We are looking for a driven, commercially sharp person to lead brand partnerships for our Partnerships & Creator Monetisation team. You will bring in the right brands, grow them into long-term partners, and design the programs and data logic that make every partnership perform.

You will work closely with brands, internal teams and senior leadership, and own both the relationships and the numbers behind every initiative you lead. It’s a high-ownership role with direct impact on revenue and margin.

Key responsibilities

• Pitch LehLah’s creator-led commerce proposition and close partnerships, from first meeting to pilot to long-term deal.

• Bring new brands live every month, with smooth onboarding and a clear growth plan from day one.

Brand growth & account management

• Run regular business reviews and quarterly planning with key brands: results, ROI and next steps.
• Grow every account by unlocking new categories, sale-event opportunities, campaign budgets and better commercials.
• Spot at-risk brands early and drive recovery plans.
• Bring brands insight, not just updates: present performance, opportunities and strategic recommendations.

Leadership & cross-functional ownership

• Own revenue and margin goals for your brands, and report progress to senior leadership.
• Turn every signed deal into a live program by rallying creator, tech, finance, sourcing and product teams.
• Represent LehLah with senior brand stakeholders.
• Build the playbooks, processes and trackers that help the brand function scale, and guide team members as it grows.
• Design incentive structures, test vs control groups and payout logic for brand programs.
• Build creator shortlisting criteria and estimate content capacity across platforms.
• Build attribution and cost logic using cross-marketplace data, with an execution plan for each program.

Data, analysis & reporting

• Own the numbers behind every brand (GMV, orders, creator count, revenue and margin), including month-end reconciliation.
• Make every external report accurate, consistent and in the format brands need.
• Find the root cause of performance drops, spikes and conversion changes, and spot funnel opportunities.
• Build dashboards and KPI reports, and share data-backed projections with leadership.

Programs you will ownQualifications

Education & experience

• Master’s in Marketing, Strategy, Management or an MBA (preferred).
• 2–4 years in startups, e-commerce, D2C or affiliate.

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience in brand partnerships, business development or account management, with deals you’ve closed and grown.
• A natural relationship-builder who is confident with senior brand stakeholders.
• Excellent communication, presentation and negotiation skills.
• Strong analytical thinking: comfortable building logic from scratch.
• High attention to detail, especially in external-facing data.
• An ownership mindset: you lead initiatives across teams and see them through.
• Familiarity with marketplaces (Meesho, Myntra, Amazon, Flipkart) or creator monetisation is a plus.

Why you’ll love it here

• Real ownership: your work moves revenue and margin, and you’ll see the impact every week.
• Strategy and execution: you shape the plan and make it happen.
• Big-name partners: work with some of India’s leading marketplaces and brands.
• Fast learning: sit close to leadership and grow with the creator economy.
