Launched in 2017 with a mission to make education accessible to 100 million students, Cialfo provides a range of mobile and web solutions to students, K-12 institutions, and higher education institutions. We’re one of the fastest-growing tech startups in the region, consistently charting new heights!

This position is with Cialfo and BridgeU, one of the brands under Manifest Global, which also includes Explore and Kaaiser. 

About This Role

We are looking for a Senior Marketing Manager to own both go-to-market strategy and pipeline generation for the Cialfo and BridgeU K12 platform. This is a high-ownership, hands-on role that combines the strategic depth of a Product Marketing Lead with the execution rigour of a Demand Generation Lead.

You will own product positioning, messaging, competitive intelligence, and voice of the customer — while simultaneously driving pipeline across web, digital, lifecycle, events, social, and ABM. You will be the strategic link between what we build and how the market receives it, and you will own the campaign engine that converts that positioning into revenue.

You will use AI tools natively across the entire marketing lifecycle — from audience research and brief generation through to creative production, performance analysis, and reporting — and you will operate as a true partner to the K12 Sales team, owning MQL quality, the handoff process, and pipeline SLAs.

This role is based in Delhi, India and reports into the Head of Marketing, K12. This is an Individual Contributor role to begin with, with an opportunity to build and scale a team as the business grows.

What You Will Be Doing

Product Positioning & Messaging

• Build and own positioning, naming, and messaging frameworks for K12 product launches.
• Develop and maintain ICP definitions and buyer personas across K12 audience segments — schools, counselors, students, and parents — across different markets.
• Ensure messaging is regionally calibrated and relevant; what lands in LATAM needs a different frame in India or the Middle East.
• Partner with UX to align in-product messaging and onboarding flows.

Go-to-Market Execution

• Lead end-to-end GTM planning — from positioning through channel execution to adoption measurement.
• Drive feature adoption through in-product channels (email, push, in-app) coordinated with lifecycle triggers.
• Train internal stakeholders on every launch — Sales, CX, and leadership as a core GTM deliverable.
• Use AI tools to accelerate GTM output: content production, personalisation, testing, and reporting.

Pipeline Ownership & Demand Generation

• Own pipeline generation across all channels — digital, email, lifecycle, social, events, and ABM — fully attributed to revenue.
• Drive MQL volume and conversion rates across the K12 websites (Cialfo and BridgeU) and campaign channels.
• Manage pipeline efficiency from first touch to SQL handoff with clear SLA accountability to the Sales team.
• Set and track demand gen KPIs: MQL volume, cost per MQL, MQL-to-SQL conversion rate, pipeline contribution, and channel ROI.

Full-Funnel Campaign Execution

• Design and execute integrated campaigns across web, lifecycle email, social, events, content, and ABM.
• Own the campaign calendar, prioritising by pipeline impact and coordinating across channels for consistent messaging and timing.
• Manage external vendors and hold them accountable to performance targets, briefs, and delivery timelines.
• Build scalable campaign processes that enable faster execution and consistent cross-channel measurement.
• Run hypothesis-driven A/B tests across every channel — landing pages, email subject lines, ad creative, CTAs — and act on results fast.

Sales & CX Enablement

• Build and own the K12 enablement library: pitch decks, one-pagers, objection handling guides, battlecards, and demo talk tracks.
• Run regular enablement sessions with global Sales and CX teams.
• Partner with CX on customer success stories and reference content tied to specific product use cases.

Lifecycle & Email Marketing

• Own the full lifecycle marketing programme from first touch nurture through to re-engagement across the K12 audience of school leaders, administrators, and counselors.
• Design and manage automated workflows in HubSpot that move leads through the funnel and surface high-intent signals for Sales.
• Segment audiences by persona, behaviour, and funnel stage to deliver relevant messaging at the right moment.
• Monitor and improve lifecycle metrics: open rates, click-through rates, nurture-to-MQL conversion, and unsubscribe rates.

Voice of the Customer (VoC)

• Own Cialfo's structured VoC program for K12 — regular interviews and feedback loops with schools, counselors, and students across key markets.
• Synthesise qualitative and quantitative signals into actionable insights for Product, UX, and leadership.
• Build and maintain a VoC repository so customer language, pain points, and unmet needs are systematically captured and accessible.
• Run advisory panels or user research sprints in partnership with Product to inform the roadmap.

