Manager

This role is ideal for an MBA graduate with 6-8 years of experience in Advertising and Event Marketing, particularly within the publishing sector. The ideal candidate will possess a strong 'hunter' mindset, excelling in revenue generation, strategic concept-to-closure, executive engagement, and end-to-end event execution. A genuine passion for science journalism and the ability to thrive in a mission-driven, fast-paced environment are crucial.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or roles with less emphasis on direct sales and revenue targets should not apply. Candidates without an MBA or the specified 6-8 years of relevant event marketing/advertising experience in publishing (Print/Television/Digital) will not meet the essential criteria. This temporary contract role may also not suit those looking for long-term job security within a traditional government structure.

Working with IIT Madras, a premier educational institution, offers significant institutional prestige and exposure. This role involves spearheading commercial growth for Shaastra Magazine, an IIT Madras publication, providing an opportunity to make a tangible impact on science and technology publishing in India. While the position is temporary, it offers invaluable experience and networking opportunities within a high-calibre academic and industry environment.
