Job Description

Job Title: Sales & Partnerships Manager — Ocean Evoke

Location: Kolkata, India

Work Arrangement: Full-time, in-office

Role Overview

E-Solve Group is hiring a Sales & Partnerships Manager to take end-to-end ownership of sales, partnerships, and CSR activity for one if it's CSR group companies - Ocean Evoke. Ocean Evoke is an ocean-focused social enterprise, selling ocean-inspired lifestyle products — beach and poncho towels, apparel, and wall prints — and offering services, while directing 1% of revenue from every sales to ocean conservation partners. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role — you'll be the single point of contact across B2B accounts, institutional partnerships, CSR programs, and every active project tied to the brand, with a fixed base plus uncapped commission on every deal you close.

If you've sold before, sold something you genuinely believed in at least once, and want to build a sales and outreach function rather than simply staff one, we'd like to hear from you.

Check out Ocean Evoke's website (www.oceanevoke.com) and Instagram (@ocean_evoke) before applying. Your interest in this is primary - everything else is secondary. This is a job which needs passionate people.
