Full-time | Hybrid | Mumbai
Moments (https://www.momentsbooks.co/) is Bound’s nonfiction imprint. We work with founders, leaders, experts, creators and other remarkable people to turn their experiences, ideas and expertise into books.
We’re looking for someone to help us build Moments into one of India’s biggest repositories of knowledge. The ideal person can:
• Spot an interesting person across the room and think ‘there’s a book here’.
• Turn a conversation into a book, a partnership, or an event.
• Easily speak to a founder and an editor – and become the bridge between publishing and other industries.
This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives on targets but also wants to work in a creative, idea-driven space. You’ll be pitching big ideas, building relationships with exciting people and brands, and turning conversations into long-term partnerships that make things happen.
The Role
• Identify potential authors, experts, founders, leaders and creators who have a compelling book in them.
• Turn promising conversations into qualified opportunities and eventually signed projects. • Identify, close and build partnerships with publishers, literary agents, media companies, brands, communities, professional networks and cultural institutions.
• Develop and execute marketing campaigns across content, email, social, events and other relevant channels.
• Run campaigns around our books and authors and help them enter larger cultural and media conversations.
• Turn Moments into a magnet for interesting conversations around nonfiction, ideas and ambitious people through events, IPs and experiences.
What Success Looks Like
• Increasingly interesting and high-quality books and projects coming into the pipeline.
• More strategic and impactful partnerships.
• More people knowing Moments as the place to go when they have a book worth writing.
The aim is to build long-lasting relationships that become the growth engine for Moments.
We are looking for someone who
• Has 1-2 years of experience in business development, partnerships, sales, marketing in publishing, media, or another relationship-driven industry.
• Has a track record of building relationships and converting opportunities into outcomes.
• Is an excellent communicator and storyteller, and can make people excited about an idea.
• Is naturally curious about people, ideas, books, business and culture.
• Is proactive. You don’t wait for a perfectly defined brief before getting started.
• Can move between strategy and execution without needing someone to hand you every next step.
• Is highly organised and can manage multiple conversations, partnerships and projects simultaneously.
• Is comfortable working in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment where the role will evolve as the business grows.
Bonus points if you have:
• A strong network among founders, CXOs, creators, experts, media professionals or cultural organisations.
• Experience in publishing, media, entertainment or other creative industries.
• Experience securing sponsorships or strategic partnerships or selling high-value services or working with senior decision-makers.
• A genuine love for nonfiction books and the people who write them.
Why Moments? 🌟
• You’ll work on books with people who have led remarkable lives that have something substantial to say.
• Our ghostwritten books have been published by Penguin Random House India, Bloomsbury India, Pan Macmillan India and Juggernaut Books, and have gone on to become national bestsellers.
• You’ll get to work at the intersection of books, business, culture and people, with a front-row seat to how ambitious nonfiction books are conceived, created and brought into the world.
• And because Moments sits within Bound, you’ll be surrounded by people working across publishing, editorial, marketing, education, content and storytelling!
To apply, please email your resume, a portfolio or list of projects you have worked on, and 2 work references to people@boundindia.com.