Win/Loss & Competitive Intelligence

• Own the win/loss program — conduct regular interviews with won and lost opportunities, synthesise findings, and present to Product, Sales, and leadership quarterly.
• Build and maintain competitive intelligence: monitor the landscape, develop battlecards, and keep Sales and CX equipped to win.
• Feed competitive and customer insights back into positioning and product feedback loops.

Social Demand Generation

• Run social as a demand gen channel — not just brand awareness — with a focus on generating engagement, traffic, and leads from LinkedIn and other relevant platforms.
• Build and manage social campaigns targeting school decision-makers across global markets.
• Collaborate with content and brand to ensure social creative is optimised for conversion, not just reach.

Website & Conversion Optimisation

• Own the Cialfo K12 website end to end — performance, conversion optimisation, lead capture, and user experience.
• Implement and monitor UTM tracking, campaign attribution, and accurate data capture across all entry points.
• Run continuous experiments on landing pages, forms, and conversion flows to improve MQL volume.

Sales Partnership & ABM

• Operate as a genuine partner to the K12 Sales org — attend pipeline reviews, understand deal velocity, and align demand gen programmes to Sales priorities.
• Own the MQL-to-SQL handoff process: lead scoring, SLA compliance, follow-up timelines, and lead quality feedback loops.
• Build and execute Account-Based Marketing programmes targeting priority school accounts across key markets.

AI-Powered Marketing Operations

• Use AI tools natively across the entire marketing lifecycle — from audience research, brief generation, and GTM planning through to creative production, performance analysis, and reporting.
• Use AI-assisted tools to design ad creative, write and test email copy, build landing page variants, and produce campaign reports faster than traditional workflows allow.
• Proactively evaluate and adopt new AI tools that improve campaign velocity, personalisation, or measurement accuracy.

Reporting & Optimisation

• Build and maintain dashboards tracking pipeline contribution, channel performance, funnel metrics, and campaign ROI.
• Report to the Head of Marketing, K12 on a regular cadence — with clear, data-driven recommendations.
• Translate campaign performance into budget reallocation decisions and channel prioritisation recommendations.

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Embed with Product Management throughout the development cycle — from discovery through launch.
• Be the voice of the customer for product and engineering teams.
• Engage global CX and Sales teams across multiple countries to gather insights and drive regional relevance.

About You

• Qualifications
  • Bachelor's or Postgraduate degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or a related field.
• Experience & Skills
  • 6-8 years of marketing experience in a B2B or B2B2C organisation, with meaningful depth across both demand generation and product marketing.
  • Proven ownership of pipeline from web, digital, lifecycle, events, and other channels — with clear revenue attribution and a track record of improving funnel metrics over time.
  • Demonstrated track record of owning product positioning, messaging, and launches across B2B products.
  • Strong understanding of the B2B funnel: MQLs, SQLs, pipeline stages, SLA management, and what it means to be a genuine partner to a Sales org.
  • Experience with ABM strategy and execution targeting institutional or enterprise buyers.
  • Experience running VoC programmes — structured customer research, interviews, or advisory panels that influenced product or positioning decisions.
  • Hands-on experience with a win/loss analysis programme — not just contributing to one, but shaping how it works.
  • Experience building Sales enablement programmes — training and structured rhythms, not just collateral.
  • Hands-on experience running campaigns across web, paid digital, lifecycle/email, and social. Comfortable owning multiple channels simultaneously.
  • Strong analytical skills — comfortable with attribution modelling, CRM data, dashboard building, and translating funnel insights into clear campaign and budget decisions.
  • Experience owning a B2B website — CMS management, lead capture optimisation, and working with UTMs and tracking logic to ensure all traffic is measurable.
  • Deep proficiency in HubSpot workflows, lifecycle stages, lead scoring, automation, attribution, and reporting.
  • Demonstrated use of AI tools in day-to-day marketing work — for planning, creative, copy, performance analysis, or reporting.
  • Experience launching products in India, South East Asia, China, Australia, or similar markets.
  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional work — aligning with Sales, Content, Product, and external agencies to execute campaigns and drive shared pipeline goals.
• Qualities
  • You are a hands-on operator. You don't just strategise — you build and execute across every channel.
  • You think in customer language — you can take a complex feature and turn it into a message a buyer or school counselor could resonate with.
  • You are a genuine Sales partner — you understand pipeline, speak in revenue terms, and take MQL quality personally.
  • You are the connective tissue between Product, Sales, CX, and UX — aligning people across functions and time zones without needing a title to do it.
  • You are AI-native. You reach for AI tools first and use them to move faster, not as a novelty.
  • You are a natural experimenter — you A/B test instinctively and always run campaigns with a clear hypothesis.
  • You are a strong lifecycle thinker — you understand how to move an audience through a funnel, not just generate top-of-funnel noise.
  • You are data-driven: product adoption metrics, VoC findings, win/loss patterns, and campaign performance all inform how you work.
  • You are equally comfortable at strategic and executional levels — you write the strategy and then go execute it yourself.
  • You are organised and detail-oriented across tracking, attribution, tagging, and reporting.
  • You thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments and can manage multiple campaigns simultaneously.
  • You have genuine curiosity about the K12 education space — the counselor workflow, the student journey, and the institutional buying process.

