Brand Partnerships

Company Description

Zhor is building the future of running in India.

We're not just a run club — we're building a culture, community, and eventually a global performance brand born in India.

From Sunday runs with hundreds of people to music, creators, brands, and experiences — Zhor sits at the intersection of sport × culture × community.

We're early. We're ambitious. And we're building something that hasn't existed in India before.

Role Description — Brand Partnerships

We're looking for a Brand Partnerships Hustler to join the founding team at Zhor.

You'll be the person who makes things happen — finding the right brands, getting into rooms, pitching crazy ideas, closing deals, and turning partnerships into experiences people actually remember.

What you'll do:

• Hunt for and build relationships with brands that fit Zhor
• Own the entire partnership journey — prospecting → pitching → negotiating → closing → execution
• Create partnership ideas that make brands say fuck yes
• Build long-term relationships with founders, marketing heads & decision-makers
• Negotiate commercials, deliverables and collaborations
• Work closely with the events & content team to make partnerships come alive
• Find unconventional opportunities — brands, creators, communities, events, and cultural moments
• Help build Zhor's partnership playbook from zero → one

Qualifications

We care way more about hunger than a fancy degree.

You'll probably thrive here if you:

• Are an absolute hustler — you don't wait for opportunities, you create them
• Can confidently walk into a room and talk to anyone
• Have insane communication + negotiation skills
• Understand brands, culture, social media & what Gen Z actually cares about
• Are naturally curious and constantly thinking who can we partner with
• Can take a no 20 times and still make the 21st call
• Are organised enough to manage multiple partnerships at once
• Have an entrepreneurial mindset — you see problems and figure shit out
• Love sports, running, nightlife, fashion, music, culture or communities
• Actually want to build Zhor, not just add an internship to your CV

Bonus points: You already have a network of brands, creators, founders or marketers you can reach out to.

This isn't a 9–5 role. It's a chance to be one of the first people building Zhor into India's biggest running ecosystem.
