Regional Head - India

This role is for one of the Weekday's clientsMin Experience: 6 years

Location: Mumbai

JobType: full-time

We are seeking our first hire in India to lead market entry and establish a strong presence for a fast-scaling UK-based startup in the creator economy. This is a hands-on, entrepreneurial role suited for someone who thrives on building from scratch and driving growth in a dynamic, early-stage environment.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• Industry background: Strong experience in marketing agencies or brand partnerships, with an established network and credibility among top consumer brands in India.
• Digital marketing expertise: Solid understanding of how brands approach social media, creator-led campaigns, and performance marketing.
• Entrepreneurial mindset: Comfortable with rolling up sleeves, pitching, experimenting, and iterating without the support of a large team.
• Business development skills: Confident in presenting to CMOs, brand managers, and agencies, with the ability to secure pilot campaigns and long-term partnerships.
• Independent operator: A self-starter who can represent the brand in India, working closely with the UK leadership team while running day-to-day operations independently.

What’S Less Important

• Traditional corporate hierarchy or big-team leadership experience.
• Long CVs filled with “maintenance mode” roles—we are looking for builders, not maintainers.

Why This Role?

• Be the first person on the ground in India for a disruptive player in the creator economy.
• Shape how Indian brands engage with creators and everyday consumers.
• Collaborate directly with the founders and global leadership team.
• Significant personal growth opportunity, with the potential to evolve into full country leadership as the company scales.

Location: Mumbai preferred, though other major metro cities will be considered.