What This Role Is

Manifest Global is building the infrastructure for global human capital mobility. The irony is not lost on anyone internally: a company whose mission is to connect talent to opportunity across borders needs to be exceptionally good at finding, attracting, and closing the right people itself. Right now, that function is not yet what it needs to be.

The hiring infrastructure exists. Greenhouse is live. Recruiters are in place across regions. Roles are being filled. But the function operates reactively — responding to requisitions rather than shaping teams, filling seats rather than building toward a hiring strategy that is six months ahead of the business. The pipelines for critical roles are thin. The employer brand is inconsistent across brands and geographies. Hiring manager confidence in the TA function is not where it should be.

That is what this role exists to change.

The Head of Talent Acquisition owns how Manifest hires — across all four brands, across Singapore, Delhi, London, and beyond — and is accountable for building a function that the business genuinely relies on. Not a support function that processes requisitions. A strategic capability that helps leadership make better decisions about their teams, moves fast on critical hires, and raises the quality of every person who joins the group.

This is one of the highest-leverage roles in the business. Rohan's view is explicit: talent is the number one operating lever at Manifest. The person who builds the hiring engine that delivers on that belief will have shaped every other function in the group.

What Makes This Role Different

Most TA leadership roles are either operational — run the process, hit the numbers, manage the team — or strategic — sit in leadership meetings, advise on org design, produce frameworks. This one has to be both, and it has to be both simultaneously.

Manifest is a house of brands. Cialfo, BridgeU, Explore, and Kaaiser each have different talent markets, different hiring volumes, different seniority profiles, and different employer brand positions. Building a TA function that works across all four — without collapsing their distinctiveness into a generic group hiring process — requires someone who thinks in systems and executes in specifics.

It also requires someone who is comfortable being the person who raises the bar. The Head of TA at Manifest is not the person who makes hiring easier by lowering the standard when the pressure is on. They are the person who makes the case for the right hire even when the business wants to move fast. That is a harder role to play. It is also the one that makes the difference.

What You Own

The global hiring engine across all four brands

• Own hiring strategy across Manifest Global — all brands, all regions, all seniority levels — and ensure the function is operating ahead of business need, not reacting to it
• Drive workforce planning in genuine partnership with leadership: translate business priorities into hiring strategy, shape team structures before they become urgent, and give leaders a view of their talent pipeline that is forward-looking rather than backward-reporting
• Build the pipelines for critical and hard-to-fill roles before they are open — so that when the business needs a Head of Engineering or a Senior Director of K12, there is already a shortlist

The standard for what great looks like

• Define what exceptional looks like across different role types, seniority levels, and brands — and build the frameworks that make that standard consistent: structured interviews, scorecards, calibration processes, hiring manager enablement
• Own quality of hire as a metric that the business tracks and trusts — not just time-to-fill, but whether the people joining Manifest are the people who should be joining Manifest
• Be the person who challenges a hire when the evidence doesn't support it, and who builds the credibility with hiring managers to have that conversation productively

