Manager – Provider Acquisition & Growth

About NexSara
NexSara is an AI-powered services marketplace connecting customers with trusted service professionals across a wide range of everyday, professional, cultural and lifestyle services.
Our goal is simple: make it easier for customers to discover the right professionals while helping service providers grow their business and connect directly with customers.
Unlike traditional commission-based marketplaces, NexSara does not take a commission from provider earnings. Providers keep 100% of what they earn.
About the Role
We are looking for a hands-on Manager – Provider Acquisition & Growth to help build NexSara's service-provider network in India.
This is an execution-focused role for someone who enjoys sales, business development, team leadership and building something from the ground up.
You will lead a small Provider Acquisition team while also actively participating in provider outreach and onboarding yourself.
Your goal isn't simply to generate registrations. You will be responsible for helping bring quality providers from initial lead through registration, onboarding and activation on NexSara.
What You'll Do
Build and manage a small team of Provider Acquisition Executives.
Identify and acquire service professionals across NexSara's priority categories and cities.
Personally participate in provider outreach, sales conversations and onboarding.
Develop provider leads through phone, WhatsApp, referrals, online research, social channels, local networks and field outreach where appropriate.
Explain NexSara's value proposition clearly and help providers understand how the platform can help grow their business.
Guide providers through registration, profile setup, service selection and onboarding.
Work with internal teams to help providers complete required verification and become active on the platform.
Set daily and weekly acquisition targets and monitor team performance.
Track the complete funnel from lead → contacted → interested → registered → verified → live/active.
Identify why providers drop out of the onboarding process and improve conversion.
Build referral channels and local partnerships that can generate provider leads efficiently.
Maintain accurate acquisition and onboarding records.
Share provider feedback with the product and leadership teams to improve the NexSara provider experience.
Help NexSara expand provider coverage across priority service categories and markets in India.
What We're Looking For
3-5 years of experience in sales, business development, merchant acquisition, provider/vendor acquisition, marketplace operations or a related role.
Some experience leading, mentoring or supervising a small sales/acquisition team.
Strong communication and persuasion skills.
Comfortable making calls, using WhatsApp and conducting direct provider outreach.
Able to work with targets and manage a measurable acquisition funnel.
Comfortable working in a startup environment where you may need to build processes rather than inherit them.
Strong follow-up and organizational skills.
Comfortable working independently with limited supervision.
Good spoken and written English.
Hindi and/or regional-language skills are a strong advantage.
Experience with marketplaces, local services, merchant acquisition, hyperlocal businesses or field sales is preferred but not mandatory.
What Success Looks Like
Success in this role isn't measured only by how many providers register.
We will look at the quality of the complete acquisition funnel, including:
Qualified provider leads → registrations → completed profiles → verification → active providers
You'll also help improve onboarding conversion, provider quality, category coverage and the productivity of the acquisition team.
Who You'll Work With
You'll work closely with NexSara's leadership and collaborate with product, operations and provider-support functions.
Because we're an early-stage company, you'll have direct visibility into how your work influences NexSara's growth in India.
Why Join NexSara?
Join an early-stage technology company and help build its India marketplace from the ground up.
Take ownership instead of simply following an established sales playbook.
Build and develop your own provider-acquisition team.
Work directly with company leadership.
Help local professionals and small businesses build their digital presence and reach new customers.
Grow with the company as NexSara expands across India and additional markets.
