Growth Fellow, India
Help build a new agency's home market from day one.
We're building a performance and affiliate agency from the ground up, and India is where it starts. We're looking for two people to win our first Indian clients and build the publisher network behind them. This is a chance to help build something, not just join it.

(About us)
ScaleMind Media
ScaleMind Media connects global companies with the markets they want to win. We bring apps, ad tech, creator commerce and media platforms together with the brands, agencies and buyers who can grow them, and we stay involved until introductions turn into revenue.
Our founder, Rahul Khurana, spent 13 years at WPP leading accounts such as Coca-Cola, Philips and Dyson across India and South West Asia.
We measure ourselves by pipeline and revenue
- A USD 10 million enterprise pipeline for a leading creator commerce platform, including 20 of India's largest enterprise clients.
- A USD 1 million monthly recurring revenue pipeline in three months for a leading app performance company.
- Agency and enterprise access for a listed programmatic platform and a B2B events business.
(The role)
You'll build our home market
Win clients
Sign Indian advertisers that pay for leads, sales and installs, in fintech, D2C, edtech, subscriptions and consumer apps.
Build supply
Recruit Indian publishers, such as content sites, coupon, cashback and comparison platforms, creators and media buyers.
Run outreach end to end
Research, a personal first message, follow-up, the call and the close.
Grow what you sign
Turn a first test into a monthly budget, and a monthly budget into a long-term partnership.
Share what you learn
Add what works with Indian brands to the agency playbook.
You'll stand out if
- You follow India's startups and consumer-internet companies the way investors do.
- You are persuasive in both English and Hindi.
- You get energy from talking to founders and growth heads.
- You keep going when the first answer is no.
We only work in categories we've cleared, and every target goes through a quick approval step before outreach.