The TA team

• Lead, develop, and hold accountable a team of recruiters and sourcers across regions — set clear performance expectations, build a culture of ownership, and create a function that operates as a business partner rather than a processing unit
• Develop each person on the team with intention — they should be better recruiters and better strategic partners at the end of working for you than they were at the start
• Build the TA team's reputation internally so that hiring managers want to partner with them, not route around them

Data, metrics, and visibility

• Own the hiring metrics that matter: time-to-hire, quality of hire, pipeline conversion rates, offer acceptance, hiring manager satisfaction — and build the dashboards that give leadership real visibility into what is happening and why
• Identify bottlenecks systematically and fix them at the root — not by working harder on the symptom, but by understanding what in the process or the pipeline is causing it
• Give leadership the data and the context to make better decisions about hiring, team structure, and talent investment — not just numbers, but insight

Systems, process, and employer brand

• Own Greenhouse and the hiring workflows that sit around it — strengthen them, automate where it makes sense, and standardise globally while preserving the flexibility that different brands and geographies need
• Shape how Manifest shows up in the talent market across all four brands — consistent where it needs to be consistent, differentiated where the brands are genuinely different
• Ensure every candidate interaction — from first message to final decision — reflects the standard that Manifest's employer brand is being built to

What Success Looks Like

The markers below reflect where the TA function is today. The business will have moved by the time you join — new hires in progress, new priorities surfaced, new brands at different stages of growth. We'll calibrate the specifics together once you're in the seat. These are directional, not fixed.

That said, the shape of success is clear.

You'll start by building a complete picture of the current state — the team, the pipelines, the processes, the metrics, the gaps between what the business needs and what the function is currently delivering. You'll have a point of view on where to move first and what the highest-leverage changes are.

From there, the function will be measurably better. Hiring managers will have more confidence in the TA team and the pipelines it builds. Critical roles will be filled faster and with better candidates. The team will be operating with more ownership and more commercial awareness than before.

Over time, hiring at Manifest will be a genuine competitive advantage — a function that the business builds strategy around rather than reacts to, that gives leaders real visibility into their talent pipeline, and that attracts people to Manifest who would not have found their way here otherwise.

The specifics will be calibrated once you're in the role. The direction won't change.

What You Bring

You have eight or more years in talent acquisition, with meaningful global hiring experience and a track record of building TA functions in fast-growing, multi-market environments. You have hired for complex, business-critical roles — not just at volume, but for the kinds of hires that change what a business is capable of. You have built the processes that make hiring consistent without making it slow.

You are genuinely strategic with leadership. You can sit in a business planning conversation and contribute something useful — not just take the brief, but push back on it, add context, and help leaders think about their teams more clearly. You have done this before and you have the credibility to do it with senior stakeholders who are used to being the ones setting direction.

You are also comfortable being hands-on. At Manifest's stage, the Head of TA is not a function that delegates everything downward. There will be critical searches where you are in the candidate conversations directly. There will be hiring manager relationships that need to be built personally. You do not treat that as beneath the role — you treat it as part of what makes the function work.

You think in systems. You see a hiring bottleneck and you want to understand what is causing it at the structural level, not just fix the immediate case. You build processes that scale because you have thought through how they break under pressure, not just how they work when everything is running smoothly.

You are comfortable raising the bar even when the business wants to lower it. You have had the conversation with a hiring manager who wants to make an offer on a candidate who is not quite right, and you have had it in a way that was useful rather than obstructive. That is a skill. You have it.

Most importantly, you read the description of what Manifest is building and your first reaction was "talent acquisition done well is one of the most important things a company at this stage can get right — and I know how to get it right." That's the person this role is for.

Why Manifest

Manifest Global is building the infrastructure for global human capital mobility — connecting students, schools, universities, and employers across 50+ countries. Our portfolio spans Cialfo (AI-powered college counseling, 2,000+ schools), BridgeU (university guidance for international schools globally), Kaaiser (trusted study abroad counseling since 1997 across India and Southeast Asia), and Explore (AI-powered university outreach, 1,000+ university partners). Together, we move talent across borders at scale. $700B flows annually in remittances from migrant workers. 85M workers will be missing from developed economies by 2030. We're building the operating system that changes that. $80M raised. Still early.

