About Sinclairs Sinclairs Hotels & Resorts is one of eastern India's most established hospitality names, operating nine properties across the country's hills, plains and coastline, from Himalayan resorts to a beachfront hotel in the Andamans. We are a listed, debt-free group with a strong cash position, now in an active expansion phase and transforming how we run: our commercial discipline, our people systems and our technology. The Role You will be a founding member of the group's marketing function, with a mandate to build it: the brand, the demand engine, the direct-booking channel and the team. We measure marketing on what it does to occupancy, rate and direct-booking share, not on impressions. You will own the marketing budget, make the case for spend and be held to what it returns. Two things make this different from a conventional hotel marketing seat. We want a D2C operator who has owned a funnel from first touch to repeat purchase and knows CAC, LTV and retention. And we want someone who will build and run marketing with AI agents doing much of the work, so a small team does what used to take a large one. What You'll Own
