Senior Executive – Strategic Market Research & Corporate Strategy

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
