About the Opportunity

We are hiring on behalf of our client, a quick-growing, entrepreneurial FMCG brand (client name confidential at this stage), for a Marketing Director based in Mumbai. This is a high-impact leadership mandate: the marketing function is being built from the ground up, and this role owns it end to end.

Location: Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (On-site)

Employment Type: Full-time

Experience: 12-15 years

About the Role The Marketing Director will build and scale the marketing function from scratch, set brand positioning and long-term strategy, and drive visibility across both offline and digital channels. The remit spans consumer brand-building and B2B partnerships, and extends to hiring and shaping the marketing team.

It suits someone who combines strategic thinking with a hands-on approach, and who enjoys building in a fast-growing, entrepreneurial environment rather than inheriting an established function.

Team

What We Are Looking For

- 12-15 years of overall marketing experience, with exposure across both B2B and consumer marketing.
- Prior experience across FMCG, Food, QSR or consumer brands preferred.
- A track record of brand-building and execution excellence, ideally having built or scaled a function rather than only run an established one.