For this role specifically, talent is the number one operating lever at Manifest. Every other function — product, engineering, operations, commercial — performs at the level of the people in it. The Head of TA is the person who shapes that level across the entire group. It is not a support function. It is the meta-lever. The person who builds the hiring engine at Manifest in the next twelve months will have done more to determine what this company becomes than almost any other hire the business makes.

Manifest Global is building the infrastructure for global human capital mobility, operating across 50+ countries with $80M raised from Tiger Global, SIG, and Square Peg.

They are the person who makes the case for the right hire even when the business wants to move fast. That is a harder role to play. It is also the one that makes the difference.

What You Own

The global hiring engine across all four brands

• Own hiring strategy across Manifest Global — all brands, all regions, all seniority levels — and ensure the function is operating ahead of business need, not reacting to it
• Drive workforce planning in genuine partnership with leadership: translate business priorities into hiring strategy, shape team structures before they become urgent, and give leaders a view of their talent pipeline that is forward-looking rather than backward-reporting
• Build the pipelines for critical and hard-to-fill roles before they are open — so that when the business needs a Head of Engineering or a Senior Director of K12, there is already a shortlist

The standard for what great looks like

• Define what exceptional looks like across different role types, seniority levels, and brands — and build the frameworks that make that standard consistent: structured interviews, scorecards, calibration processes, hiring manager enablement
• Own quality of hire as a metric that the business tracks and trusts — not just time-to-fill, but whether the people joining Manifest are the people who should be joining Manifest
• Be the person who challenges a hire when the evidence doesn't support it, and who builds the credibility with hiring managers to have that conversation productively

The TA team

• Lead, develop, and hold accountable a team of recruiters and sourcers across regions — set clear performance expectations, build a culture of ownership, and create a function that operates as a business partner rather than a processing unit
• Develop each person on the team with intention — they should be better recruiters and better strategic partners at the end of working for you than they were at the start
• Build the TA team's reputation internally so that hiring managers want to partner with them, not route around them

Data, metrics, and visibility

• Own the hiring metrics that matter: time-to-hire, quality of hire, pipeline conversion rates, offer acceptance, hiring manager satisfaction — and build the dashboards that give leadership real visibility into what is happening and why
• Identify bottlenecks systematically and fix them at the root — not by working harder on the symptom, but by understanding what in the process or the pipeline is causing it
• Give leadership the data and the context to make better decisions about hiring, team structure, and talent investment — not just numbers, but insight

Systems, process, and employer brand

• Own Greenhouse and the hiring workflows that sit around it — strengthen them, automate where it makes sense, and standardise globally while preserving the flexibility that different brands and geographies need
• Shape how Manifest shows up in the talent market across all four brands — consistent where it needs to be consistent, differentiated where the brands are genuinely different
• Ensure every candidate interaction — from first message to final decision — reflects the standard that Manifest's employer brand is being built to

What Success Looks Like

The markers below reflect where the TA function is today. The business will have moved by the time you join — new hires in progress, new priorities surfaced, new brands at different stages of growth. We'll calibrate the specifics together once you're in the seat. These are directional, not fixed.

That said, the shape of success is clear.

You'll start by building a complete picture of the current state — the team, the pipelines, the processes, the metrics, the gaps between what the business needs and what the function is currently delivering. You'll have a point of view on where to move first and what the highest-leverage changes are.

From there, the function will be measurably better. Hiring managers will have more confidence in the TA team and the pipelines it builds. Critical roles will be filled faster and with better candidates. The team will be operating with more ownership and more commercial awareness than before.

Over time, hiring at Manifest will be a genuine competitive advantage — a function that the business builds strategy around rather than reacts to, that gives leaders real visibility into their talent pipeline, and that attracts people to Manifest who would not have found their way here otherwise.

The specifics will be calibrated once you're in the role. The direction won't change.

