Sales & Business Development - Design POV

About Design POV Design POV is a design-led platform that brings brands, creators, and audiences together through thoughtfully curated, lived spaces. An alternative to conventional trade shows, it creates opportunities to experience design through immersive environments, conversations, and collaborations across architecture, interiors, art, fashion, and culture.

About the Role We’re looking for a sales and business development professional who can help prospective partners understand where they fit within Design POV—and why participating matters to their business.

You’ll identify relevant brands and collaborators, initiate conversations with decision-makers, and take opportunities from first outreach through proposal, negotiation, and closure. This role calls for someone who can understand a partner’s commercial objectives and connect them with the experience, audience, and perspective Design POV offers.

What You’ll Do

- Build a relevant prospect pipeline: Research brands and businesses across interiors, furniture, lighting, materials, art, lifestyle, and related categories that align with Design POV.
- Reach the right decision-makers: Develop targeted outreach to founders, marketing heads, brand teams, and prospective partners.
- Lead meaningful sales conversations: Understand what each prospect wants to achieve, assess fit, and present a clear case for engaging with Design POV.
- Develop tailored proposals: Work with internal teams to shape proposals that connect partner objectives with the platform’s creative direction and available opportunities.




- Own the sales cycle: Manage presentations, follow-ups, objections, commercial negotiations, and closures against agreed targets.
- Maintain explicit pipeline visibility: Keep CRM records current, track deal progress, and report on opportunities, revenue forecasts, and roadblocks.
- Ensure a smooth handover: Document agreed deliverables and coordinate with internal teams so commitments made during the sales process are clearly understood.
- Grow lasting relationships: Stay connected with partners, identify repeat opportunities, and represent Design POV at relevant meetings and industry events.

What You’ll Bring
- Experience in sales, business development, partnerships, or account management, ideally within design, interiors, architecture, lifestyle, hospitality, exhibitions, or creative industries.
- A track record of generating leads, managing a pipeline, and converting conversations into business.
- The ability to sell an experience and its business value through a clear, well-researched pitch.
- Confidence in speaking with founders, senior brand representatives, and creative professionals.
- Strong proposal-writing, presentation, negotiation, and follow-through skills.
- An interest in design and the curiosity to understand different brands, audiences, and perspectives.
- Comfort working with CRM tools, sales reports, and cross-functional teams.
- Availability to work on-site in Mumbai and attend client meetings and industry events.
- An existing network within the design, interiors, or lifestyle ecosystem would be an advantage.
