Strategy & Operations Associate

Former COO Meta

About the Organization

We are a global team with roots in Spain, Gibraltar, UK, India and Dubai, with contributors across most fashion capitals building for the new generation of socially savvy consumers.

VibeSquad is where affordable luxury meets social influence. Think of us as the destination for social commerce where digital-first brands come together. Whether you're a creator or just someone active on social media, we’re building a new kind of social commerce where brands and people shop, share, and earn, all while vibing with a global community.

The founders have also built the largest web3 community Blockchained India which is known for launching bluechip initiatives into the Indian market since 2016. The founders have also built Blocumen Studios, a venture studio focused on nurturing blockchain-based products.

The founders bring real skin in the game, not just ideas, but real execution. You’ll be working directly with:

•  A former venture capitalist who has deployed $10M+ in early-stage startups across South Asia.

• A Web3 operator who helped European football clubs build fan-engagement platforms from scratch, and launched dozens of successful token launches for brands such as Atari and Bitcoin.com.

• A team that has launched global products, raised capital, and built communities across Web2 and Web3.

Where we come from matters

Before building VibeSquad, our founders helped shape India’s Web3 ecosystem:

• They built Blockchained India, a pioneer community known for its successful launch and growth of major blockchain networks such as Binance, CoinDCX, Zilliqa, Polygon, ConSenSys, Stellar, Cosmos, and many others since 2016.

• They also run Blocumen Studios, a venture studio nurturing crypto based products. Additionally, we organise cohort-based programs to enable investments into promising community-driven initiatives in India

All this to say, you won’t just be working at a startup. You’ll be working with people who’ve been shaping ecosystems and know how to build from zero to one.
