Help Build a New Category in Private Markets

Private equity firms have become exceptionally good at finding companies.

They're still surprisingly inefficient at finding executives who've actually solved the problems inside those companies. That's what we're changing.

Operatif is building the execution intelligence platform for private markets.

Instead of searching resumes or job titles, investors describe a business challenge in plain English, and Operatif surfaces executives who've already solved similar situations.

Revenue growth. EBITDA improvement. Capital raising. Commercial scale. M&A; integration. Turnarounds.

About the Role

We're looking for our first commercial hire.

You'll work directly with the founder to introduce Operatif to private equity firms, venture capital funds, family offices and investor-backed companies.

This isn't a traditional sales role.

It's a relationship-driven commercial role where credibility, curiosity and understanding business challenges matter far more than running scripted sales sequences.

If you enjoy working with investors and senior executives, this role will feel very familiar.

What You'll Do

- Build relationships across private equity, venture capital, family offices and portfolio companies
- Introduce Operatif to investment professionals and operating teams
- Lead commercial conversations from first meeting through customer onboarding
- Convert early adopters into long-term customers
- Help shape Operatif's pricing,



positioning and go-to-market strategy
- Gather market feedback and influence product direction
- Represent Operatif across India's private capital ecosystem

Who You Are You have 4 to 8 years of experience in roles such as:

- Client Partnerships
- Client Solutions
- Enterprise Sales
- Business Development
- Executive Search
- Market Intelligence
- Research & Advisory
- Expert Networks
- Consulting

You've built relationships with senior decision-makers and enjoy consultative commercial conversations. Experience working with private equity firms, venture capital funds, institutional investors or C-suite executives is a robust advantage.

You'll Probably Enjoy This Role If...

- You naturally build relationships with senior people
- You enjoy understanding businesses before proposing solutions
- You ask good questions before giving answers
- You're commercially ambitious but don't enjoy aggressive sales tactics
- You want to help build a business, not just hit a quota
- You're excited by creating a new market category

Why Join Operatif? You'll work directly with the founder.

You'll have a meaningful influence on product, positioning and commercial strategy.

You'll build relationships across India's private capital ecosystem.

And you'll help define how investors discover leadership talent over the next decade.
