Designation:

Location:

Why This Role Exists:

marketing, product, and partnerships

Who We're Looking For:

• 3–4 Years of Relevant Experience :

  Exposure to roles in corporate strategy, business operations, project management, or a founder’s office—preferably in a fast-paced startup or dynamic environment.

• Strategic & Operational Thinking:

  Ability to support cross-functional initiatives, optimize internal processes, and coordinate with teams to meet business objectives.

• Stakeholder Collaboration:

  Experience working with senior leadership, department heads, or founders to manage high-impact projects and align on priorities.

• Project Execution Skills:

  Comfort with managing multiple priorities, creating structured workflows, and ensuring timely delivery of key initiatives.

• Financial & Analytical Acumen:

  Strong understanding of business data, financial metrics, and strategic implications to support decision-making.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities:

• Experimentation: Design, test, and analyse growth levers across GTM, partnerships, SEO, product funnels, and CRM—often simultaneously.
• AI Leverage: Prototype ways to multiply output with AI—think faster research, automated workflows, smarter attribution.
• Problem Solving: Break ambiguous growth problems into first-principles hypotheses, then pressure-test with data and own P&Ls

Non Negotiables:

• Systems Thinker: You see GTM, product, and partnerships as one connected stack—not silos.
• 0 → 1 Energy: You get excited by blank slates and undefined problems; you create structure, not request it
• Mode Switching: Comfortable toggling between “do the work” and “decide what work matters.”
• Bias for Action + Communication: You’d rather ship a 70 % V1 today than a perfect V2 next quarter
• High Ownership: You run toward accountability, not away from it
