrate strong sales ability, we'd love to hear from you.

We're looking for someone with confidence, ownership, and a strong sales mindset.

If you're the kind of person who enjoys meeting new people, isn't afraid of rejection, and is excited about building something from the ground up, you'll fit right in.

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
