About Nolwa Studio

Nolwa Studio is a design studio and gallery based out of Hyderabad, India. The studio creates collectible objects of art and design by bringing together traditional crafts and contemporary perspectives. We work with Indian craftsmen and global designers to create objects that celebrate Indian craftsmanship. We’re seeking people who share our passion for excellence and meaningfully expanding our presence in the world.

Role Overview

The role is intrapreneurial in nature. We are looking for a dynamic, relationship-driven Sales & Brand Strategy Lead to champion Nolwa Studio’s presence across national and international platforms — from galleries and collectors to cultural institutions and design fairs.

You will be representing Nolwa along with the founder and be responsible for growing our reach, building intentional relationships, and ensuring our brand is represented with clarity, coherence, consistency and charisma across all touchpoints.

This is a hybrid role that blends sales leadership (70% focus) with brand custodianship (30% focus), requiring both strategic thinking and hands-on implementation. You will work closely with the Founder to develop and implement sales, outreach and brand building efforts.
