But someone who performs strongly can gradually take broader ownership across business development, key accounts, partnerships, market expansion and the larger sales/growth function.You'll work closely with the founding team and have the opportunity to build the function from an early stage and grow along with the company.Location: Kakkanad, KochiType: Full-time | Work from Office
