About the role
SkillsNCR is looking for a Founder’s Office Assistant who can work closely with the founder and help get things done.
This is an early-stage role and is especially suitable for someone looking for their first serious professional opportunity. You do not need years of experience.
We are looking for someone who can learn quickly, understand instructions, work rigorously, take ownership and follow through without needing constant reminders.
The work will be varied. One day you may be coordinating meetings, another day researching vendors, updating a spreadsheet, following up with candidates, helping at an event, visiting a location in Gurgaon or solving a completely current problem.
The mindset we want is:
Understand the task → Figure out the next steps → Execute → Follow up → Close the loop

- Maintaining task lists, documents and spreadsheets
- Conducting online research
- Drafting basic emails and WhatsApp messages
- Calling and coordinating with vendors, candidates, customers and partners
- Recruitment and interview coordination
- Comparing vendors, quotations and options
- Helping organise events and meetings
- Supporting office and administrative activities
- Following up on pending tasks until completion
- Using tools such as ChatGPT, Google Docs and Google Sheets
- Supporting local business activities and errands within Gurgaon
- Helping with new priorities as the company grows The role is intentionally broad.
We do not expect you to know everything on Day 1.
We do expect you to learn,
ask sensible questions and improve quickly.
What we are looking for
- Hardworking and dependable
- Quick learner
- Comfortable taking responsibility
- Organised and good at follow-up
- Comfortable speaking in Hindi and English
- Able to communicate clearly over phone, WhatsApp and email
- Comfortable using basic digital tools
- Willing to research and figure things out independently
- Comfortable with changing priorities

Who should apply
This role may be particularly suitable for:
- Fresh graduates
- First-job candidates
- Final-year students who can commit properly
- Candidates early in their career
- People who may not have a polished corporate CV but are willing to learn and work seriously
Previous experience is not mandatory.
We care more about attitude, learning ability, reliability and execution than the number of companies on your resume.
Example of the kind of thinking we expect
If you are told
“By tomorrow, find three good venue options near Sector 48 Gurgaon for a small event.”
We do not want you to wait for every instruction.
We expect you to think about:
- What kind of venue is required?
- What information should I collect?
- Who should I call?
- What should I compare?
- What is the budget?
- How quickly can I present useful options?
