Sales Manager — Social Gear (Mumbai, India)

Role Type: Individual Contributor — This is a hands-on selling role, not a team-management role
Experience: 3–8 years in advertising, media, or technology sales

What is Social Gear?
Social Gear is a unified advertising platform that enables brands and agencies to manage multiple advertising channels from a single interface instead of using several disconnected tools.
Our strongest capability today is Creator Marketing, where we help brands discover relevant influencers and creators, verify their authenticity, and execute high-performing influencer campaigns.
In addition to creator marketing, Social Gear offers:
- Display Advertising
- Email Marketing
- Connected TV (CTV) Advertising
- Programmatic Advertising
- Digital Campaign Management
One of our biggest competitive advantages is LYKSTAGE, our own premium video streaming platform. Through Social Gear, brands can advertise directly on LYKSTAGE's premium Connected TV inventory across Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung TV, LG TV, Android TV, and other streaming devices.
Unlike most advertising platforms, we own and manage our own premium inventory, allowing advertisers to achieve greater transparency, premium placements, and measurable campaign performance.
Today, Social Gear serves advertisers across India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, the UAE, and Singapore.
