A pure sales role owning lead generation to conversion for impactDash’s research, evaluation and advisory
business.

Role: Manager, Growth & Partnerships (Research & Consulting)
Vertical: Research & Consulting
Reporting to: Co-founders, impactDash
Location: Mumbai, India
Work arrangement: Mumbai-based (on-site), with travel to client and partner locations as engagements require
Engagement: Full-time, individual contributor
Compensation: ₹10,00,000 fixed per annum plus up to ₹4,00,000 performance-linked variable (up to ₹14,00,000 per annum).

About the Role
impactDash’s Research & Consulting vertical delivers need assessments, baseline, midline and endline studies, impact assessments, Social Return on Investment (SROI) analyses, MEAL system design, and thematic and sectoral research for corporates, CSR foundations, NGOs, government departments and multilateral agencies.

We are looking for an experienced sales qualified to own the full sales cycle for this vertical — from lead generation through to signed mandate. This is a pure sales role.



You will build and work a pipeline, run outreach, hold conversations with senior buyers, shape and defend proposals, negotiate commercials, and close.

It is a hands-on individual contributor position reporting directly to the co-founders. There is no team to manage and no marketing or product remit. What there is instead is complete ownership of a number, and the autonomy to build the sales engine that gets you there — the prospect database, the outreach cadence, the partnership map and the CRM discipline that holds it all together.

Work in this vertical is won on credibility. Buyers commission research because they need evidence they can defend, and much of the opportunity arrives as Terms of Reference, RFPs, tenders and empanelment calls. You will need enough command of what we do — study design, sampling, methods, effort and cost — to scope an engagement in the room and hold your own with a client’s research or programme t