What You Bring

You have eight or more years in talent acquisition, with meaningful global hiring experience and a track record of building TA functions in fast-growing, multi-market environments. You have hired for complex, business-critical roles — not just at volume, but for the kinds of hires that change what a business is capable of. You have built the processes that make hiring consistent without making it slow.

You are genuinely strategic with leadership. You can sit in a business planning conversation and contribute something useful — not just take the brief, but push back on it, add context, and help leaders think about their teams more clearly. You have done this before and you have the credibility to do it with senior stakeholders who are used to being the ones setting direction.

You are also comfortable being hands-on. At Manifest's stage, the Head of TA is not a function that delegates everything downward. There will be critical searches where you are in the candidate conversations directly. There will be hiring manager relationships that need to be built personally. You do not treat that as beneath the role — you treat it as part of what makes the function work.

You think in systems. You see a hiring bottleneck and you want to understand what is causing it at the structural level, not just fix the immediate case. You build processes that scale because you have thought through how they break under pressure, not just how they work when everything is running smoothly.

You are comfortable raising the bar even when the business wants to lower it. You have had the conversation with a hiring manager who wants to make an offer on a candidate who is not quite right, and you have had it in a way that was useful rather than obstructive. That is a skill. You have it.

Most importantly, you read the description of what Manifest is building and your first reaction was "talent acquisition done well is one of the most important things a company at this stage can get right — and I know how to get it right." That's the person this role is for.

Why Manifest

Manifest Global is building the infrastructure for global human capital mobility — connecting students, schools, universities, and employers across 50+ countries. Our portfolio spans Cialfo (AI-powered college counseling, 2,000+ schools), BridgeU (university guidance for international schools globally), Kaaiser (trusted study abroad counseling since 1997 across India and Southeast Asia), and Explore (AI-powered university outreach, 1,000+ university partners). Together, we move talent across borders at scale. $700B flows annually in remittances from migrant workers. 85M workers will be missing from developed economies by 2030. We're building the operating system that changes that. $80M raised. Still early.

For this role specifically, talent is the number one operating lever at Manifest. Every other function — product, engineering, operations, commercial — performs at the level of the people in it. The Head of TA is the person who shapes that level across the entire group. It is not a support function. It is the meta-lever. The person who builds the hiring engine at Manifest in the next twelve months will have done more to determine what this company becomes than almost any other hire the business makes.

Manifest Global is building the infrastructure for global human capital mobility, operating across 50+ countries with $80M raised from Tiger Global, SIG, and Square Peg.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Manager – Digital Transformation, Utilities will serve as the central coordination and execution member for advancing digitalization across distribution utilities within the Grids of the Future portfolio. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role that bridges strategic programme delivery, stakeholder engagement, technology deployment, and institutional capacity building. The incumbent will work closely with distribution companies (DISCOMs), grid operators, government energy ministries, multilateral institutions, technology vendors, and civil society organisations to drive measurable transformation outcomes at scale.

The role demands equal command of sector-specific technical knowledge — particularly in distribution utility operations, grid modernisation, software engineering, and energy data infrastructure — and of the human and organisational dimensions of large-scale digital change. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable presenting a roadmap to a utility board, reviewing a technical architecture with an engineering team, negotiating a data-sharing protocol with a regulator, and steering a cross-vendor delivery sprint.

• Build internal capability through training programmes, Centre of Excellence frameworks, and knowledge management platforms so that utilities can eventually self-sustain AI-driven operations.

Change Management and Organisational Transformation

• Design and lead structured change management programmes using established frameworks (Prosci ADKAR, Kotter 8-Step, or equivalent) to drive adoption of digital systems within utility workforce structures.
• Conduct stakeholder mapping, change readiness assessments, and impact analyses for each transformation initiative; develop communication and engagement plans for different audience segments.
• Partner with utility HR and L&D functions to design digital skilling curricula for field engineers, billing teams, control room operators, and senior management.
• Manage change fatigue and resistance in large bureaucratic organisations; coach utility leadership on digital culture and agile ways of working.
• Track adoption metrics, benefits realisation, and behavioural change indicators alongside technical deployment milestones.

Ecosystem Coordination and Stakeholder Engagement

• Serve as the primary relationship manager for technology companies, solution providers, system integrators, and platform vendors operating in the utility digital space.
