About the job

You will lead the end-to-end sales lifecycle for AdvantageClub.ai's channel loyalty platform, focused on helping enterprises across India strengthen engagement with their distributor, retailer, and influencer networks. The platform enables brands to design and automate loyalty programs based on predefined KPIs—such as sales volume, frequency, or engagement—while offering real-time visibility and personalized rewards through role-based data access. This role calls for a strategic, hands-on leader who can independently drive lead generation, engage senior stakeholders like CMOs, Channel Heads, and Trade Marketing Leads, close enterprise deals, and collaborate cross-functionally to ensure seamless onboarding and long-term success. The candidate should be capable of driving growth independently, with the ability to scale and lead a team as needed.
