Role: Partnerships Lead
Location: Bengaluru, India
Work-mode: In office (Extensive Travel)
Department: Field & Growth Operations
Budget: 18 - 20 LPA
Experience: 4+ years

What You'll Do:
- Broker access at scale. Identify, cultivate, and close relationships with high-leverage intermediaries — presidents of business associations, lenders, banks, politicians, civil servants, and large multinational corporations — who can grant direct, reliable access to hundreds of businesses.
- Build outbound pipeline. Generate leads and open doors through cold calls, email, and LinkedIn — full-cycle, from first outreach to signed partner to collected data.
- Turn one relationship into many. Convert a single institutional connection into structured, repeatable onboarding pathways for entire clusters of businesses.
- Be the trusted liaison. Serve as the ongoing point of contact between the company and partners, managing these relationships over time rather than transacting once.
- Navigate complex stakeholders. Move fluently across political, institutional,



and commercial decision-makers to secure top-level buy-in and remove friction.
- Hand off to the field. Work closely with field operations so unlocked networks translate into collected, high-quality data on the ground.

Must-Have Criteria:
- 4–5 Years of B2B Sales Experience: Proven track record in driving business revenue specifically within the SME market.
- Team Leadership: Direct experience managing, mentoring, and driving performance across a sales team.
- Pan-India Exposure & Mobility: Open and willing to undertake extensive travel across Pan-India to manage widespread partner relationships.
- Multilingual Proficiency: Strong communication skills with fluency in Hindi along with at least two South Indian languages (e.g., Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam).
- End-to-End Partnership Management: Ability to independently handle large-scale partner ecosystems and drive business growth across national territories.
