Back to All Positions Founding Lead, International Growth Bengaluru, India (Hybrid/Global Travel) Full-time 4+ years About Tradio Tradio is transforming textile sourcing for global fashion and home brands. We eliminate supply chain fragmentation with a full-stack approach uniting sourcing, verified manufacturers, quality control, and logistics. Unlike marketplaces, we deliver end-to-end reliability through technology and a vetted supplier network.
We are a founding team that values building over talk and autonomy over micromanagement. We're looking for someone who doesn't just want a job, but wants to own a piece of the company and write the playbook for how India exports to the world.
The Role
As our Founding Lead, International Growth, you are the bridge. You will be the first person on the ground establishing our footprint in the US, EU, and Middle East. You aren't stepping into a role with a predefined manual—you're here to write it. The Mission (What You'll Build) Own the Map: You will identify, pitch, and onboard global fashion brands and large buying houses. You decide which markets we hit first and how we win them.
Shape the Product: Being on the founding team means your voice shapes the product. You'll feed market insights directly to the product and engineering teams to ensure our platform solves real problems for international buyers.
Tell the Story: You'll represent Tradio at global trade shows (Paris, New York, Dubai), moving beyond 'sales' to build genuine, high-value partnerships that last. The 'Edge' We Need (Who You Are) The Experience: You have 4+ years of real experience in international business development, specifically within textiles,
apparel, or fashion sourcing.
The Network: You've worked with or sold to global brands and buying houses. You know the difference between a tech-pack and a purchase order, and you understand the compliance hurdles (SEDEX, GOTS, OEKO-TEX) that keep buyers up at night.
The Mindset: You are a builder. You are comfortable with the chaos of zero-to-one. You don't need a boss to tell you what to do on a Tuesday morning; you look at the goal and figure out the path. You thrive in ambiguity and own outcomes.
The Tech-Fluency: You understand that the future of sourcing is digital. You're excited to show old-school buyers how a platform-first approach can fix their supply chain headaches. You can work effectively with technical teams to translate buyer needs into product requirements.
Why Join True Ownership: You aren't employee #500. You are a founding member. You'll have significant equity and a seat at the decision-making table.
Real Impact: Your work directly impacts how global buyers source textiles and empowers MSME textile manufacturers across the world to compete at a global stage.
No Red Tape: Direct line to the CEO and founding team. Quick decisions. If a strategy makes sense, we fund it and execute it.
Global Exposure: This isn't a desk job. Expect to travel to textile clusters in India and fashion capitals globally. Ready to Build?
