Fashion Operations Lead (A Get-It-Done Generalist )

Location: Chandigarh / Mohali / Panchkula (Workshop visits + WFH)

Vibe: High Ownership, Low Ego, Creative Freedom

Pay: ₹10,000 - ₹35,000 / month (Based on experience)

Role: Full-time or Part-time

We are Shanti Chola, a slow-fashion yoga brand based here in Chandigarh. We are building something beautiful rooted in mindful living, Indian heritage, and premium craftsmanship.

We need a Right-Hand Human.

The founder is moving into a strategic role, which means you are the "Founder on the Ground." This isn't a boring back-office job. This is for someone who loves the chaos of building a business, respects the art of hand-made clothing, and wants a seat at the table when new products are born.

You are the Masterji Whisperer, the Quality Police, the Product Innovator, and the Creative Coordinator all rolled into one.

• Your Creative Freedom: You aren't just following orders; you are shaping the brand. You see the product every day. We want you to say, "Hey, the neck depth on this Kurta feels wrong, let's change it," or "I found this amazing new organic cotton at the market, let's sample it."
• New Product Dev: You will work directly with the founder to brainstorm and develop new collections. You’ll be the one testing the first sample, approving the fit, and deciding if it’s "Shanti" enough for our customers.

• The Masterji & Dyer Link: You are the bridge. You’ll ensure the Masterji cuts the fabric today, not "tomorrow." You'll coordinate with the Dyers to ensure that batch of Indigo comes out the perfect shade of blue.
• The Hustle: We run a Made-to-Order model. You translate Shopify orders into physical Job Cards and track every meter of fabric like it’s gold.

• Your Mission: Zero. Returns. Ever.
• The Grind: You don't just "look" at the clothes; you inspect them. Is the hem straight? Is the dye even? You aren't afraid to tell a grumpy tailor, "This isn't good enough, please redo it." (Politely, but firmly!)

• The Storyteller: You’ll coordinate with photographers for shoots, ensure samples are steamed and ready, and maybe even scout a cool location in Chandigarh or travel to Rishikesh for a shoot.
• The Logistics Captain: You’ll pack orders with love (literally—our unboxing experience matters), print labels, and ensure the package gets from Mohali to Mumbai (or Miami).

You are perfect for this if:

• You have an Entrepreneurial Mindset: You treat this business like it's your own. You don't wait for permission to fix something that's broken.
• You Speak "Masterji": You can switch from professional English (for reporting and replying to costumer emails) to persuasive Hindi/Punjabi (with the tailors/dyers) in a split second.
• You Respect Craftsmanship: You understand that hand-crafted and sun-dried isn't just a marketing term, it's a process that takes patience.
• You’re Tech-Smart: You can figure out Shopify, navigate Google Sheets, and maybe even edit a quick Reel on your phone.

Bonus Points (The "Cherry on Top"):

• You Love Yoga/Wellness: You understand the "vibe" because you live it. You know why breathable cotton matters during meditation.
• Design Background: NIIFT/NIFT grads who realized they prefer hands on building a business roles.

1. Creative Freedom: Your voice matters. If you have an idea for a new design, a better fabric, or a smarter way to pack orders, we listen. We don't want a robot; we want a creator.
2. A Mini-MBA: You aren't a cog in a machine. You are seeing how a D2C brand is built from scratch. Sourcing, production, R&D, customer psych—you’ll learn it all.
3. Future Growth: We are small now. When we grow, you are the first in line to lead the team.
