Senior Associate – Brand & GrowthHerbaria – Modern Botanicals

Location: Gurugram

Experience: 3–5 years

Work Mode: Full-time, on-site

Reporting to: Founders

About HerbariaHerbaria – Modern Botanicals is a luxury, sustainable beauty brand creating colourful, fragrant and sensorial skincare rituals.

We believe sustainability doesn't have to be boring. Herbaria brings together botanicals, beauty, fragrance, design and conscious living to create products that are as beautiful to experience as they are considered for the planet.

As we grow across D2C, retail, hospitality, gifting and international markets, we're looking for someone who wants to grow with the brand and eventually take ownership of it.

About the RoleWe are looking for a Senior Associate – Brand & Growth to work closely with the founders across the many facets of building Herbaria.

This is a high-ownership, hands-on role that sits at the intersection of brand, marketing, growth and business development.

You will help shape how Herbaria looks, sounds, communicates and grows — while also being comfortable stepping into a commercial conversation and helping bring business to the brand.

This is not a role for someone who wants to work within a narrow .

We're looking for someone who can think strategically, execute independently, build relationships and get things moving.

The long-term chance is to grow into a Brand Manager and progressively take greater ownership of Herbaria.

We Care More About Your Mindset Than Your Exact Job TitleWe're looking for someone who is: Brand-sensitive

You understand aesthetics, storytelling, positioning and why certain brands create desire.

Commercially minded

You understand that building a beautiful brand and building a successful business need to happen together.

Proactive

You don't wait for instructions for every next step. You see something that needs to be done and take it forward.

Curious

You want to understand the consumer, the category and the business — not just complete assigned tasks.

Articulate

You can communicate confidently with founders, clients, creators, agencies, retailers and hospitality partners.

Organised

You can manage multiple projects, stakeholders and deadlines without things falling through the cracks.

Hands-on

You are comfortable doing the work yourself when required.

Entrepreneurial

You enjoy building in an environment where there isn't always a predefined playbook.

Become a trusted owner of important parts of the business.

The bigger opportunityThe goal isn't simply to hire someone to execute tasks.

We want to develop someone who can eventually manage and grow Herbaria as a brand.

You will work closely with the founders and get exposure to the complete process of building a consumer brand — from strategy and product launches to content, creators, retail, hospitality, gifting, partnerships and growth.

Why Herbaria?At Herbaria, you'll be joining at a stage where there is still a lot to build.

You won't be stepping into a large organisation with a fixed playbook and a narrow role.

You'll have the opportunity to shape the playbook with us.

If you're ambitious, curious, commercially minded and excited by the idea of building a distinctive modern beauty brand, we'd love to hear from you.
