Founding Growth Partner – India (Tamil Nadu First)
Worldwide
🚀 Founding Growth Partner – India (Tamil Nadu First) Help Build India’s Next AI-First Education Platform We’re building an ambitious AI-first education platform with a long-term vision to become one of the world’s leading learning ecosystems for students. India is our first major market, and we’re looking for an exceptional Founding Growth Partner who wants to build something meaningful from the ground up. This is not a traditional marketing job. We’re looking for someone who understands how students, parents, schools, communities, and local networks work—and who believes relationships and community can outperform expensive advertising. ⸻ 🌟 Your Mission Your mission is simple: Help us build the fastest-growing student community in India. Our initial target is: * 100,000+ student/parents downloads * Strong presence across Tamil Nadu * Expand into other Indian states * Build a scalable grassroots growth engine You won’t simply “market” our platform. You’ll build the network that powers its growth. ⸻ 🎯 What You’ll Do We’re looking for someone who can build relationships, communities and partnerships such as: * Student ambassador programs * Parent ambassador programs * School relationships * Student communities * WhatsApp communities * Telegram communities * Local education influencers * Youth organizations * Educational events * Referral programs * Campus representatives * Community partnerships Most importantly… Design and execute a roadmap that can scale our platform to 100,000+ users using community-driven growth—not just paid advertising. ⸻ 👤 Who We’re Looking For You might be someone who has worked with: * EdTech companies * Student communities * School partnerships * Parent communities * Educational NGOs * Campus ambassador programs * Community marketing * Business development * Growth partnerships You probably already have an existing network among students, parents, schools or educational communities. If you’re starting completely from zero, this probably isn’t the right role. ⸻ ✅ What Makes You a Great Fit You’re someone who says: “I know how to reach students.” not “I know how to run Facebook Ads.” You enjoy building communities. You enjoy creating partnerships. You’re entrepreneurial. You’re self-driven. You’re comfortable working with founders. You think long-term. ⸻ ❌ This Role Is NOT For You If… Your first solution is: * Facebook Ads * Google Ads * Instagram Ads Those are useful tools—but they are not our primary growth strategy. We’re looking for someone who believes: Communities - Advertising Relationships - Campaigns Trust - Clicks ⸻ 💰 Compensation We’re flexible and looking for the right long-term partner. The compensation package may include: * Monthly retainer (depending on experience) * Recurring commission based on paying subscribers * Performance bonuses * Long-term leadership opportunities Our goal is to build a partnership—not a short freelance project. Outstanding performers will have the opportunity to become State Growth Leaders as we expand across India. ⸻ 🌍 Why Join Us? You’ll be joining at an early stage where your work can shape the future of the company. This isn’t a role where you’ll be managing ads for someone else’s business. You’ll be helping build an education platform that aims to impact millions of students. If you’re looking for a normal freelance job… This probably isn’t it. If you’re excited about building something that could become one of India’s most recognized education platforms… We’d love to hear from you. ⸻ 📩 To Apply Please answer these four questions. 1. Tell us about the strongest network you already have. Examples: * Schools * Students * Parents * Educational institutions * WhatsApp communities * Student organizations ⸻ 2. Imagine you have ₹0 advertising budget. How would you reach 100,000 student downloads within 12 months? Be specific. ⸻ 3. What education or community-building projects have you previously worked on? ⸻ 4. Why do you believe you’re the right person to build our India growth network?
