About Creatorly

Creatorly is a creator marketing platform that connects brands with a fast-growing network of micro and small Instagram creators (roughly 1K–50K followers) for paid influencer campaigns.

Brands launch campaigns from ₹1,000 on a simple model of ₹499/month plus a 2% platform fee, and can repurpose creator content as paid ads. With a robust creator community in place, we are now scaling the brand side of our marketplace.

About the Role

As our Founding Brand Partnerships Lead, you will lead brand acquisition end to end, from first outreach to a brand's first live campaign. You will work directly with the founders and lay the foundation for a growing brand partnerships team.

What You'll Own

You will own the complete brand partnership lifecycle and report weekly on pipeline performance at each stage.

1. Lead generation: Build target lists of D2C and growing brands that already post on Instagram and already spend on influencers. Use Instagram, the Meta Ad Library, LinkedIn and D2C directories, focused on Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, Chandigarh and Ludhiana.

2. Outreach and follow-up: Run cold email, Instagram DM, LinkedIn and WhatsApp sequences. Follow up consistently and log every touchpoint.

3. Discovery call: Learn the brand's goals, current influencer spend, past results and pain points.

4. Demo and proposal call: Show the platform and a sample creator shortlist for the brand's niche and budget.

5. Closing call: Handle objections on pricing, creator quality and ROI, and convert the brand to a paid subscription.

6. Onboarding call: Set up the brand's account and build its first campaign brief together.

7. First campaign: Guide the brand to a successful first campaign,



ensure creators deliver on brief, and drive repeat campaigns.

You will also:

- Maintain an accurate CRM pipeline with each brand's stage, next steps and timelines.
- Refine sales collateral, outreach templates and call scripts, and build a documented sales playbook.
- Share weekly market insights with the founders on objections, win/loss trends and product opportunities.
