Job description

We're not building a traditional sales team. We're building an AI-native, on-ground growth engine from scratch — and you'll be one of its first builders. We need a sharp, fast-moving individual who can walk into any room, in any language, and turn a conversation into a relationship — and a relationship into revenue. AI will be your default tool, not your last resort. You'll move at the speed of someone with years of experience, because you'll have the right tools, the freedom to build, direct access to the founder, and a real stake in where this goes.

What You Will Do (The Grow Loop)

• Find the Opportunity: Work closely with teams across the function to spot warm leads, untapped markets, and brand-building opportunities across the region.
• Represent the Brand: Use tools like Claude to prep every pitch, tailor every message, and walk into every meeting positioned as the face of the brand, not just another rep.
• Run the Marketing Engine: Own outbound and lifecycle messaging using tools like Gupshup — build automations, sequences, and campaigns that keep leads warm and customers engaged without manual follow-up.
• Close and Compound: Handle conversations end-to-end — first call to final confirmation — in English, Hindi, or Telugu, and turn every closed deal into a stronger, wider network.
• Sit at the Table: Be part of stakeholder discussions and work closely with the founder — your read on the ground shapes decisions, not just executes them.
• Grow, Track, Improve: Log every interaction, learn what's working, and keep sharpening your approach. Treat every relationship like a long-term asset, because it is one.
• Keep Things Organized: Maintain trackers, CRM notes, and follow-up schedules so nothing — and no one — falls through the cracks.

Who You Are

• Experience: 0–2 years. You've built something before — a client base, a network, a brand presence — and you know what it takes to grow it.
• Multilingual & Ready: Fluent in English, Hindi, and Telugu — you can build trust with anyone who picks up the phone or walks through the door.
• AI-Native: You already use Claude (or similar tools) every day — not just to get answers, but to move faster and think sharper.
• Marketing-Comfortable: You've worked with or are quick to pick up automation tools like Gupshup — you think in sequences and campaigns, not just one-off messages.
• Curious, Not Just Persuasive: You don't need a sales degree, but you're quick to learn a product, a market, or a new angle.
• Adaptable: If a pitch doesn't land or a market shifts, you adjust and try again — you don't wait around for direction.
• Ships Fast: You'd rather make ten calls today than perfect a script for a week.

Why Join Us?

• Real impact, not vanity metrics — your work directly drives brand presence and revenue, not just reports.
• Own the region end-to-end — rare for this level of experience; you won't just execute a playbook, you'll help build it.
• A seat in the room — be part of stakeholder discussions and work directly with the founder, not three levels removed from decisions.
• Ground floor of a new initiative — this function doesn't exist yet in its final form, and you'll shape what it becomes.
• Small team, high trust — flat structure, direct access to leadership, fast decision-making.
• Strong growth trajectory — this is a launch pad role, built for someone who wants to grow into ownership, not stay an intern.
• Competitive stipend with a clear path to a full-time, higher-title role as the initiative scales.
• Mission-driven company — a decade-plus track record solving one of India's toughest operational problems.

Why This Role?

Most entry-level sales or brand roles start with a fixed script and a fixed ceiling. This one's different. You're joining at the start of a new initiative, sitting in on decisions with the founder, and running the marketing engine yourself — which means your growth isn't capped by a job description, it's shaped by how far you take it. You get real ownership, real impact, and an early shot at shaping what brand growth looks like at a real company, in three languages, from day one.
