Commercial & Marketing Manager

The Opportunity

We are looking for a highly organised, commercially minded and hands‑on Commercial & Marketing Manager to work closely with the founder across a growing portfolio of businesses spanning technology, food, music and entertainment.

This is not a traditional high‑pressure Sales Manager position. We are looking for a grounded, dependable and structured individual who is also tenacious, enterprising and a genuine self‑starter. The successful candidate will bring discipline to the sales process, keep opportunities moving and turn ideas into consistent commercial activity.

We are a UK‑based company with offices in Goa, India. The successful candidate can be based anywhere in India, although Goa is preferred. The role offers remote working, with occasional national and international travel required for business meetings, clients, events and other company activities.

You will work closely with the founder and a junior team member and will receive active support and guidance from management. We aim to provide a positive, supportive and enjoyable company environment where capable people are trusted, encouraged to take ownership and given the opportunity to grow.

• Organise and manage leads, enquiries, prospects and commercial opportunities.
• Follow and help maintain a clear, prescribed sales process and CRM pipeline.
• Ensure leads, customers and partners are followed up consistently and professionally.
• Prepare high‑quality emails, proposals, presentations and sales materials.
• Coordinate marketing campaigns, content and social media activity across multiple brands.
• Research prospects, partnerships, venues, channels and new business opportunities.
• Turn ideas and priorities into practical actions, campaigns and measurable progress.
• Support, guide and coordinate a junior team member and external creative resources.
• Communicate confidently with UK and international clients and business contacts.
• Keep management updated with clear priorities, progress, next actions and issues requiring attention.
• Gradually take ownership of the day‑to‑day sales and marketing function.

We are more interested in your character, ability and working style than your current job title. You may have worked in sales, marketing, business development, account management or commercial operations.

• Around 35 years' relevant experience in a sales, marketing, business development or commercial environment.
• Exceptionally organised, disciplined and able to manage time effectively.
• A strong multitasker who can comfortably manage several brands, projects and priorities.
• Tenacious and persistent, with the maturity to follow through without needing constant supervision.
• A self‑starter who takes ownership, uses initiative and gets things done.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Confident dealing with clients, prospects, partners and senior management.
• Comfortable following a prescribed sales process while still thinking commercially.
• Stable, grounded and dependable, with strong attention to detail and follow‑through.
• Enterprising and able to spot opportunities and suggest practical ways to grow the business.
• Comfortable working remotely while staying highly responsive and connected with management and the wider team.
• Willing and able to undertake occasional travel within India and internationally when required.

Creative flair is welcome, but organisation, consistency, communication and execution are more important. We want someone who makes sure leads do not get forgotten, follow‑ups happen when they should, the CRM stays current, campaigns move forward and priorities remain clear.

• Competitive salary based on experience and capability.
• Flexibility to work remotely…
