The Opportunity
We are looking for a Marketing Lead who can take end-to-end ownership of Inera's marketing journey - from strategy and positioning to execution and impact.
This is not a traditional marketing role. Agri marketing is different. Great communication and creative campaigns are significant, but they are only part of the equation. You need to understand the farmer, the channel, the field team, the crop cycle, the competitive landscape and what actually drives product adoption.
You will bring together digital and on-ground marketing into one integrated engine. One day you may be shaping a digital campaign; the next, developing a farmer engagement programme, building a product story with the sales team, designing a dealer activation or figuring out how a new idea can be brought alive across multiple markets.
In short, we are looking for someone who can think like a marketer, understand agriculture and execute like an entrepreneur.
What You Will Own
1. Marketing Strategy & Brand
- Own and shape the overall marketing strategy and annual marketing plan for Inera.
- Build a distinctive brand identity, positioning and market narrative for Inera and its portfolio.
- Translate business priorities into clear marketing objectives, campaigns and execution plans.
- Build a consistent and differentiated brand voice across customer and stakeholder touchpoints.
2. Integrated Marketing
- Develop and execute integrated campaigns spanning digital, social media, content, farmer engagement, field activities, dealer/channel programmes, events and exhibitions.
- Create meaningful connections between online communication and on-ground activation.
- Develop innovative ways to build awareness, engagement and adoption across markets.
3. Farmer & Channel Marketing
- Develop farmer-centric communication, demonstrations, engagement programmes and demand-generation initiatives.
- Understand how farmers, dealers,
distributors and field teams influence product adoption.
- Partner closely with Sales to translate marketing initiatives into market impact and business growth.
4. Product Marketing & Storytelling
- Work closely with Product, R&D; and Sales to develop compelling product propositions and go-to-market stories.
- Make complex biological technologies and product benefits simple, relevant and easy to understand.
- Develop differentiated communication for farmers, channel partners, institutional customers and other stakeholders.
5. Digital & Content
- Strengthen Inera's digital presence, content ecosystem and social media strategy.
- Build high-quality content across formats from product and farmer communication to thought leadership and brand storytelling.
- Ensure a consistent brand experience across digital and physical platforms.
6. Market Intelligence
- Stay close to market trends, farmer needs, competitor activity and emerging opportunities.
- Convert market and customer insights into actionable marketing initiatives.
- Continuously test, learn and refine what works.
7. Marketing Operations
- Build and manage a strong ecosystem of creative, digital, content and other external partners.
- Own marketing budgets, priorities and execution.
- Establish clear metrics to measure reach, engagement, demand generation, adoption and business impact.
- Bring a strong bias towards quality, speed, experimentation and effectiveness.
Who We Are Looking For You could be a great fit if you:
- Have 8–12 years of marketing experience, preferably in agri-inputs, biologicals, crop protection, seeds, fertilisers or a related agriculture business.
- Have built and executed marketing programmes end-to-end, rather than owning only one part of the marketing function.
- Understand how to bring digital and offline marketing together to create market impact.
- Have a strong understanding of the Indian agriculture ecosystem, including farmers, dealers, distributors and field sales teams.
- Are equally comfortable with strategy and execution.
- Have strong skills in communication, storytelling, content and brand building.
- Can work closely with Sales, Product and Leadership to translate business objectives into actionable marketing plans.
- Know how to manage agencies and partners but don't rely on agencies to do the thinking.
- Are comfortable working in an environment where the playbook is still being built.
- Have a strong ownership mindset and enjoy creating something from the ground up.
- Are curious, energetic and willing to experiment, learn and challenge conventional approaches.
Why Inera? If This is an opportunity to build the marketing engine of a growing biologicals business at an importan inflection point. You will have the opportunity to:
- Shape how Inera and biological agriculture are positioned in the market.
- Build a marketing function and playbook from the ground up.
- Work directly with the leadership team on a high-growth business.
- Bring together science, technology, agriculture and consumer-centric marketing.
- Create new ways of connecting biological innovation with farmers and the broader agriculture ecosystem.
If you believe the future of agriculture will be shaped by better science, better biological solutions and better ways of connecting those solutions with farmers, we'd love to hear from you.
