CHIEF MARKETING & SALES OFFICER — INDIA (Performance-Based | Path to Co-Founder)
Build the Institution That Shapes the Future of AI.
Artificial Intelligence will reshape industries, professions, and economies over the coming decade.
The institutions that develop the people capable of leading that transformation will matter.
Heisenberg Institute of AI & Quantum Computing is being built with an ambitious objective: to establish a globally respected institution at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, professional education, research, and executive development.
We are now seeking an exceptional commercial leader to join our founding leadership team in India.
This is not a conventional marketing or sales appointment.
It is an opportunity to build the commercial engine of an institution from the ground up—and ultimately help shape the institution itself.
THE APPOINTMENT
As Chief Marketing & Sales Officer — India, you will assume responsibility for the Institute's commercial growth and market development across India.
Working directly with the Founder, you will help define how Heisenberg enters the market, establishes authority, builds strategic relationships, and becomes a trusted destination for serious AI education and professional development.
You will have significant autonomy—and equally significant accountability.
Your mandate will extend beyond acquiring students.
You will help build a brand, a market, a network, and a scalable institution.
YOUR MANDATE
You will lead the Institute's commercial agenda across five principal areas:
Market Development
- Define and execute Heisenberg's national commercial strategy.
- Identify high-value market segments and establish routes to sustainable growth.
- Develop the Institute's positioning across professional, executive, enterprise, academic, and institutional markets.
Revenue & Growth
- Build scalable enrollment and revenue channels across the Institute's programs.
- Establish a disciplined, high-performance sales function.
- Develop enterprise and institutional revenue opportunities.
- Create commercial systems capable of scaling beyond founder-led growth.
Strategic Partnerships
- Build relationships with senior executives, enterprises, universities, government organizations, and industry bodies.
- Develop institutional partnerships and strategic alliances that expand Heisenberg's reach and credibility.
- Represent the Institute at senior leadership and industry forums.
Brand & Market Authority
- Establish Heisenberg as a distinctive and trusted voice in AI education and workforce transformation.
- Lead the commercial dimension of brand development and market positioning.
- Build a reputation based on intellectual credibility rather than conventional EdTech marketing.
Leadership
- Build and lead the Institute's marketing, admissions, business development, and sales capabilities.
- Establish the culture, standards, processes, and performance expectations required for sustained growth.
- Work closely with the Founder and academic leadership to translate institutional vision into commercial execution.
THE STANDARD
We are looking for an exceptional individual—not simply an experienced one.
This opportunity is intended for a commercially accomplished leader who sees the opportunity to build an institution, rather than simply manage a function.
You should bring:
- A demonstrated record of creating meaningful and sustained revenue growth.
- Senior-level experience across marketing, sales, business development, or commercial leadership.
- The ability to open doors and build relationships with CEOs, CXOs, institutional leaders, and strategic decision-makers.
- Exceptional commercial judgment and negotiation ability.
- The ability to move comfortably between strategy and execution.
- Entrepreneurial instinct, ownership mentality, and intellectual curiosity.
- The confidence to operate in an environment where the playbook is still being written.
- A genuine understanding of the significance of Artificial Intelligence and the transformation it is driving across industries.
Experience in EdTech, enterprise technology, consulting, SaaS, professional services, executive education, or technology-enabled businesses will be particularly relevant.
More important than industry pedigree is evidence of exceptional commercial capability.
THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE
We are deliberately keeping this appointment selective.
We are not looking for someone who simply wants a senior title.
We are looking for someone who wants to build something consequential.
Someone who can take an institution in its formative stage and help turn it into a recognized name.
Someone who is comfortable with accountability, ambiguity, and ownership.
Someone who thinks in years—not quarters.
And someone who ultimately wants their contribution to be measured not by the position they held, but by what they helped build.
COMPENSATION & OWNERSHIP
This is a performance-based founding leadership appointment.
During the Institute's current growth phase, compensation will be structured primarily through a competitive revenue-sharing model, directly aligning executive reward with measurable commercial performance.
This structure is intentional.
We are seeking a leader who approaches the opportunity with an owner's mindset.
As the Institute scales, exceptional performance and long-term commitment may lead to consideration for a Co-Founder / Equity Partner position, subject to mutual alignment, contribution, and the evolution of the business.
The objective is not simply to compensate performance.
It is to create the possibility for meaningful ownership in what that performance helps build.
WHY HEISENBERG
This is an opportunity to join an institution at the beginning of its journey.
You will have the opportunity to:
- Help shape the commercial architecture of a new AI institution.
- Work directly with the Founder and founding leadership.
- Build a national market from the ground up.
- Develop relationships across enterprises, universities, government, and the technology ecosystem.
- Operate at the intersection of AI, education, research, and workforce transformation.
- Build a leadership position with genuine long-term ownership potential.
- Participate in the creation of an institution designed for global relevance.
THE SELECTION PROCESS
This is a selective appointment.
Applications will be reviewed based on commercial track record, leadership capability, strategic judgment, network, and evidence of having built meaningful growth.
We are particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate:
What you built.
What you grew.
What you changed.
And what happened because you led it.
If you are looking for another executive position, this may not be the right opportunity.
If you are looking for the opportunity to build an institution—and potentially own a part of what you build—we would like to hear from you.
