Zwende is also the only Indian start-up featured by Amazon on their show Now Go Build (NGB) hosted by their Global CTO Dr Werner Vogels — a series that celebrates entrepreneurs using cloud technologies to solve real-world problems. Watch here We are backed by a marquee group of investors who share our belief in the power of creativity and community including Dr Werner Vogels – Global CTO, Amazon, Shanti Mohan – Founder, LetsVenture, Michael Copeland – Ex-Partner, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Shradha Sharma – Founder & CEO, YourStory, Amit Gupta – Co-Founder, Yulu; Ex-Co-Founder InMobi, among others. About the Role This is a Founder’s Office role designed for someone who loves solving complex problems, building clarity from chaos, and turning ideas into action. You’ll work directly with Zwende’s founders across multiple verticals — strategy, growth, partnerships, operations, and special projects — to accelerate key business goals, drive new initiatives, and solve challenges that span the organization. From analysing data to uncover insights, to unblocking bottlenecks across teams, to managing strategic partnerships — you’ll be the right hand that helps ideas move from conversation to execution. This role is cross-functional, dynamic, and deeply entrepreneurial — ideal for someone who thrives in high-context environments and enjoys building systems, creating structure, and scaling ideas that strengthen Zwende’s business and impact. What You’ll Own 1. Strategy & Problem Solving Work directly with the founders to identify and prioritise opportunities across supply, growth, and customer experience. Deep-dive into data and trends to uncover insights, define strategies, and recommend actions (e.g., evaluate impact of shipping timelines on CVR, assess how layout or pricing changes influence conversion). Evaluate new markets, categories, and partnership opportunities through structured analysis and execution plans (e.g., identify high-potential themes like Summer Decor, Corporate Gifting, or Wedding Season). Assess potential new growth channels — define hypotheses, run controlled pilots, and build playbooks for scale (e.g., evaluate influencer, affiliate, or referral models before handoff to marketing teams). Evaluate and drive strategic partnerships with ecosystem organisations like Creative Dignity, NABARD, and craft councils to scale artisan impact and outreach. 2. Revenue Planning & Growth Initiatives Plan and forecast revenues monthly, quarterly, and seasonally — linking financial planning to marketing and category goals (e.g., build festive revenue projections and monitor plan-vs-actual performance). Drive alignment between category, supply, and marketing teams on topline growth objectives. Identify and test new growth initiatives — from community-led campaigns to high-value buyer programs (e.g., corporate gifting, brand collaborations, or offline retail tie-ups). Partner with founders to evaluate ROI of new opportunities and recommend where to double down or pivot. Build visibility dashboards and reports that track revenue drivers, growth KPIs, and key business health metrics. 3. Planning & Execution Translate high-level goals into clear quarterly and monthly plans across business functions. Lead OKR reviews, cross-functional planning, and business tracking to ensure alignment and accountability. Drive monthly revenue performance in collaboration with supply, marketing, and finance teams. Anticipate bottlenecks across teams and drive timely resolutions (e.g., unblocking catalog readiness, resolving campaign dependencies, improving communication flow). Create simple, actionable reports and trackers to enable data-led decision-making across departments. 4. New Initiatives & Partnerships Lead new verticals and pilots that expand Zwende’s business (e.g., launch experiences/workshops, explore international markets). Build partnerships with venues, online platforms, and corporates to grow reach (e.g., pop-ups, corporate gifting programs). Drive PR and brand collaborations for visibility and positioning. Strengthen ties with industry and government partners for long-term opportunities and institutional collaboration. 5. Process Design & Efficiency Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies across supply, operations, and growth teams. Build playbooks, SOPs, and dashboards that make execution predictable and scalable (e.g., campaign readiness trackers, onboarding frameworks, performance dashboards). Collaborate with product and tech teams to streamline reporting and insights. Establish review rhythms and cross-functional feedback loops that drive faster alignment and continuous improvement. Who You Are 2 - 4 years of experience in consulting, founder’s office, operations, or growth roles — preferably in startups or fast-paced environments. Analytical mindset with strong problem-solving, business modelling, and execution skills. Excellent communicator — able to translate ideas across teams and levels. Highly organized and structured; thrives on accountability and ownership. Enjoys working in ambiguity and creating structure from scratch. Bonus: exposure to e-commerce, marketplaces, or D2C ecosystems. You’ll Enjoy This Role If You … Love wearing multiple hats and switching between strategy, execution, and analysis. Enjoy working closely with founders and leadership on solving real business challenges. Get excited by data, frameworks, and new ideas — but also love seeing them executed. Believe in the power of India’s creative economy and want to help scale it globally. You May Not Enjoy This Role If You prefer a 9-to-5 or remote setup; this is a six-day, in-office role. You prefer a purely digital environment. This is equally about on-ground execution, creator meet-ups, and real-world experiences. You have no interest in the creative economy or marketplaces and D2C and don’t want to go deeper into understanding it. You’re more comfortable in structured, process-heavy environments typical of large organisations. Working at Zwende We’re a six-day-a-week, in-office team based in Indiranagar, Bangalore. We believe the best work happens through collaboration, context, and shared purpose. Expect an environment that’s warm, hands-on, fast-paced, and deeply committed to quality — in both people and product. Compensation : ₹10 – ₹15 LPA (depending on current comp and experience) + ESOPs This role offers direct exposure to founders, multi-functional learning, and the opportunity to build systems and strategies that power India’s creative economy.
