Role OverviewWe are looking for an entrepreneurial, high-velocity Founder’s Associate to work directly as the operational right hand to the Director. This is not a traditional administrative job; it is an intrapreneurial role designed for someone who wants to learn how to scale a business, drive client revenue, and lead critical operations.
In this position, you will own three core pillars: Client Acquisition & Pitch Execution, On-the-Ground Operational Leadership during Travel & Recruitment Drives, and Executive Workflows. You will act as a force multiplier for company leadership—taking high-level goals, turning them into executed outcomes, and sharing directly in the top-line revenue you generate.

2. Travel, Drive Leadership & • On-Site Execution
- Field Leadership: Travel alongside the Director for client pitches, strategic partner meetings, and physical recruitment drives in major hubs across India (e.g.,

- Workflow Automation: Implement lean tools and systems to automate standard administrative, calendar, and lead-tracking tasks.
Who You Are (Requirements & • Candidate Profile)
- Mindset: Entrepreneurial, highly resourceful, and outcome-obsessed. You take ownership of problems without needing step-by-step instructions.
- Experience: 2–5 years in Business Operations, B2B Business Development, Founder's Associate / Chief of Staff roles, or as an early-stage startup operator. Experience in IT staffing,
recruitment, or enterprise tech services is a plus.
