Thinkster Careers · Pune 2026
Looking for a Growth Executive Job in Pune that goes beyond cold-calling scripts? Thinkster is on the hunt for a go-getter who can turn cold prospects into warm conversations and DMs into deals. As our next Growth Executive, you’ll be the engine behind our growth efforts — researching, connecting, following up, qualifying prospects, and keeping the pipeline active with real potential.
If you know LinkedIn like a pro, love crafting emails that actually get replies, and can build prospect databases that sales teams dream about — we’d love to talk.
Why This Growth Executive Job in Pune Stands Out
Most growth and business development jobs in Pune are spray-and-pray operations. You’re handed a generic list, asked to contact hundreds of prospects, and judged purely on activity. After six months, you’re burnt out and your conversion numbers look the same as everyone else’s.
This growth executive job in Pune is built differently. Growth here is treated as a real craft — research-first, message-led, and follow-up-driven. You won’t be working from a random database. You’ll build targeted prospect lists, write LinkedIn messages that actually get replies, create effective email sequences, and qualify leads carefully so the senior team spends time on genuine opportunities.
Thinkster is a design-led digital marketing agency. We sell creative and digital services to real businesses — which means this Growth Executive role demands more thinking than scripting. Every outreach needs to feel relevant, every email should sound human, and every meeting you generate should have genuine business potential.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
- LinkedIn Outreach: Find the right decision-makers, send smart messages, and build relationships that can lead to business
- Email Outreach: Write and send emails that open doors — and follow up strategically without becoming spammy
- Database Building: Research and build clean, targeted prospect lists from scratch
- Lead Qualification: Identify high-potential prospects and separate genuine opportunities from low-quality leads
- Appointment Setting: Schedule relevant meetings for yourself and the senior growth team
- CRM Management: Keep leads organised, updated, and moving through the pipeline
- Market Research: Track industries, competitors, trends, and emerging client segments
- Growth Experiments: Test different outreach angles, industries, messaging, and follow-up approaches
- Cross-team Collaboration: Work with design, content, and digital teams to sharpen outreach messaging
Who We’re Looking For — Growth Executive With 1–2 Years Experience
We’re hiring a Growth Executive with 1–2 years of experience in business development, lead generation, sales, growth, or outbound outreach. You’ve already learned the basics — you understand prospecting, know what makes a cold email work, have experience with LinkedIn outreach, and have worked with a CRM or sales tools. Now you want a role where you can build real growth skills instead of simply chasing activity numbers.
- 1–2 years in growth, business development, lead generation, sales, or outbound outreach
- Agency or creative-industry experience is a plus
- Sharp written and verbal communication
- Strong knowledge of LinkedIn as a prospecting tool
- Sales Navigator experience is a big plus
- Comfortable with Google Sheets/Excel, Apollo, HubSpot, Zoho, and email platforms
- Detail-driven approach to prospect research and database building
- Understanding of agency services — branding, social media, digital marketing, and web
- Fluent English, written and spoken
- Pune-based
- Self-starter with a get-it-done attitude
- Friendly but persuasive — you can start conversations and steer them naturally
- Highly organised — your pipeline doesn’t have ghost leads
- Curious and constantly experimenting with better outreach tactics
- Resilient — you can take a “no” and still follow up professionally
- Comfortable being judged on outcomes, not just activity metrics
- Interested in understanding why something converts, not just how many people you contacted
More Than a Lead Generation Job — A Growth Role
A lot of lead generation jobs in Pune treat the function as pure execution — give us volume, hit the activity targets, move on. That model burns people out and produces mediocre pipelines.
We do it differently. As a Growth Executive, you’ll have input into who we target, which industries we prioritise, how we position our services, and which outreach approaches are worth scaling.
You’ll experiment with subject lines, message angles, prospect segments, and follow-up sequences. You’ll learn what works, analyse what doesn’t, and help build a repeatable system that generates quality opportunities.
How This Compares to Sales Executive & Inside Sales Jobs in Pune
Job titles in this space are messy. One Pune company calls it Sales Executive, another calls it Inside Sales, and another calls it Business Development.
This role is broader. It’s outbound-focused — you’ll generate opportunities rather than simply waiting for inbound leads. It’s research-driven — you’ll spend meaningful time understanding prospects and markets. And it’s growth-oriented — you’ll be expected to learn from your outreach and improve the system over time.
If you’ve been working in inside sales or lead generation but feel stuck doing repetitive outreach, this role gives you the opportunity to develop stronger prospecting, growth, and business development skills.
A Growth Executive Role at a Digital Marketing Agency
Working in growth at an agency is different from working at a single-product company. Your prospects can span D2C brands, B2B SaaS, real estate, education, healthcare, and other industries.
You’ll learn how different businesses think, what different decision-makers care about, and how creative and digital services solve different business problems. That makes you a sharper growth professional.
You’ll also be selling work you can actually be proud of. Our team handles real branding and rebranding projects, end-to-end social media marketing campaigns, and digital strategy that drives outcomes.
Perks & Pay
- – Competitive salary based on experience and actual results
- – Performance-based incentives
- – Fast career growth
- – Real impact — your work directly contributes to agency growth
- – Clear path toward Senior Growth Executive, Growth Manager, or Business Development Manager
- – Direct mentorship from senior team members and founders
- – Premium outreach tool access — Sales Navigator, Apollo, CRM licenses included
- – Modern Bavdhan, Pune office with snacks and good coffee
Why This Growth Executive Vacancy in Pune Is Worth Considering
This Growth Executive vacancy in Pune isn’t just another role where your work disappears into a spreadsheet. The growth team directly influences which businesses Thinkster speaks to, which industries we enter, and which opportunities reach the senior team.
Good outreach brings interesting clients. Interesting clients lead to better creative work. Better creative work strengthens the agency’s reputation. And that creates more opportunities.
So if you want a role where your work can actually move the needle — not just exist on a dashboard — this position is built for that kind of impact.
Career Growth — From Growth Executive to Growth Manager
Joining Thinkster as a Growth Executive in Pune isn’t an end-state. It’s the beginning of a broader growth career.
You’ll build skills across outbound strategy, LinkedIn prospecting, email outreach, lead qualification, CRM management, market research, pipeline management, growth experimentation, and client acquisition.
Strong performers can progress toward Senior Growth Executive, Growth Manager, Business Development Manager, or Account Management roles, depending on strengths and interests.
