Reports to: Head of Digital Marketing

About the opportunity

Matrimony.com runs India's most trusted matrimony ecosystem Bharat Matrimony, Community Matrimony, Elite Matrimony, and a portfolio of community-led brands including Tamil Matrimony, Telugu Matrimony, Hindi Matrimony and more. Together, our platforms host millions of high-intent users at one of life's biggest decision moments: marriage. That intent translates into one of the most contextually rich, demographically targeted ad environments in Indian digital media.

We're hiring an Ad Sales Manager in Mumbai to monetize this inventory at scale across web, app, email, and on-platform real estate — by building partnerships with brands and media agencies in categories that thrive at the wedding moment: jewellery, BFSI, real estate, auto, apparel, lifestyle, travel, and consumer durables.

What you'll own

- Drive ad revenue from South-based brands and media agency partners across our full portfolio of matrimony platforms
- Build and manage a healthy sales pipeline — from prospecting and pitching to negotiation, closure, and renewal
- Develop category-led narratives (e.g., why a jewellery brand should buy us for the engagement-to-wedding funnel) and translate audience data into commercial propositions
- Own relationships with planners, buyers, and strategy leads at agencies (GroupM, Publicis, Dentsu, IPG, Madison, Havas, and independents) and with direct brand teams
- Work closely with ad ops, creative, and product teams to package custom solutions — display, native,



branded content, sponsorships, lead-gen, and integrated campaigns
- Hit quarterly revenue targets, maintain forecasting hygiene, and report on pipeline health
- Bring market intelligence back — competitive pricing, emerging categories, agency mandates, and white-space opportunities

What we're looking for

- 3–5 years of ad sales experience, preferably in digital, with TV or radio sales backgrounds also welcome
- A working understanding of the Bangalore/Kerala/Hyd agency and brand ecosystem, with existing relationships a robust plus
- Strong communication, presentation, and negotiation skills — you can take a media kit and turn it into a story
- Comfort with numbers: CPM, CPC, CPL, share-of-wallet, reach/frequency, and basic campaign performance metrics
- Self-starter mindset — capable of running your own patch with minimal hand-holding
- Any Graduate degree

Bonus points for

- Experience selling into wedding-adjacent categories (jewellery, BFSI, real estate, lifestyle)
- Existing book of agency contacts in South markets
- Familiarity with programmatic, branded content

Why join us

- Sell inventory that genuinely converts — a user planning their wedding is a marketer's dream audience
- Be part of India's only listed matrimony company, with category leadership and a portfolio that spans Bharat, premium (Elite), and community-specific verticals
- Build a P&L-level; revenue function for the Southern market with real ownership and visibility
- Work alongside experienced marketing, product, and ad ops teams who'll back your pitch with data, creative, and execution
