Company Description CollZap is India’s first campus-based peer matching platform designed for ambitious college students who want serious, like-minded peers within their own campus. The platform verifies student identities, captures their focused interests, and uses a seriousness test to match them with peers at a similar knowledge level, enabling 1-on-1 connections, small accountability groups, and campus-wide communities.

CollZap aims to build infrastructure for intentional student growth, rather than another general social network, helping students avoid unproductive circles and make the most of their college years. Founded by a student who experienced this challenge firsthand and validated by 120+ college students across India, CollZap is currently under active development with a growing early community.

Role Description The Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at CollZap will lead the overall marketing strategy and execution, guiding brand positioning, student acquisition, and community growth across Indian campuses. This full-time, on-site role in India involves developing integrated marketing plans, overseeing market research, and collaborating with product, community, and sales teams to drive adoption and engagement.

The CMO will manage and mentor the marketing team, shape CollZap’s messaging, supervise public relations and partnerships, and ensure consistent brand communication across digital, offline, and campus channels. Day-to-day responsibilities include setting performance metrics, reviewing campaign results,



optimizing budgets, and identifying recent growth opportunities aligned with CollZap’s mission of enabling intentional student growth.
