Role Overview

We're looking for a highly driven and analytical Strategy & Program Manager to join the Founder's Office. This role is ideal for a Tier-1 Indian MBA (ISB, IIM A/B/C) with 2-3 years of experience in management consulting (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Deloitte, EY, PwC, or KPMG). You'll work directly with the co-founders to solve high-impact problems, drive strategic initiatives, analyze data, and ensure excellence in execution. Think of this as an internal consulting + chief-of-staff hybrid role in a fast-growing D2C environment.
