Verona is an authenticated matchmaking community designed exclusively for the modern, global Indian. We’re on a mission to foster fulfilling partnerships that last lifetimes.

India needs to be happier. Happy societies require deep and meaningful relationships. By bringing science to love, we want to transform the way Indians seek lifelong partners.
The Head of Growth & Marketing will sit at the intersection of business growth and brand — owning both the numbers (acquisition, revenue, retention) and the narrative (brand story, content, social media).
This is a dual mandate: half growth operator, half marketing/brand leader, unified under one person so that everything Verona says and everything Verona does to acquire and monetize users pulls in the same direction. This executive-level position requires a proven leader who can move fluidly between performance metrics and creative direction, and who can build and run a high-functioning team across both disciplines. This is a role for someone who believes growth and trust are the same problem — that the numbers only move when the story is right, and the story only matters if it converts.
