About us

Zenskar is building new-age billing and pricing infrastructure for SaaS companies. As SaaS pricing evolves from vanilla subscription based models to more granular usage based models, billing and pricing infrastructure needs to be completely reimagined.

Zenskar is founded by Apurv Bansal & Saurabh Agrawal, who sold their previous startups to Snapdeal and Gaana respectively. They have experience at organizations such as Google, Basepair, Elevation Capital, IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi and Harvard Business School. We are funded by marquee global investors, including Bessemer Venture Partners.

We are building our founding team, and are looking for:

1. engineers who can optimize for quick iteration, fast deployment and having a great developer experience.
2. sales, marketing and growth folks who are excited to push the envelope on GTM (go to market) innovation

You should be excited about learning and meaningfully shaping the trajectory of an early stage startup from Day 0 in its journey.

? Sales @ Zenskar

In order to succeed, SaaS companies need to innovate not only on product, but also GTM (go to market). An innovative, multi-pronged GTM approach is critical to stand out and attract customers.

The good part is that we are building a “pain-killer”, as opposed to a “vitamin”, which makes it much easier to sell and market ? The pain is severe, the product is best in class, and the market is huge - it doesn’t get better than this.

We are selling to the mid market and enterprise, with a fairly high touch sales process. We are setting up best-in-class sales machinery to scalably and predictably drive revenue.

? What you can expect

- Ownership and autonomy: As a founding team member, you have immense responsibility. You own and drive the execution.
- Learning: You will work on challenging problems and engage in some of the most meaningful work of your life.
- You will have to figure out our Go-To-Market playbook from scratch - channels, messaging, discovery, demos, sales cycle, personas, nurturing, partnerships etc. Expect a whole lot of iteration and first principles thinking.

- Culture:





- We don’t take ourselves too seriously, and know how to have fun :)
- Health of our team is most important to us. Balance work with life - be productive, not busy.
- Being remote first, we thrive via async communication.

- Flexibility: Remote - work from wherever you are in the world; If you prefer coming to office in person, we have a physical space in Indiranagar, Bangalore ?
- Compensation: We offer competitive salary with generous ESOPs
- Benefits (for full time roles):

- Health insurance
- Generous vacation policy
- Learning and development budget
- Team events and company offsites
- Company Laptop
- Maternity and Paternity benefits
