What we are looking for

 Experience independently owning custom research projects—from ambiguous brief through analysis,

synthesis, recommendation, and client presentation.

 Strong qualitative and quantitative reasoning. You can work with both nuance and numbers without

overstating what the data proves.

 Exceptional PowerPoint or Google Slides craft: storyline, executive writing, information hierarchy, charts, visual examples, and disciplined editing.

 A portfolio of client-ready research decks or case studies that demonstrates synthesis and

storytelling—not merely attractive slide design.

 Confident client presence and clear spoken communication, including experience presenting to senior

stakeholders and navigating difficult questions.

 Hands-on fluency with modern AI tools for research and creative production. You know how to

prompt, critique, verify, refine, and combine outputs into work that does not feel machine-generated.

 High ownership, speed, curiosity, and composure in a startup where priorities can move quickly and

important projects can arrive with short timelines.

You will stand out if you have

 Experience in beauty, personal care, food and beverage, nutrition, home care, or another consumer category.

 Agency-side experience managing multiple clients and deadlines without sacrificing quality.

 Experience with social/video intelligence, digital ethnography, online communities, search, reviews, or

creator/influencer data.

 A strong visual instinct and comfort using image-generation or design-assistance tools to make

abstract insights tangible.

 Experience leading or mentoring researchers, even if you have not formally managed a large team.

Founder's Office | Sierra Innovations

This role sits at the intersection of strategy, execution, and leadership building.

• Lead KMP / leadership hiring across business functions

Who This Role Is For

• You take extreme ownership — outcomes matter more than effort
• You are comfortable with ambiguity and thrive in fast-moving environments
• You can build networks and influence people
• You want to grow beyond a single function into a business leader
• You are hungry to create disproportionate impact

What You’ll Gain

• Direct exposure to founder-level decision making
• Hands-on experience in fundraising, hiring, strategy, and execution
• Opportunity to build a cross-functional business understanding
• Fast-track path into leadership roles within the company

Why Sierra Innovations

We are building a category-defining D2C powerhouse in publishing and beyond — combining content, technology, and distribution at scale.

If you want to be in the room where:

• strategic decisions are made,
• leaders are built, and
• real outcomes are driven,

this is that opportunity.

Final Note

This role is not for everyone.

But if you believe you have the intellect, network-building ability, and execution strength to drive outcomes,

we would love to work with you.

Apply if you’re ready to build — not just participate.

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
