About the Opportunity

We are hiring a senior commercial leader to build and scale a new Growth & Distribution organisation in India.

The successful candidate will design the India growth strategy, recruit and develop local leaders, establish operating systems and build a scalable online-and-offline customer-acquisition model.

This is not a role focused only on digital advertising or managing an established team. We are looking for an entrepreneurial organisation builder who can turn strategy into practical execution.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute the India growth and distribution strategy.
  • Build the local Growth & Distribution organisation from the ground up.
  • Recruit, develop and manage managers, team leaders and execution teams.

  • Identify suitable market-entry opportunities across different Indian cities and regions.
  • Design practical go-to-market and local execution plans for different projects.
  • Build recruitment, onboarding, training and leadership-development systems.
  • Test new channels, assess performance and improve customer-acquisition efficiency.
  • Develop repeatable operating models that can be expanded into additional cities.
  • Work closely with founders and senior stakeholders on India market expansion.
  • Personally lead the initial implementation rather than acting only as a strategic adviser.

Candidate Requirements

  • Strong experience in the Indian market, including local business practices, regional differences and customer behaviour.
  • Proven experience building a sales, distribution, direct marketing, field-sales or customer-acquisition organisation from scratch.
  • Experience recruiting and developing managers and team leaders.
  • Demonstrated success managing multi-city, multi-state or nationwide operations.
  • Strong understanding of several of the following: Direct selling Channel distribution Field sales or field marketing Market activation Referral marketing Affiliate marketing Community growth Sales-network development Market expansion Online-and-offline customer acquisition
  • Experience establishing operating procedures, KPIs, incentive systems and management processes.
  • Strong commercial judgement and entrepreneurial mindset.
  • Comfortable working in an early-stage or rapidly changing environment.
  • Able to balance strategic planning with hands-on execution.
  • Strong stakeholder-management and cross-functional communication skills.
  • Willing to travel regularly across India.

What Makes This Role Different
