Requirements

At least 4 years of experience in quota-carrying sales, business development, partnerships, or key account roles within direct-to-consumer, consumer internet, ecommerce, fintech, or high-growth startups.
A strong existing network across direct-to-consumer founders, chief experience officers, growth or marketing leaders, and consumer brands.

A proven track record of closing deals and delivering commercial outcomes.
Strong commercial and strategic thinking, with the ability to quickly identify partnership opportunities for a brand.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to sell to founders and senior leadership.
The ability to operate in ambiguity, build from scratch, and own outcomes end-to-end.

Responsibilities

Build and own the direct-to-consumer pipeline by identifying the right brands, founders, and opportunities, and drive partnerships from the first conversation through revenue realization.
Carry a revenue quota and deliver against it through new business, monetization, and partner growth.
Build deep relationships with direct-to-consumer founders, chief experience officers, growth leaders, and the venture capital ecosystem backing the category.
Create differentiated partnerships that drive brand growth, customer acquisition, retention, and engagement.
Bring leading direct-to-consumer brands and propositions to CRED members through rewards, offers, experiences, and privileges.
Drive adoption of CRED payment instruments across high-quality direct-to-consumer brands.
Identify strategic, product, payment, data, and growth-led opportunities that can create significant value for both CRED and partner brands.
Work cross-functionally with product, growth, marketing, analytics, and operations to turn ideas into live, scaled partnerships.
Own execution end-to-end.

Desired Qualifications

High energy, strong drive, and sharp execution focus.

help shape CRED’s d2c ecosystem by partnering with India’s most exciting consumer brands and turning those relationships into meaningful member value and business growth.

you’ll work at the intersection of d2c, consumer growth, payments, rewards and product - bringing relevant brands and differentiated constructs to CRED members, while helping d2c businesses acquire customers, drive growth and build deeper engagement.

this is a role for someone who can spot opportunities, build relationships, sell, and turn ideas into high-impact partnerships.

what you’ll own

build and own the d2c pipeline - identify the right brands, founders and opportunities, and drive partnerships from first conversation to revenue realisation.

carry a revenue quota and relentlessly deliver against it through new business, monetisation and partner growth.

work cross-functionally with product, growth, marketing, analytics and operations to turn ideas into live, scaled partnerships.

own execution end-to-end - zero hand-holding, high velocity, and a strong bias for getting things done.

What we’re looking for

This is not a relationship-management role. It is a builder + seller role for someone who wants to shape CRED’s d2c ecosystem.

4+ years in quota-carrying sales, business development, partnerships or key account roles within d2c, consumer internet, ecommerce, fintech or high-growth startups.

strong existing network across d2c founders, cxos, growth/marketing leaders and consumer brands.
