About StarterSky
StarterSky is a Mumbai-based education company. We help students start their own projects and business as well as we work with companies to create meaningful internship experiences. We run group cohorts, individual mentoring tracks, and a growing internship placement vertical that connects students with real companies. We're a small, fast-moving team, and this role will work directly with the founder.
The Role
We're hiring a Sales & Marketing Associate to help us grow on both sides of the business, bringing more students into our accelerator programs, and building out our internship vertical. You will do outreach and conversion for students and parents, pitch to schools and counsellors, participate in BD and help build the company-side pipeline for internship placements. This is a generalist growth role. You will move between calls, campaigns, and outreach depending on what the week needs.
What You'll Do
Run conversion calls with prospective students and parents, guiding them from inquiry to enrollment across our cohort and individual-track programs
Outreach to schools to build partnerships and referral pipelines
Do outbound outreach to companies to build our internship placement pipeline- cold calling and relationship-building with businesses willing to host student interns
Support webinars and info sessions for schools, counsellors, and parents
Track leads, conversion rates, and campaign performance, and report back on what's working
Represent StarterSky at any school or private fair
Create different channels to increase awareness
What We are Looking For
1–2 years of experience in sales and business development,
Comfortable making outbound calls and holding conversations with parents, schools, and companies
Strong written and spoken communication- you can represent StarterSky's voice credibly to a principal, parent and a 16 year old
Organized and self-directed - comfortable owning a pipeline and following up without being chased
Genuine interest in education, youth entrepreneurship, or startups
Based in or able to work from Mumbai (hybrid )
Nice to Have
Experience with sales and BD
Excellent communication skills
Prior experience in ed-tech, B2C education sales, or corporate outreach/partnerships is an advantage

What You'll Get
Direct ownership over growth for a fast-scaling startup, working closely with the founder
Exposure across the full funnel- sales, marketing, and partnerships
A front-row seat to a business built around real student outcomes, not just test scores
