About the Role
We are looking for a Director- India Sales Lead who lives and breathes Indian Ecommerce. You will not be "building a pipeline from scratch"—you will be activating your existing network. We need a deal-closer who creates immediate access to the C-Suite and VPs of India’s Top 100 Commerce Enterprises (Reliance Retail, Myntra, Nykaa, D2C Unicorns, etc.). You will work directly with the founders to close high-value ACV contracts and define the sales playbook for our next phase of growth.

What You’ll Own
Net New Revenue & Quota Ownership
  • Own and drive net new enterprise revenue across Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 ecommerce and adjacent B2B segments in India
  • Secure multi-year annual commitments, targeting ~₹1 Cr ARR average deal size
  • Your compensation will be performance-linked with a strong variable component
Hunt the Top 100
  • Own the revenue target for the Indian Enterprise ecommerce market
  • Acquire logos from the Top 100 ecommerce and retail conglomerates in India
  • Proactively build and close your own enterprise pipeline
Full-Cycle Enterprise Sales Motion
Run a complete sales cycle:
  • Outbound prospecting -> Discovery & consultative selling -> Solution design -> Contract negotiation -> Closure
  • Navigate 6–12 month enterprise deal cycles, including procurement, legal, and multi-stakeholder approvals
  • Drive complex buying committees across CMO, CTO, VP Digital, and Ecommerce Heads
Unlock the C-Suite
  • Leverage your existing relationships to secure direct access to senior decision-makers
  • Bypass gatekeepers and create strategic conversations
  • Build trust and long-term enterprise relationships
Evangelize GenAI
  • Sell not just software, but a paradigm shift from manual content workflows to AI-driven commerce operations
  • Educate enterprises on how to embed Generative AI into cataloging, PDP creation, and marketing automation
  • Confidently articulate the business value of AI without buzzword-heavy selling
AI-Native Sales Execution
  • Actively leverage AI tools across prospecting, outreach, deal management, and forecasting
  • Design and execute an AI-assisted sales workflow with defined human intervention points
  • Demonstrate awareness of emerging AI models and their relevance to enterprise selling
  • Use AI to improve pipeline intelligence, personalization, and efficiency
Strategic GTM Contribution
  • Act as the voice of the market to Product and Engineering teams
  • Contribute to refining our ICP, messaging, and enterprise positioning
  • Collaborate closely with the existing enterprise sales team in a flat, high-ownership GTM structure
  • Help shape the enterprise sales playbook as an early senior member of the sales function

What We’re Looking For
Non-Negotiables
  • 6–8 years of quota-carrying enterprise sales experience with consistent over-achievement
  • Proven hunter — strong track record of closing net new logos (not just renewals/expansion)

  • Compensation history reflecting strong variable structure (60%+ variable preferred)
  • Strong reference from a previous manager validating your quota attainment and selling style

  • Excellent negotiation skills and enterprise procurement experience
  • Strong executive presence and ability to influence C-suite stakeholders
  • High ownership mindset with bias for action
  • Ability to operate in ambiguity and move faster than corporate speed

You’ll Thrive If You Have…
  • Proven track record of closing ₹50L+ to ₹1Cr+ ACV deals in the Indian market.
  • Deep understanding of the challenges faced by large e-commerce teams (Cataloging, PDP creation, Marketing automation).
  • Experience selling to key stakeholders: CMOs, VP of Digital, Head of E-commerce.
  • Excellent negotiation skills and experience with enterprise procurement processes.

Our Values
  • Extreme ownership and bias for action
  • Honest, high-velocity communication

  • Fast, scrappy iteration over perfection
  • Low ego, high empathy, radical candor

What We Offer

  • Health & wellness benefits
  • Direct exposure to the founders and core Sales motion
  • Opportunity to shape the next wave of AI x commerce Sales strategy
  • Room to grow into leadership as we scale BD and growth
