Overview

We’re seeking a proven, well-networked, and relentless business development leader to head the India market expansion of NextLevel Acoustics — a US-based premium AV speaker brand positioned for high performance and sleek architectural integration.

You will be responsible for building, scaling, and managing our B2B dealer and distribution network across India, focusing on top-tier AV integrators, multi-brand retailers, architects, and luxury developers. This role requires deep industry understanding, strong relationship-building skills, and a hunger to grow the business aggressively.

Build a national dealer network in line with monthly and annual sales targets.

Offer tailored onboarding, training, and demo support to new partners.

Market Expansion & Sales Execution

Develop and execute a national go-to-market plan by region, segment, brand and product line.

Maintain high visibility with existing dealers through follow-ups, joint events, trainings, and relationship management.

Product & Brand Evangelism

Cross-functional Coordination

Work closely with founder and logistics teams to track imports, inventory, and delivery timelines.

Coordinate with technical staff for training and post-sales support.

Provide structured reporting on targets, sales funnel, and regional activity.

Access to deep network of AV dealers, system integrators, architects, and specifiers across India.

Proven record of hitting monthly / quarterly sales targets in B2B distribution.

Experience with premium AV / Automation brands (e.g., Bowers & Wilkins, Sonance, Anthem, Control4, Savant, K-array) is a must.

Strong understanding of the channel dynamics, pricing structures, and demo strategies in AV distribution.

Must be fluent in English and at least one regional Indian language.
