Business Development & Media Sales Executive

AltBollywood is hiring a Business Dev & Media Sales person and no, we don't want the generic LinkedIn resume-speak.

Quick context: we're the pop culture publication built on data, not PR. Bandra-born, zero boosted posts, zero paid placements we grew because people can't stop engaging with our stuff (our engagement rates make legacy Bollywood pages look like they're on life support).

What you'll actually be doing:

Walking into a brand's office and getting them to say yes — To, The Zine, branded content, live events, all of it

Building real relationships with brand marketers and agency folks (auto, beauty, F&B, alcobev — we're not picky about categories, just about good partners)

Owning the sponsor and pitch decks — with the founding team, not alone in a Google Doc no one reads

Running full deals start to finish: outreach, pitch, negotiate, close, report

Helping out on digital ad sales too — website, Zine newsletter, Instagram

Showing your face at Mumbai events, screenings, and partner meetings, because deals happen in rooms, not just inboxes

What we're looking for:

1–2 years in sales or BD — media/entertainment/events background is a big plus, but hustle matters more than pedigree

You can talk numbers when a brand asks about reach and engagement, without needing a translator

You build relationships faster than a Bollywood love-at-first-sight montage

You're fine working in a lean, founder-led setup with no playbook — because we're building the playbook

Money talk: salary + performance commission, structure discussed in the interview. This isn't a sit and wait for leads job — the more you close, the more it shows.

Where: Mumbai (Bandra), because that's where we live and where the deals get made.

How to apply: DM us or write to [HIDDEN TEXT]. Skip the formal cover letter just tell us why AltBollywood, not just why sales.
