About JumpNow

JumpNow is a Chennai-based creative studio working at the intersection of influencer marketing, talent management, and content production. We work with brands across India on creator-led campaigns, and manage exclusive talent in the South Indian creator space. We're a small, ambitious team — and we're building out fast.

The Role

We're looking for a hungry, self-driven Business Development Associate to help us grow JumpNow's brand partnerships and campaign pipeline. You won't be doing just admin — you'll be in the trenches: researching brands, crafting outreach, following up relentlessly, and helping close deals alongside our founder. This is a ground-floor opportunity at a studio that works at the cutting edge of creator economy and South Indian entertainment.

What you'll Do

-Research brands and identify the right decision-makers (Marketing Managers, Brand Heads) to target

– Send cold outreach via LinkedIn, email, and WhatsApp — and follow up until you get a response

– Maintain and update the leads pipeline in our CRM daily

– Prepare pitch decks, capability presentations, and proposals with direction from the founder

– Coordinate with the ops team to ensure smooth brief-to-campaign handoff once a deal is closed

– Track industry trends — new brand launches, campaign seasons, competitor activity

– Attend client calls and meetings alongside the founder as you ramp up

What we're looking for

-Strong written and verbal communication in English — you'll be writing a lot of outreach

– Comfort with LinkedIn, Gmail, and basic Google Sheets/Docs

– A genuine interest in brands, marketing, and the creator/influencer space– Self-starter attitude — you don't wait to be told what to do next

– Any background in Mass Communication, MBA (Marketing), or Media Studies is a plus

– Prior internship or experience in sales, marketing, or media is great — but not mandatory

What this role is not

– Notapurely administrative or back-office role

– Nota9-to-5 where you clock in and clock out — campaigns don't respect timesheets

– Not for someone looking for a slow ramp — you'll be doing real work from week one

What you get

– ₹20,000–25,000/month (based on experience and interview)

– Direct mentorship from the founder — you'll learn how deals actually get made

– Exposure to brand campaigns, creator economy, and South Indian entertainment industry

– Fast growth path — strong performers move into senior roles as the team expands

– WFH flexibility with monthly in-person team days
