About the Role

Are you a recent graduate looking to develop your skills in business management, marketing, communication and leadership?

We are looking for ambitious, motivated and people-oriented individuals to join our growing team in Bangalore as Junior Marketing Associates.

This is an opportunity to gain practical, hands‑on experience in face‑to‑face marketing, customer engagement, campaign coordination and business development, while developing the core skills required to progress into team leadership and management.

Working alongside experienced professionals, you will learn how successful marketing campaigns are planned, delivered and evaluated, how client relationships are developed, and how high‑performing teams are built.

We focus on practical learning, personal development and merit‑based progression, giving individuals the opportunity to take on greater responsibility as they demonstrate their capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

• Marketing & Campaign Execution: Support the delivery of face‑to‑face marketing campaigns, brand activations and customer engagement initiatives.
• Client Representation: Represent established brands and campaign partners through professional, direct customer interactions.
• Customer Engagement: Develop strong communication and interpersonal skills by engaging with customers, understanding their needs and communicating campaign messages effectively.
• Business Development: Learn the fundamentals of offline customer acquisition, campaign performance, relationship building and business growth.
• Team Collaboration: Work alongside experienced team members to share best practices, support campaign objectives and contribute to a positive team environment.
• Leadership Development: Develop the ability to coach, mentor and support new team members as you gain experience.
• Management Training: Gain exposure to team coordination, performance evaluation, recruitment, training and the operational aspects of running a successful campaign team.

What We're Looking For

We are interested in individuals with the right attitude, work ethic and willingness to learn. Previous experience is not essential, as full training and ongoing guidance are provided.

You may be a strong fit if you are:

• A recent graduate or someone looking to begin a career in marketing, business development or management.
• Confident communicating with people face‑to‑face.
• Motivated by personal development, professional challenges and achieving goals.
• A strong team player who can also take initiative and work independently.
• Interested in leadership, coaching, business operations and team development.
• Adaptable, proactive and comfortable working in a dynamic, people‑focused environment.

Experience in customer service, hospitality, retail, sales, events, sports or other people‑facing roles can be beneficial, but it is not required.

Our development programme is designed to help individuals build practical business skills through a combination of structured training, hands‑on experience and ongoing mentoring.

Development areas include:

• Face‑to‑face marketing and campaign delivery.
• Communication, presentation and relationship‑building skills.
• Customer acquisition and campaign performance.
• Team leadership, coaching and mentoring.
• Recruitment, onboarding and people development.
• Business management, planning and operational coordination.

As individuals demonstrate the necessary skills and consistency, opportunities may become available to take on additional responsibility and progress into team leadership and management.

Progression is based on performance, capability and business requirements.

What We Offer

• Structured training and ongoing professional development.
• Hands‑on experience in marketing, business development and management.
• A collaborative, energetic and performance-focused team environment.
• Opportunities to develop leadership and people‑management skills.
• Clear development objectives and the opportunity to earn greater responsibility through performance.
• The chance to contribute to a growing business with ambitious expansion plans.

Why Join Us?

We believe professional development is best achieved by combining learning with practical experience. Rather than limiting development to classroom‑based training, our approach allows individuals to build transferable skills through real‑world campaign experience, customer interaction and increasing responsibility.

For candidates who are ambitious, enjoy working with people and want to develop beyond a conventional entry‑level position, this is an opportunity to build a strong foundation in marketing, business development and management.
